Thanks for revisiting this, Chris. Every time you go from the beginning, you change it just a bit, & I get something new out of it! 👍👍

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

I like how you encourage and inspire people to do it as well. My kids really want me to do it with them and create really cool designs and our own bait.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Y'all should give it a try

[@quickresponsefishing]

@@WorldsWorstFishing they don't know it but I made a note on my phone based off your videos where to buy, best quality, etc. Setting cash aside I think it will be a Christmas surprise.

[@marctheriault]

I've gone through all of your "intro" videos over the past couple of weeks and was inspired to dive right in. The orders are starting to come in and I was able to do a couple of the 4" AI swim baits this afternoon as a test run. Still more orders on the way (pretty much ordered a few more things with every new video I watched), but I even gleaned a couple more suggestions from this one. I can attest that this 2.0 was a perfect summation of all your previous demos and will likely inspire many more converts like me. Well done, sir.

[@michaelgarcia4210]

Hey guys! I’m 15 and have my own recycled fishing lure business. I’m currently driving home from the ER after getting 3rd and 2nd degree burns from some hot plastic splashing into my hand. Definitely some of the worst pain over ever felt, I can’t stress enough the importance of PPE. If I was simply wearing my gloves the burns would’ve been severely less. If you’re just getting into bait making, invest in some good PPE, you’ll thank yourself in the long run. There’s no such thing as too safe, learned that lesson tonight.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

glad you are okay!

I’m fourteen and just starting in making soft plastics.

[@josephdisselkamp2586]

I have a couple doit molds. They're not cnc quality but all baits shine when wet! Simply spray them with high temperature engine paint (I use clear) and you'll get a much nicer finish, or you can always clear coat them. I agree cnc molds are a better finish straight from the mold!

[@larrypayne1136]

Great Video as always. I just started making soft plastics a month ago and I have learned so much from these videos. The best thing is how detailed they are about colors, molds, companies to order the through, cooking times, etc…. I recommend all rookies watch and subscribe to this channel.

Have learned in a very short amount of time that putting your cup on a scale and hitting the tare button before adding color and flake is fantastic for exact formulas. Found mine for a buck at a garage sale and it weighs out to .01 of a gram

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Yes if you really really want exact formulas you can even way out your colorant and get exact weight ratios.. I can tell you from many years of experience that slight variations in formula are completely indistinguishable.. being precise is a good thing but I definitely do not think anyone needs to go to that sort of trouble, measure out equal amounts and add equal amount of drops and scoops of flake. Will save a lot of time when efficiency becomes important.

Do you put salt in your baits? Does the dead on plastic black bucket need salt in order to sink? If you add salt to the black bucket will it sink too fast?

I add it when the plastic looks right haha..I rarely temp anymore, but lower is better,

[@aarondavis8224]

What happens if you mix your color and flake into the plastic before you heat it in the microwave? It just seems like it would be easy to mix in the color when the plastic is liquid and not have to stir or mess with a hot cup of plastic when mixing colors.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

It works well that way however you cannot see your formula when the plastic is raw.. I like to add it to cooked plastic so I can see the color building process and not add too much

[@aarondavis8224]

@@WorldsWorstFishing So if I had a formula that I was familiar with and added it to the cold plastic then heated it up I would get the same result? Also would the quality of the plastic be better if it went through one less microwave heat cycle? If you were trying to create a new color I can see where heating it first would be an advantage though.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

@@aarondavis8224 in my opinion your color turns out better when added to cooked plastic, that is less exposure the glitter has to the microwave. I see absolutely no advantages to adding your color before cooking.
