Making Lure Molds on the Cheap

[@fabesfishing]

Good idea. After using the cheaper pop found that it doesn't become hard enough to withstand pressure. So used dental pop instead

[@RegularGuyLures]

That’s great advise, I’ll have to try that out. I liked those poppers you made by the way too. Stay Regular!

[@tonyduran4764]

The extra lure sprue is ingenious! I hate how much plastic is lost in some of these molds. You really need to patent that and sell it to the larger mold makers. Great job man.

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you for the idea! I appreciate the input.

[@kamarte]

You have a great practical perspective on technical matters. Koodos!

[@nasaman23]

You did a fantastic job. The cost of fishing has gotten ridiculous. I subscribed.

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you so much for the support. The high prices is what keeps me trying to find the cheapest way to make lures myself. Please check out some of the other videos and send me any pictures of lures you make and we can feature them on the channel. Stay Regular!

[@xiphiasmarlin5827]

What a clever idea to benifit fron additional lure, that is a something i ve never thaught about 👍👍👍 Good job, for the bubbles as you read in a comment, a thin layer and wait for a moment... And when you poore your plaster after that, do it not on the body of the lure, fill arround it. Thank you for your sharing 🤝

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you for the advice and I hope to see you back on the channel. Stay Regular!

I'm definitely going to try this!

I just found this video tonight, and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and techniques. Where would I go for one of those injectors? Thanks!

[@RegularGuyLures]

They sell them on the Big River website. Just search soft plastic injector. There is a nice one for $25. Thank you for the encouragement. Stay Regular.

[@Jimmy-sb3fc]

@@RegularGuyLures I looked up Big River and didn't find the company. Could you provide a link? Thank you so much!

[@timmyfontenot7104]

Something that might help you with bubbles around you lures. Pour a thin layer over your bait and let sit for a minute or two. That will help let the bubbles escape and fill the rest up. Now I use silicone but it should work with the plaster.

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you for the advice. I'll give it a try. Stay Regular!

You can also go to an auto parts store and buy fibreglass resin by the gallon it’s a lot cheaper.

[@tezzaskayakfishing]

How long do you need to let the first layer set before you pour the top layer? I know you left it overnight due to life but if you were just doing it how long would be a good leave time?

[@RegularGuyLures]

You just need to wait until it’s set or hardened. At that point, just use an oil based mold release like petroleum jelly or cooking spray and then you can pour the next layer of plaster on top of it. You need to make certain that your mold master will either not stick to the plaster or apply a mold release to that as well. Stay Regular!

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

Thanks for the Show & Tell, great well explained video Certainly going to give this a go, everything is getting FAR to expensive to buy already made products from a tackle store Cheers Stevo Oz

Hey regular guy, when you brush your Mold with petroleum jelly would worm oil as an alternative?

[@RegularGuyLures]

Thank you for the support. I've never used worm oil, but any oil based lubricant which would hold to the mold would get the job done. Lately I have been using a coating of cooking spray. Petroleum jelly is dirty and cheap, but I found cooking spray to be, quick, dirty and cheap which makes it better! The petroleum jelly is what I was using for the first pour to see if the mold worked. Once I like the mold I add two coats of polyurethane which acts as a permanent mold release. It also helps the lures have a more shiny finish. You Stay Regular!

[@tezzaskayakfishing]

@@RegularGuyLures great stuff. Love your work. I just made my self some plaster open pour molds today so tomorrow I’ll be giving them a trial. 🤙. Look forward to more videos from you.

Why don’t you use the packaging as a mould for your lures?

[@RegularGuyLures]

I’ve thought about that before but from what I’ve seen the packaging has a lot less detail and I’m not certain if the tail would wiggle. But there is only one way to find and that is to make a mold. You Stay Regular!

[@barebooger]

Can't you remelt the sprue?

[@RegularGuyLures]

You absolutely can, but you can also make another lure instead. It’s just a different idea in a sea of molds that all look alike. Thank you for the suggestion and You Stay Regular!

[@buffaloperformanceandanaly1431]

What kind if polyurethane do you use?

[@RegularGuyLures]

I use minwax fast drying clear gloss polyurethane, because it’s quick, dirty, and it used to be cheap. You Stay Regular!

[@buffaloperformanceandanaly1431]

@RegularGuyLures Thanks! I made my first lures and when I pulled them out of the mold some of the plaster flaked off with it. Hopefully this will fix that!

[@RegularGuyLures]

@@buffaloperformanceandanaly1431 I’m so excited to hear you tried it out! Flaking will happen sometimes, but once I’m happy with the mold that’s when I seal it with the polyurethane. I would love to see pictures of what you’re making. You can send me photos of them to my email: [e-mail]. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to share them in a video. Thanks for the support! You stay regular!

[@deerschooolman]

Do you preheat the mold

[@RegularGuyLures]

You absolutely can. I generally don’t, but I could see how preheating would have helped this mold. The beauty of plaster is that it takes the heat very well. You can either heat it in the microwave or use a griddle. Thank you for the question and You Stay Regular!
