Can someone point me in the right direction for pouring plastics? I figure a handful of molds and various materials should get me started, just don't know quite where to start.
I would like to start with Senko clones (heavy salt and good weightless casting) and perhaps a craw or whatnot.
Thanks!

You can find everything you need from Lure- Craft. They have by far the best selection of molds, plastic, glitter/flake and coloring pigments out there. Call them for a catalog at 1-800-925-9088. They also have a web site lurecraft.com, but you cant place an order on it. I beleive you can order a catalog from it.
There is also a company called M-F manufacturing 1-817-281-9488, I prefer their plastic. There coloring pigments I use to some extent, and there powder hilites are the best.
If you would like some help send me a pm. I have been pouring my own baits for 10 years now. It's fun to make your own baits that are unique to what others have.

Can't help with the pouring part, but I have saved up my used & abused plastics for a few guys I know that do pour their own. Get started saving your old stuff. Segregate it into color groups, and go for it. I'd be inclined to add garlic paste or garlic salt. :eek: Whooooeeeeee! Do that outside!C&R, Steve

Be very carefull adding liquid sents to hot plastic! Trying to mix it in to the hot plastic can be a nasty experience!!
