Now the prospect of making my own plastics will give me sleepless nights dreaming of what can be cooked up.

The sky is the limit on coming up with new ideals for making plastic.

Natural colors have really paid the bills for me if any clarity to the water. I watch guys fish right by me with the bright High Contrast jigs without even a tap. I don't say a word, just act preoccupied with my phone till they leave. Threadfin, Blue Thunder, Blue Ice, Eclipse, Monkey Milk, TN Shad, etc. colors work in stained waters well. If I can see shine thru the water from my prop I'm going natural. Naturals are hard to find in 1.25 & 1.5 inch stinger style baits. That's just about all I fish.

It's usually a good idea to send out samples to as many members on this forum as possible for proper feedback:biggrin just kidding. Soynds you have a great foundation and plan. Good luck.

That would definitely a nice mold to make a bunch of popular styles up pretty quick. It would be extremely nice to have it in a two color system.
