Making Soft Plastics? - Fishing Forum | Fishing Tackle | Fishing Gear

Anyone on here make soft plastics? I started last year and have had tremendous success with my own, hand poured baits.

i have thought about starting, but with the ones i have seen others make it just doesn't seem worth it....either the shapes are off or the plastic is too hard or soft, or the colors and glitter are off........i just don't know if i want to waste a lot of plastic (money) to try to get it right when i know there are colors, textures and shapes that already work......if you have any suggestions to shorten, or get rid of, the trial and error part i am all ears

How do you do it?

Like, do you use molds? Where do you get the plastic etc,

It would b e good if you wrote a tutorial teching us how...

The Trial and error parts are half the fun. It is not really that expensive to do and the results are much more rewarding then buying the lures at a store.

After a few attempts I have been making lures that work better then most of the high priced (Is Gary Y. reading this?) soft plastics. My stuff does not look at pretty but catches the heck out of the fish.

i am from the Sellersville area in Bucks Co.

Why try, when I can just steal yours.

I have a lot of Soft Plastics and have never caught a fish on them, or any lure by that matter, bait has always worked for me.

But maybe I should try to make my own...
