Making Simple Soft Plastic Worm, Fishing Lures

[@nasrullahadjisali2122]

highly recommended to watch your videos to those who want to make their own lures. Respect for a man like you.

[@MrMccurley]

I am amazed that the high end producers, from Yamamoto to Lucky Craft haven't come after you with axe handles. This is great stuff!

[@UNTBC]

this guy is the Bob Ross of fishing lures design.

[@davemccracken6436]

It is nice to see someone who cares about something, likes to do it, and is willing to share his knowledge and experience. Thanks from the U.S. I will explore further!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

My Grandad gave me a copy of it when i was a kid which i still have somewhere, he also gave me a an Audio book of Micheal Hordern Reading Arthur Ransom's Rod and Line, i think i listened to it so much i wore the magnetism off the tape. Good luck with the lures and don't be tempted to use the rotator for barbecuing mackerel. Cheers

[@bradjohnson4787]

This was very, very good. You were thorough and explained the hazards which often get neglected.

[@matthewjackson2853]

So rewarding when you catch even an itty bitty fish on something you have made on your own.

[@danwillis2671]

The way you did the texture was simply brilliant.

[@ExcellsiorFishing]

That is one of the greatest books ever ! And again a great video !

[@billybass4189]

Anybody else watched this with captions on? Fkin hilarious i tell thee. Btw great lure making, i want to do it but far too lazy for mould building.

[@arfurfoxhaike]

Fantastic video Paul,a joy to watch,Thank you.

[@space.cowboy69]

Looks like a good bait for small bass ponds, ill have to try this out

[@MegaPerson012345]

Thank you. Your videos help me sleep at night. Your voice is very soothing.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

worms they are good for you

[@stevenbass3380]

where can i get the stuff you use to make the worms?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

in the uk i s lurefactors, europe there is lurepartsnl,Usa Makelure (allumilite), Bears Baits, Jannsnetcraft, thanks

[@matthewsymes4099]

I'm 14 and I love fishing but I don't think my parents would go for this a that much...is there any way to do this to where its safer thanks these lures look great

[@stevenbass3380]

do you know how to fly fish?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

yes very badly, some people consider me a danger when holding a fly rod

[@baggs1955]

Thanks Paul. I always look forward to relaxing and learning from your awesome vids..

[@sylviaaugustine8849]

They feel very high quality and have great action. I've only tested it so far shore fishing on the minnesota river. That being said; so far, so good.

[@alexpankey6513]

Watched the whole thing. Looks good. I may have to try this

[@russellcampbell7840]

well I'm learning all kinds of uses for molding rubbers really liked this video

Great job very informative as I have just returned to fishing after thirty years and this soft baits spin my mind they are great thanks for showing how to DIY

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

[@NorthernScript]

another great how to! thanks for this Paul! always look forward to your next video. cheers

[@heathschwab]

Wow that's a nice perch wow I miss yellow perch they do have them in Louisiana. Sucks ide love to go back up north to the first place with the perch and walleye fish for days and bring some back down here. But great mold love it. I really need to make one or some. Thanks for sharing and explaining how. God bless

[@mr.notimportant]

Great video man, simple. Thanks!

[@CASLUICEBOX]

teaching my boy this art...showed him your video, now he understands me!!! FYI add gloss glaze to your master worms for a better gloss finish to the worm baits...thank you from dad and son.

[@JaredElliott1]

Nice video. Seems easy enough for anyone to do.

[@michaelsoileau1820]

I enjoy your videos. You take your time an explain everything. Thanks

[@61diemai]

Very nice video again , Paul , ...great idea about that texturing tool ! Greetz , Dieter

[@andrewwayman1925]

nice video i am just starting to try and make soft plastic lures. your video was very helpful.

[@BrendanBFree]

Couldn’t find lined paper, but I found 2mm graph paper! My worms will come to life soon!

[@ExcellsiorFishing]

Again another great video . Ps: that is one of the greatest books ever !

[@sgtpavlov]

nice plastic pouring! i do that sometimes too,and make custom molds with the putty version of silicon rubber

[@richardgutierrez5327]

that was an awsome video!!!! thanks for the wealth of knowledge and also the clear cut instructions.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@ExcellsiorFishing]

Again a great video ! Ps : that is one of the greatest books ever ! And thanks for all the help with the lure rotator I got all the parts and have it working .

[@WEBBURITO]

great video. very helpful

[@hichamtai1]

Amazing I love people those come with creative and alternative ways, but still need to know how you dig the hook into the lure ! Thanks

[@bigguy201263]

Think your videos are excellent, i get emails as soon as you have uploaded anything new and i have made a few of the spinners myself,,not had much chance at using them just now with the weather here in Scotland but i will keep you posted, great work Paul and cheers for sharing.

