Home Made Soft Plastics

[Fishpart]

Patrick, Got Stripers has some great articles on how to make soft baits here http://www.rgsiroisco.com/articles.htm. There is also a book by C. Boyd Pfeifer on tackle making that has a decent article on making your own soft baits and molds. I made some Fin-s type molds using plaster of paris, but the baits kind of stick. When I painted the molds i found the baits pull the paint out, not a huge deal but you get a little paint on your fingers. You really need to read Got Stripers article on making your own, it would have made me more successful my first time out. You can recycle all of your old soft plastics, so be sure you save them as they rip. LOL
