Well I’m still new to it, but there’s definitely some budget options to get practicing! It’s fun, and will be rewarding to catch on something you made!!
I would advise to be careful with the baits you use. I ruined plenty of silicone since this video attempting molds. Hand forming a mold with clay had been the best for fully cured silicone.
@@CrossRhoadesFishing no problem! Make sure you superglue the baits to the box you use, and some silicones dont fully cure against soft plastics. Spray with some sort of clear coat so they cure. Otherwise, the time to fully cure is triple, and you have to wipe spare residue off the mold after with nail polish remover.
So what do u do after u pull out the worm,. I did 1 and the part that touches the worm didn't cure, so do I just wipe it out?wash out? Or let sit to dry without worm in it
Let us know some of your tips and tricks to making molds! We would love to learn and get better with YOUR help!
I've never made a silicone mold, but I feel like a toothpick through the tail into the body, would help keep the tails straight.
Love the video guys, we have been thinking about making our own lures for a while now. Just never really knew were to start "LOL"

Glue the baits in place prior to pouring the silicone. It looks like the tail end of two baits floated upward as the silicone cured.
Fantastic how to video on bait making!
Gonna do an entire series. Once we roll some baits out I will shoot ya some to test!
@@A.Blair_Fishing awesome, can't wait to see them!
I had bought a kit for lure making but never had time to mess with it. This is a cool method to make some molds

This is pretty cool. I'm about to pick up a 3D printer to create some molds.
Super easy, and theres lots of content out there! Stay tuned for more mold making.
@@A.Blair_Fishing I just ordered these silicon packs on Amazon. I can't wait to try them. Thanks so much for this video!

Where Did you get your Silicone mixture from?

Did you ever have a solution? I just made one and am curious is this can be fixed!
When your soft plastic is poured into the mold the heat doesn’t effect the silicone?
I used 30 shore silicone, heat doesn't affect it, however there must be a chemical reaction cause my baits come out cloudy...
about how many cups would you say it made
I believe 2. It’s been so long and I do not use the mold anymore.
Wow this is an old video 🤯🤯🤯
Mole making is not easy. You have to let it sit for at least 24 hours after pouring the stickiness needs to dry off
