Anybody else make soft plastics?

[magnum500]

I see a lot of guys that make hand tied jigs and was just wondering if there is anybody other than me that make soft plastic jig bodies.

I make my Chet Fly's (my version of the HalFly) and do some custom pouring for some bass buddies of mine. I picked up a couple of crappie bait molds the other day but haven't had a chance to do alot of playin' with them yet...lol. But all in due time....I am sure they will get their's lol....Good Fishin'...

I am all most ready to start dipping tubes ... Fishing and Grandsons Little League have kept me from getting it all set up ... I do a lot of Speckeled Trout , Red Fish and Bass Plastics as well.

Most of my pouring is for salwater swimbaits. Not enough time for ultra-lite stuff. Like tying the small stuff.

Yes, I pour solid head crappie tubes and a bait similar to the bobby garland slab slayer. Its alot of fun and very addicting, makes you feel good when you catch fish on them. I have a mold for 2" baits hope to have a mold soon for the 3" baits.

tryin to make some minnow imitations, using silver shinners and threadfin shad as the core to pour the mold around. maybe plaster of paris or epoxy for a 2-part mold with the belly open to fill it. using a tube jig lead head to pour on. thought about silicone or hot melt or?? for the body?
any pros and cons and info will help keep my mistakes down . thanks in advance fellers.

good fishin

I can't give you much advice on making your mold. Mine is an aluminum injection mold made in a machine shop. It makes 25 jigs each time. It is nice because once you have the plastic ready it takes about 30 seconds to make 25 jigs. We have caught a lot of fish on these jigs.
