This is craft. Craft brings satisfaction for its own sake. There is joy in making these things with your own hands; and fishing would be even more of a pleasure using lures you created yourself. Thanks for sharing, Paul.
the mould materials costs about £2, then the plastisol costs about £.06 per lure. But the initial outlay can be pricey as the platisol and colours are normally sold in quantity. I make things for fun not for pirce as i find there is always someone somewhere selling lures cheaper than i could hope to make them. I suppose also i get to make what i want not what the tackle shop stops. Thanks for asking
I am really impressed with the techniques you used to make this, I can use this to make other things as well. You made it look very easy and the end product works great! Good job.
One of the best instructional videos I've seen for mold making..... your attention to detail and resourcefulness make it easy for me to pilfer your good ideas!!
i can pull it from the mold after 3mins and it olny needs ten minutes in the water to fully cool. I think to start out it can be pricey but the sheer volume of baits that can be made make it worth while Cheers
Ty so much paul. Its just like you said it's only pitting on the outside. Not very many bubbles inside. I'll try to warm the mold before pouring. And I used chopsticks to mix the plastic. I wondered why you used a butter knife.
I also caught with your homemade prawns,these looked good made up,I caught a lot of fish with these last year,we look to you for inspiration,something for everyone,I enjoy watching your videos,Cheers
you can texas rig them, carolina rig them, jig head, use them on spinnerbaits, on buzz baits, cut them down and mount them on spinners and jerkbaits and glide baits and spoons not forgetting the old drop shot rig. Cheers
Did this as a kid of sorts with a Creepy Crawlers toy set that I owned. I actually had some luck with the fly and centipede, but they didn't hold up all that well. After one or two catches the lures would be all but demolished. Still I remember being happy back then because it was something that I made.
Morning Dieter, I have used this with lead, it is not recommended and the molds deteriorate quickly, there is high temperature version which gets up to lead melt temp around 320 deg c but i have never used it. Thinking of jig heads or spinnerbaits?
i have a big box of things that don't work or don't work how i would like, if i don't mess things up once or twice a day then something is wrong. I have ten plastic lures which all look the the same but the internal weight is a different position, nine of them swim like concrete blocks the tenth does a wiggle. I find it hard to get that across in the videos, a lot of these lures i am attempting for the first time like beetle lures and most after testing over and over again. thanks
Awesome job Paul. Seems a lot simpler than I would have imagined. It must be cool to try some funky designs. Maybe try a lure with a fat duck bill tail to compare.
Thanks , Paul , ......yeah , might come in useful some day . Some years ago the chief writer of a local angling magazine(I know him in person) used some special silicone molding clay used by dental surgeons for getting jaw prints for braces or false teeth . He used a life minnow as the master to cast leaden jigging spoons(pirks) . Tried to make my own , but failed due to wrong material , borrowed his mold and cast a few dozens , no problems about heat , real hot perch killers, these pirks !
maaate, you know.... there is nothing better in the world then watching your videos on a flat screen, on the couch, after a great day of work where your boss hates you for being alive aaaand sipping on a nice scottish single malt - - PERFECTION .a
if you look in the description there is a link to a pdf that gives some more information and also places to buy like Makelure and Jann's Netcraft. Cheers and good luck
This looks like fun and you can probably save some money in the long run. Also its nice being able to make custom colors without having to buy whole packs. How long do the molds last? after that initial mold making process all you need is the plastic and coloring, maybe some glitter if you wanna get fancy. That action looks nice.
Great tutorial for mold making etc. I prefer to use my lure making time to craft spin baits or pike flies, gummy worms are here like few euros a pound so I get mine from store. Good tutorial anyhow!
You sir are my hero in soft plastic. I wish I have seen these videos before buying a ton of soft plastic. I wonder if you can add crush shrimp, garlic or even chicken bits in while waiting for the plastic to cool down.
This was a very interesting video to watch. In the beginning I was ready to criticize this but by the end and then seeing the action in the water I was really impressed. I kind of wish I didn’t see this video because now I want to try this so much but do not have the work space at the moment. Maybe in the future. Great video and great lure.
................your creativity never ceases to amaze me , Paul ! This mold material , ...would it hold up against temperatures of molten lead up to 265 degrees centigrade ? Cheers , Dieter
I have just poured the silicone it takes a day to cure, then i'll give it a test if everything is ok i will contact you Monday through ebay cheers and post it out.
hey paul i like your videos and was thinking if you could make a soft plastic shrimp tutorial and probably a squid one too sorry for asking for all of this but its much better when you catch fish with your own lures specially in the florida backwaters
i was fishing last night and caught a pike, a couple of guys who where passing ask me where i got lures from and i said, I made them myself, then i thought that is cool. cheers
the ideas come easily it is often scaling them back, or finding simpler methods that takes the time. I think videoing what i am doing really concentrates my focus. Cheers
Very interesting, I might have to try this sometime this summer and see what I can do, if I do get the time to do it, I will post a video response to this to show you the finished product, very nice job.
These days they are a lure that I often overlook but to be honest I have caught a lot of fish with these and a few different species, so I always have one or two in my box for slow days
+jonnywaselectric latex is not something i have tried with hot pvc but it may work, plaster of paris will work , you may need to seal it with something like epoxy or a heavy wax or use lot of oil. It may be an idea not to bake the master but just leave it soft as it will be very easy to take out of the cured plaster
Jarrah O'Brien nah.....had he made the other side all he would've needed was air vents that connected both ends sitting the whole thing upright and filling from what would be the vent to the bottom and letting it fill to the top and if done just right he could have 2 lures with 1 mould
I have seen a lot of folks cloning baits with a similar process. I wonder if this could work with slabtail jigs like a crappie style bait. They have a very fine tail. If I thought I could make those, then I would definitely want to make my own jigs. I'm just not sure about this process with that type of tail. The tail is very fine. They might need a milled mold to make it work.

