Yes ctom and I enjoy every minute of it just thinking of what else I have in those molds out there that I can conjure up next.

You done something I've been doing for over a decade - making hybrid lures from the parts of at least two lures using a candle flame to slightly melt the two ends. (Beats using super glue.)
Here are a few ideas:






You can also dip the bodies of grub, short worms and tubes in hot plastic to increase the body thickness:

I started playing with the cutting and welding back in the early 70's when I began a serious quest using the plastic. There weren't a lot of options back then.

Nice looking stuff there Spoon!

Thanx. I'll post more once I find them in my album.

Here are a few I just dipped:



I've found that they all get hit, but couldn't say if it was because of increased body thickness. Hope so....
I melted green pumpkin with flake and it modified the original colors such as clear, chartreuse, motor oil and root beer.

wow This is sure exciting and I'm like seeing what I see just makes me want to get back in the shop and mess around some more but fortunately I got to do business before pleasure to see more this on here guys.

This 14" crappie and seven more like it sucked a dipped grub deep!
