Thread: Where and What

Im going to start pouring my own plastics but not sure where to get it. Ive looked at many sites and really like what Im seeing at Lurecraft and Caney Creek. Im also wondering what plastic to get as far as the softness and durabilit goes. I know theres a lot of personal preference in softness of plastic but I was wondering if i should just get the medium and a bottle of softerner or dive right in and head for the soft plastic. HELP Im getting over whelmed hahaha, although i won't be beating a horse like that I would appreciate your feedback.

You maybe want to decide if you want to pour or inject first. I inject and wouldn't even consider pouring baits. The quaality seen in injcted baits is way over the top of the best hand poured.

Next maybe decide what kind of baits you plan to mold....pannies?, bass?. Bass will slaughter softer baits so a medium plastic is maybe what you want to begin with if bass are on your mind. Crappies and panfish get all soft plastic in my molds and I even add softener to the soft formula. I use only Caney Creek's pthalate-free plastic. Plastic in smaller quantities will bite you in the butt cost-wise, but get a quart of each of medium and soft to see which one suits you best, then get the 2.5 gallon container in your preferred plastic.