Thanks! Another superb video. To say I'm amazed does not begin to describe it.
it is a 700 watt, the cheapest in the supermarket, i normally use it on full power in short blasts. Thanks
the body is just over half which means the hook stands really proud which i find is better for hook ups with pike. Thanks
i can pull it from the mold after 3mins and it olny needs ten minutes in the water to fully cool. I think to start out it can be pricey but the sheer volume of baits that can be made make it worth while

Man, the action on that is better than some store boughts
I agree!!
Wantes to say most store boughts
Ty so much paul. Its just like you said it's only pitting on the outside. Not very many bubbles inside. I'll try to warm the mold before pouring. And I used chopsticks to mix the plastic. I wondered why you used a butter knife.
OK. Sculpting. Mold making. And fishing. I LIKE it. Cheers from Tampa Florida.
Oh yes Florida the home of Captain Jeff, has he called happy bait yet.When Is Happy Bait? Well Let Me Tell Ya!
Okeechobee florida here, these lures our largemouth bass love
@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman how much Cost one of them when you doing IT your self

I'm really impressed.
Thank you for your precious video.
Thank you very much!
That's a lot of work, but looks like fun. Great job. Might try it myself come winter.
The action on that lure is amazing! Great work!
i have made of few molds out of rtv silicone before, but i would say less than twenty over the last couple of years. Cheers
you can texas rig them, carolina rig them, jig head, use them on spinnerbaits, on buzz baits, cut them down and mount them on spinners and jerkbaits and glide baits and spoons not forgetting the old drop shot rig.
Cheers
I love your videos, you always use things the average person has or can easily get.
Love the action in water. Great job!
Man that could catch a ten pound bass the action is insane 🖒

Здравствуйте, слов нет, отличная работа. Все ясно и легко понять. Спасибо за видео.
I bet its so satisfying catching fish on a lure you made yourself

i thought it was great. i also appreciate that it didn't include a bad soundtrack like the majority of youtube videos
Yeah. I prefer the awkward heavy breathing and weird nose whistles.

i have no idea as i don't buy fishing lures but make them for fun, i always think you can find something cheaper if you look hard enough.

