I got into making my own baits largely because NLBN’s limited release color cash grabs pissed me off lol. Now we can make whatever color we want and the whole family enjoys it. Plus, it’s super rewarding to catch fish on baits you’ve made yourself.
@@adamw5360 what did you use as your mold making product if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve used alumilite mold maker 2 times already and the product is trash. The lure cavities will not dry
I also commented that on the nlbn Facebook and someone from the company snapped at me with some bs "this is our business model". All I said was the limited release was getting old.
what's the cost efficiency of the silicone vs market value? I've started making my own lures, and im realizing we've been getting ripped off for too long. Thanks for your time, cheers from Ontario.
@mochachinolatte4397 it takes the initial investment. Once you get going, you can definitely save $. You can also go overboard, tho.Aluminum molds are costly, but you'll get more ROI the more you use em. I can get around 300 baits from 1 gallon of plastisol, depending on size. So if they're $ 1 each at the store, that's a lot of moolah. Thanks for watching!!
@@fishinnj when you said your not a professional bait maker and seeing how yours came out I was very surprised how easy you was able to make em again thanks for sharing
Im trying this exact method, but when I pull the lures out of the mold they are super jelly and soft and can just pull right apart. Im even making sure the plastisol is 350. Do u have any solutions?
@andrewweaver4814 if you don't mix the plastisol well before use, it will settle and have had baits come out squishy. Bait plastics from Amazon works, Lureworks also is good. Be sure it's mixed well, is all I can think. Or maybe a bad batch of plastisol. Thanks for watching!!
@ddpgaming2684 i order online(linked in description)but started with craft store silicone(hobby lobby, Michaels). It was cheaper to buy in bulk, but it's the most expensive part of the process. Thanks for watching!
@DismanZayy Yes! You can order different softness/hardness plastics, and a softener to customize action. But it's more a hobby than to save $. Thanks for watching!
@@fishinnjyou’re welcome and thank you. I just did my first mold. Used alumilite rubber. The inner part of the mold (where you would pour plastisol) is still wet and not setting after a whole day. Do you think it was because my nlbn lures were oily?
@enrique-uz8qx It's hard to say why that is happening. It could be the oils on the baits, but I've once had experience with bad silicone that never fully cured. Sounds like a reaction between the baits and silicone tho,, the edges of the silicone are cured just around the cavity isn't. If you try again clean the baits with warm soapy water and dry before molding. Thanks and good luck!
@ thank you. I think it was the baits or also that I demolded right after 40 minutes or so. Lol Gonna let it sit to see if it dries if not I got another kit. Will wash and dry baits and definitely let it sit til next day to remold. Thanks for your help.
@@fishinnjwell finally got a good mold out of player of Paris. 2 attempts so far and both times I’ve gotten air bubbles only in the thin part towards tail. I give up! Lol
ok, at first i like the idea but later, the initial investment is too big, the Mold Max™ 29Nv is $150 plus shipping and the POURASOL for lures is $34.50 so we are talking about $185 to start, so with that money i can buy 26 packs of nlbn lures, so basic you are paying $150 for the nlbm lure, so i am not sure now
@usermiamiusa hey I never said it was cost effective. I like the ability to make custom colors they don't always have. You can also use a less expensive silicone, Alumilte is 30$. If you don't have time or don't want to spend the money, simply go buy packs of baits. Have a great day, thanks for watching.
Can we please make a list of everything you used to make these lures ! Please make a list I watched this video 5 times already I just need to make a list and head to the store!
Thanks for watching!! I think this is everything, Hot glue gun and glue sticks Corrugated plastic board Exacto knife Super glue SmoothOn MoldMaxNV29 silicone Or any 2 part, craft store silicone like Alumilte will work. Lureworks plastisol,colorant,flake Dedicated Microwave Ames Temperature gun Digital scale Stir sticks for silicone Pyrex measuring cups Butter knives for stirring plastic And baits of coarse. Most expensive is the silicone and plastisol color and flake. There is options for silicone on Amazon also. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
@HENDRIXKX Hmm... any super glue should work, I used cheap Harbor Freight glue. That's odd the GG wouldn't stick. Did it stick to the bait and not the base, cause you may need a different base or a different glue. Idk let me know what you find out. Thanks for watching!!

cash grab? they dont make practical colors limited edition lmao, just dont buy them. Theyre mainly collectables
