are there any other sources besides do it?
Any recommendations that mimic kietechs easy shiners?
This is a great video, thank you. What ratios of salt are you using when making them?
Bruh…everyone is making soft lures these days. 😓😓😂😂
I’m planning on trying this. I found how to do it a lil bit cheaper to get started
With the price of the molds it would be very difficult to get your money back.
I need a Yamasenko 5 inch mold . I really may start melting down mine when they break and start making some
Thank you so much for posting this video with links to the products. It's exactly what I need! We just got back from our annual Minnesota trip and for the fourth year in a row, we've got a clear winner for our plastics – Kalin's Weenie Worms. Unfortunately, it seems that this product is going by the wayside. As we're coming to the end of the summer season, now is a great time to begin the process of making our own panfish plastics. The first goal is to mimic our beloved Weenie Worm!
I decided to pull the trigger and start my own fishing company…I will be bigger than 6th sense. Fantom Fishing Labs “Catch the mystery, conquer the waters”
I started making my own baits last year, there's nothing quite like catching a fish on a bait or lure you made yourself. I'm not as big a fan of do-it molds, though there's nothing really wrong with them. I prefer open-pour molds because it lets me explore options at a fraction of the price of the injection molds. I get mine mostly through FusionX (for silicone molds), Enforcer Bait Molds (aluminum, very affordable options), and of course AnglingAI for pretty affordable open-pour aluminum worm molds. The last batch I made was this morning, just a couple cups of plastisol into some swim baits & various ned rig baits. It's a fun hobby, and the up-keep on it isn't nearly as much as I was worried it would be.
I've been designing and 3D printing my own custom lures, works better than you'd expect
Is this a good starting business?
Thank you for the very concise and useful information. Doing some research with my youngest son (15), as he has a goal of making tackle and sharing his fishing journey with people. He fishes every day for several hours. If he's not doing chores or school work, he's fishing. He loves both fresh and saltwater. I figured he might as well chase that goal/dream while he is young – never know what it might turn in to.
If someone wants to get a TASTE of this world, jig-making is a good place to start…to see if you dig the concept. I’ve been tying my own jigs for a few years now and it’s great. I’ve stumbled into three or four great patterns that I know are unique to me. The nice thing is, you can go as simple or crazy as you want. You can spend $50 on some bands/skirts/tools…you can do what I ended up doing and use a fly tying vise to get super precise control of your colors and flash then install your own weed guards. Then there’s the next step beyond that, which is stuff like jig/plastic pouring. It’s kind of the ultimate within that world…but it takes an investment and a pretty significant amount of personal R&D, as it were.
Great video boss🧡
Are sinking additives imperative?
Do you cure your baits and if you do, how long and hanging ot laying flat?
Perfect presentation! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Matt if you burn the plastasaw can you reuse it
Great information. Thank you.
Yes!
There's this thing called a net that works every time.
This is cool but sad to think about all the plastics , glitters, and colorant chemicals in the bottom of our fisheries 😢
Where did you get your pricing? Do it essentials are all over the web for $50 or less. CNC start for around 80. I like your content, but unless we're looking at a huge price increase your pricing is way off.
I think rod building and soft plastic casting are going to be my 2024 hobbies.
I'm sorry but very few CNC Do-it molds cost 3-500 dollars. Just for the heads up….
Great info Matt👍