[@ChuckRichardsHandmadeKnives]

Nicely done, thanks for sharing

[@JonahMathias6000]

Nice perch

[@fishingtheeast4898]

Great vid n nice perch as well

[@FiratCubukcu]

Congratulations Paul... It's another magnificent work, still and pure presentation style with high quality video....

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Cheers Dieter i should get my wife to do a German voice over

[@kzookid2051]

Good, clear info. Thanks.

[@tsmythe9797]

This is a brilliant video and I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for the time you spent in doing all the preparation work and for sharing it in such a manner. Excellent!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

thanks, i am glad you enjoyed it

[@isizinyo]

cool mate love your videos. thanks

[@Lpxm]

when pouring with the thin stream do it side to side on one end, doing it on one spot it folds over itself lots creating bubbles and pushing them down, if you do it side to side it doesn't fold onto its self and you get less bubbles =]

[@SpinningForDummies]

Nice video!

[@guraykaraaslan5789]

I congratulate you I wish you continued success It's quite good your work is quite sobering

[@Husrip19]

Really interesting videos You have. I prefer to make lures from metal.. and i really enjoy it ..

[@Coyote87]

This looks like a lot of effort just to make something you can buy for a few cents a piece, but I can imagine the satisfaction when you hook a fish with those home made lures. The making of those lures looks like a lot of fun too for the long rainy days too. Thank you for the video, now I got to find out where I can buy the "ingredients" and make me some lures

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

That is a trout reservoir that has a good head of perch and no pike to compete. I am still trying to decide what is next i had an idea for shad based lure, but i wanted to come at it from a different angle and then it is case seeing if i can film it. But as I finally finished this vid I went out for a couple of hours piking,found a little fella and missed a couple more. Cheers

[@OrilliaFishing]

This is perfect! I might give this a go this winter while I'm stuck indoors. You mentioned re-heating the plastics to melt them down again - is this able to be done with plastic from large bait manufacturers? I have a bucket full of ripped up worms and other soft baits I'd love to recycle.

[@Toguse]

Great video as always Paul. Could you kindly do video on how to make plastic fish lures? Thank you.

[@andreapapadimitriou1609]

thanks, great video

[@davidoneill2254]

great instructional video paul. your lures always look professional and not home made jobs. this is an excellent video as you can alter the design any way you want and can change the colour, cheers dave

[@hassanbelakhdar7297]

thank you for this idea

[@TheHowToHobbyist]

Thats awesome!

[@fotikaratasakis9248]

Good work

[@maxwolf1602]

Extremely helpful and great video overall. You just got another like and subscriber. Thanks!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

glad you found it useful

[@williamv6044]

Could you make an instructional video on making soft plastic jerkbaits please? Thanks. Love your videos by the way!!!

[@luizpc8366]

paul hello am aq of Brazil like fishing from mto loved your videos :)

[@boukellalredouane3543]

you'r geni i love this video

[@tazmanmn]

Great video Paul and a nice fishing spot you got there... whats next paddle tail shad plastics??? ;-)

[@alemkarabegovic9521]

nice vid!!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

It was just the right thickness, but i still felt a bit guilty miss-using one of the fishing greats. Thanks

[@simonhopkins3867]

fantastic video my fishy frend. ;-)

[@luizpc8366]

ola paul sou aq do brasil gosto mto de pescar adorei seus videos :)

[@MoistSeagull]

+Paul Adams Great video! I there a way to cast a mold for a completely circular worm so there is no flat spot or void on the exposed part of the cooling plastic?

[@julianberger1460]

Nice vid

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

Nice little pairch at the end! Is the plastic you use to pour with the same as PVA adhesive? Also could you make a lure actually from silicone like we use for sealant on worktop's? Mixed with glitter and stuff?

[@bradjohnson1091]

That's awesome

[@fishindad2]

i am just starting to make soft plastic lures and am wondering if its ok to use sandwich/freezer bags for them until I can get bags made for them

[@lars81965]

Great video, again ;-)

[@RollinCajunGaming]

Have you tried to over pour the mold just a little to get more of a rounded side on the top instead of completely flat? I would imagine if you pour a little too much it would round off like if you were to put water in the mold. I've never poured any lures but I'm wanting to get into it but I'm not so sure about the flat side of the lure. I'd much rather it be a little more round not so flat.

