Making your own Soft Plastics

[orbea63]

I have been having some fun. Firstly making my own Soft Plastic moulds, then injecting my own recepies, then going out and doing the R&D....lol. Havent caught a Bream yet....but still early days. Flathead however have taking a liking to these grubs. The colour of this grub is now known as FHG...(Flathead Green...lol). NEXT mission....Bream on my own plastics, going out tomorrow

Thanks mate, its great fun Just a heads up for anyone wanting to have a go at this. Make sure you read the MSDS sheets for the product you are using and wear the appropriate protective equipment. Thanks to Crusty for pointing this out and making sure we stay safe while we all enjoy our fishing addiction

Thanks Donga, it was very satisfying.....next mission is to catch Bream on them. Made them in a few different colours and patterns. If you like I can send you some to try out. If interested PM me your address and I will post them to you.
I am only land based so a bit limited but I really enjoy the time I get to go wet a line I keep telling the Mrs thats it all research and development....lol

Nice work. If your ever looking for more plastic let me know as I have about 20 liters left over. Make sure you wear a vapour mask and try and ventilate the air

Great looking grubs mate. The tails look nice and soft. Bream down south would love them.

Thanks Madeye, I do all this in a well ventilated area and wear all the appropriate PPE. What is the plastic you have left over as I only have about 5 litres left...

Thanks mate, I make them in both 2" and 2.5" I am considering other sizes but I mainly target bream hence the reason I have gone with these sizes.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on some today. Will get given then a thrash on the murray Sunday. Can't reduce the size on my phone to post up but they do look very good.