Take 1 day to make one lure or spend 5 cents hard choice but this is alot cooler awesome video
I hope you made 1 million of these and sold um or sell your mold I didn't realize how much work it takes to make these great job

Awesome work Paul !! Im new to lure making of my own ! Never tried plastics but this is awesome !
Drew Biasucci it is kind of like advanced kindergarten messing with clay, thanks
I love working with clay to make model figures ill have to give it a try thanks
nice looking bait! I occasionaly pour plastic baits too
Very nice and easy to make it for myself!!!
Great work once again Paul

perfect lure, excellent working,,
i will be doing some soft plastic videos but i am working on some other lures at the moment.
Cheers
You sir are welcome, great job. Time to take a break and go out and fish. Happy Tight lines ;)
OH I LOVE HOW IT MOVES IN THE WATER. MAN O MAN......WOULD LOVE TO USE THAT ON MY NEXT FISHING TRIP.
Great action ! Might have to try it..
You are incredibly clever 🤙🎣
I don't even have half the equipment for this but it's awesome all the same! Great job.
cool, thanks
your work is exceptional, congratulations! I'm going to make my lures! thanks
Wow so much work goes into making these lures, if only you could buy then for under a dollar
the mould is for sushi whip tails not jig heads, have i got that right?
................your creativity never ceases to amaze me , Paul !
This mold material , ...would it hold up against temperatures of molten lead up to 265 degrees centigrade ?
Cheers , Dieter
You are a artist man! Amazing!
Really interesting to see, so much work in it, and so many different products :S thanks for showing.
seus trabalhos são otimos !!! parabens ! your works are great! congratulations
I appreciate having soft plastics more than before I whatched this seen how they are made
Class act Paul, Well done
Thank you for sharing. Great vid, looks like a fun project.
Worth every second watching this video.
I have just poured the silicone it takes a day to cure, then i'll give it a test if everything is ok i will contact you Monday through ebay cheers and post it out.
I have no idea what it is you're making and what it's for, but i certainly like your technique!
It is for catching fish, apparently fish like bizarre things, thanks

the ideas come easily it is often scaling them back, or finding simpler methods that takes the time. I think videoing what i am doing really concentrates my focus. Cheers
Wow great job man I could not do this you have some amazing skills
Do these do a great job catching fish?
This is too satisfying
Very interesting, I might have to try this sometime this summer and see what I can do, if I do get the time to do it, I will post a video response to this to show you the finished product, very nice job.

沒想到假餌也能這樣自己製作 太神了 GOOD

These days they are a lure that I often overlook but to be honest I have caught a lot of fish with these and a few different species, so I always have one or two in my box for slow days
Wow!!! Nice!!!! You are amazing ;)
Do you think liquid latex would work for the mould and the lure?
Or maybe plaster paris mould and liquid latex lure?
+jonnywaselectric latex is not something i have tried with hot pvc but it may work, plaster of paris will work , you may need to seal it with something like epoxy or a heavy wax or use lot of oil.

thanks very much, I bought a 1L of liquid latex for a project and it wasn't suitable. Ill try an experiment one day. Happy fishing

You have the patience of a saint my friend. Nice work.
Great video Paul, I am just getting into pouring my own lures so will be working my way through your videos on the subject. Keep up the great work!

Will do. Thank you.
Wow! It'very good
I'm interested to know what effect the flat side of the grub has. I suppose the only way to really make it round would be an injection mould?
Jarrah O'Brien yep
Jarrah O'Brien nah.....had he made the other side all he would've needed was air vents that connected both ends sitting the whole thing upright and filling from what would be the vent to the bottom and letting it fill to the top and if done just right he could have 2 lures with 1 mould

Very nice video, how long would it take to cool, and how long would it need to sit in water? Is all of these supplies fairly cheap? Please respond.
Wow thats awesome!
Please make more videos like this and please let me know where you got your supplies (Hardware store or fishing store)🎣🎣🎣
congratulations sir, i sat in awe
sei grande. molto bravo. e competente complimenti.....
Your lure making vids are always impressing mate. How versatile are these plastics?
Do you leave them flat on top? So if you wanted a round bait I guess you would need a 2 part mold?
+Ermanno D'Angelo yep, or there are other techniques, but the half round is great for jig heads
same here, found your video by accident, great stuff.
