OSP, Geecrack etc use a salt base in their sofubi lure it helps maintain both an interesting texture and allows for the retention of that scent that's the only reason why I like the official ones, I haven't figured out how to get that same texture due to the salt. great video my friend!
Thats a great idea. The bottom would have to be flat so you could glue the plastic down and im sure you could pry it out with a knife. The sides dont matter at all so if the prying screwed it up it wont matter. Let me know if you try it.
If that works for you keep it up, but thats like saying use any old stick bait not a yamamoto senko. The senko just flat out produces thats why we use it. The dice is not a cut senko.
@Ijustwanttofish2024 I'll be the first to say this. I personally haven't seen one bit of a difference in fishing Yamato senko vs. others none. It comes down to what you have confidence in. Two, I'm saying you can take any worn-out plastic bait and make a spider dice thing, bass eat and eat, they will eat anything when they are in the mood.
@@rickvann3489 The whole point of dice or using a yamamoto senko is because we are fishing for fish that are not in the "mood". Thats where you will notice a difference. If you dont, all good.
I dont think it would be easy cutting the cubes but Im not sure. As far as just melting the plastic in a microwave safe container that is cube shaped Im not sure it will work, but let us know if you try it.
@@formatr6 There is no reason. you can do as many as you like. I started off with one to experiment. Then I did another. Then I made my own body a bit bigger so I had three bodies at that time. I was really just messing around and thats how it worked out. Three at once is pretty good because they only take a couple minutes to cool down and your back at it.
The dice are around $5 ea. I'm definitely trying it this winter when I'm not fishing and tinkering in the garage. Thanks.
Great idea, good luck!
I used a needle and skirt material last year to turn yamatanukis into imo kemushis and had a lot of great luck!
Awesome idea, I love it. Very creative. There is really so much you can do with soft plastics and skirting material.
ordered skirt material and a threader for this. got some of the new 4.25 yamatanukis
@@cm-pu6tx super easy mod. i just threw on some youtube and went to it for a whole pack. Took like 20 min or so!
This is great to hear. I’ve got some of those and some other super salty heavy fat jdm baits I’ll try this with 😊
@@cm-pu6tx great idea and info, thanks!

great video my friend!
use old bellows gills etc and melt them down. I swear to you tho I have thrown them at fish side by side and there is no difference.
Cut a SK Echo into sections an add silicone or live rubber. Cheap and works.
Thanks!
Thanks for showing how to make these! Enjoy how to videos! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos!
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Dude great video gave ya a follow 💪
Thanks so much! I have a lot of great stuff coming.
Great content. Subbed.
Thanks man! appreciate it!
Could you use a small ice tray for a mold? Or would it hard to get them out of the tray?

I actually just used some small dice 🎲 to make my molds
Awesome. Good luck!
Lmao... take a big senko and thread spinnerbait/ jig skirt through a section cut it to desired size fish. ( I usually us old worn baits)

@Ijustwanttofish2024 understood, my point is this will work by just making your own and a lot cheaper
what is that tool called you used for threading the skirt strips thru
Its just called a rubber threader made by decoy
why not just pour into a rectangular containers and cut them into cubes? Better yet get a microwave safe tray and avoid pouring all together.
I dont think it would be easy cutting the cubes but Im not sure. As far as just melting the plastic in a microwave safe container that is cube shaped Im not sure it will work, but let us know if you try it.
make one mold that's about 10 cubes long or so, then just cut them to size?
yes you could do that. You would need 10 bodies to start. The plastic dries pretty quick so even with a few mold you can make them pretty quickly.
or.. hear me out.. cut small sections off of a senko.. it doesnt even have to be perfect..
Yeah I did that originally. My opinion it dosent work the same but you will get bit.
@@Ijustwanttofish2024 ok! i will try and make a proper mold and give a try to better made cube =) thanks
@@gabrielduarte3904 Let me know what you think.
SOlid video
Thank You!
@@Ijustwanttofish2024 Curious why you didn't put (2) dice on 1 mold? Do you think the mild will need to be bigger to hold (2) dice

@@Ijustwanttofish2024 Cool I'm going to build my mold this week. I'll let you know if I fit 2 in your mold dimensions. Thanks
@@formatr6 You will be able to do it. Let me know how it turns out. I like those dimensions because you conserve the molding silicone.
Ocho not Echo. I hate spell check.
I was wondering, lol
So kinda curious what exactly do you use these baits for and how to you rig them ?
I have a video on that. ruclips.net/video/S13qewjN2Nk/видео.html
