Hey there guys and gals.
I'm back for another year of Crappie fishing Probably mostly in the lake Decatur/Shelbyville area.

Here is the thing though, I have some (at least I think) decent ideas to try out, and I would like to get some more information on pouring soft plastics. I would eventually like to branch out and make my own company, but you have to crawl before you walk and jump before you land right? Anyways.... lol


I am looking for an affordable and decent plastic.... what should I go with? Plastisol or something else? That is the main thing... are there any dealers within an hour or so drive from decatur that sells plastics for pouring? The S&H of online products are KILLER... If there aren't any dealers in central IL., then where can I get a good deal. (I'm sure plastic loss will be a factor at first, so I am going to need to play around to find the best methods)


I am starting not only as a business venture (to get back into the work force), but as a way to promote the sport, and give back to my favorite pastime. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.

I posted this in the Illinois section first, because this is where I was born and raised, and my company will have its roots here. Any and all help will be noted!! Possibly even a freebie or two when I get things going

I am a retired veteran, so I can pour (pun intended :P) a lot of time into starting my business, even if I start out slow, that is fine with me... What could be better then starting something that keeps me on the water, puts a tank of gas in my wallet, and a smile on the face of the person using my product? lol

Please post back

Thanks, Wit