[@xpend567]

Thanks Paul

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i would estimate these worms cost about £0.05 each to make so they are cheap, but to be honest i just like making things and they do not sell plastic worms in my local tackle shop, but you can buy all the live ones you want. cheers

[@johnsemar107]

subtitles on point

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i am just working on one at the moment cheers

[@rexjonhdeer8180]

Hey Paul, i was wondering if you know of any other silicones that i can make the mold out of because the one you used in the video, they don't sell in the US. Im not knowledgable about these things so i was wondering if there was some other brand that you had used and the would work for the mold. Thanks a bunch if you can respond and amazing video like always! cheers from the US

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

smooth on do lots or alumilite

[@bripod238]

Subtitles are The Bomb! Mute this vid and watch it again... you'll laugh your a$$ off. Great vid BTW, very informative. Just enjoyed the subtitles more... ;)

[@2DNoodles]

Great video but im super lazy. Do you sell premade molds or know anywhere to buy premade molds to pour your own soft plastics?

[@CJ-cu1ys]

Look up do it molds on Google

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

if you mean the sculpey then i think so but the liquid pvc or silicone won't be at least i don't think so cheers

[@gromacs1]

hope you dont mind me giving a suggestion , in your colour rubber mix , also mix in some glitter colours for different affects , you can also use clear rubber with coloured glitter.. inside to ....

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i do use glitter and other colours, but to be honest i like the plain the red ones as well and i am never one to refuse a suggestion. cheers and happy new year

[@RocketBurn11]

Is it possible to the use baked polymer clay for the mold itself? Seems temperature resistant and Ridgid.

[@avrahamcohen2134]

Hi Paul, I am watching your videos and I would like to ask what can you use if you don't have liquid PVC in order to make the lures... What other material can I work with?

[@memberson]

I have never made this type of lure in my life, I have made Bucktail and I've caught fish on the Bucktails.tall I did was eyeballed it putting together in 5 min. I like what you're doing, there's no way I can do all of this. The cost measuring calibration sanding and then when you pulled out that gas mask I was done, I don't want any lure that bad., , if it moves right and looks like it's in trouble, a fish is going to hit it.even if it were a car key.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

You are right i can find no real explanation for why i spend a huge amount of time making fishing lures, i no i enjoy it and that is good enough for me. Thanks

[@cmiller3371]

Would i be able to use soft plastics I bought as the master copy for the mold?

[@bparkeraus]

G'day mate just wondering what is the price difference between making your own gear and buying it?? Great videos

[@samuelalejandrosalazarcabr5309]

Awesome Vid or film like u say. But😨😨😨😨😨😨How u put eyes on it????,before or afther molding??????. Thks for share

[@jfalbo]

When I click your list it says "This document has been removed from Scribd." Looking for where to buy supplies? Thanks

[@ronaldoronz6154]

so the lure factors must be purchased at what shop? should be small stove fire and stirred continuously?

[@debibogosian421]

Will a toaster oven work for all the cooking? Plz answer and thx for the vid

[@purplejuice476]

You could tey and add scents into the die as well possibly? Like garlic?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i normally add scents when i am fishing, it means i have more options than when i add it at the pouring stagecheers

[@oze147]

Hi Paul! Its me again with another question: Do you think I could use a bunch of drinking straws as worm molds or does the liquid plastic becomes too hot? (I saw this for making jelly worms for childrens partys, just google for pictures of "squirmy jelly worms"). Oh, and before I forget it, thx for another well explained lure making tutorial!!!

[@papileche]

Question What happened to a piece white paper Dipped into the plastisol ( removed from microwave)? Does the paper turn into transparent?

[@petergregory5286]

Hi Paul, What grade of the soft plastic did you use? I've read that the softest grade may not stand up to the rigors of sea fishing. Regards.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i am using the soft version of lureflex, from lure factors which feels pretty tough to me, i do have a hardener that i can add to stiffen up and make if either medium or hard but as yet i have not used it. I think if i was doing larger baits i would go medium. But i m guessing all companies will have there own mixes. I haven't really done a lot of sea fishing with soft plastics but i can tell you they are a hell of a lot tougher than a rag or a lug-worm even when mummified in bait elastic. Good luck

[@loganlance6808]

hey paul I was wondering if you can make a video of a 2 part mold tube bait

[@KenKthulhu]

Nice video. What are the costs of the items you have used?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

sculpey was £11 but this can be bought in small quantinties for aboyr £3.50, the rtv silicone cost about £2.60 to pour this mould (£26per litr approx). The pvc is $14.50 a litre but that will make hundreds of worms this size. Colours are about £3.50 but will last for thousands of baits. Price wise i think there is always a cheaper way to buy soft plastic lures, but i find much more fun to make my own. thanks

[@masonplaysgames7208]

I have some crayola clay that just hardens on its own. Do you think it would work for making the mold?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

CheifME anything that you can make a shape out off that has a relatively smooth surface should do

[@masonplaysgames7208]

Ok thanks!

[@quadcast4268]

I made a video on using a clay mold

[@mmfishing3118]

Try fishing with the ends on :p
