Darn if I don't come away with all sorts of ideas after watching your videos. Thanks for all of your work on these, and keep the great content coming. Gotta be my favorite channel.
Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
I made some injection molds with bondo. You can make any bait but can even substitute the wood for just a regular soft plastic bait and can recreate senkos, and craws. And if you get it really good you can then make more expensive baits like Strike King and Googan Baits, but make them your own colors.
Just a simple trick to avoid getting bubbles in the mold. When pouring the silicone in the box. Hold the silicone high above the box so it creates a thin pour line. Not so high it blows all over. This give the bubbles away to escape. Then you can use the sander or low pressure air to blow on the top of the pour silicone. Great Job !
this is very helpful. there were hundreds of people at the river targeting walleye and they leave their soft plastics behind all the time. now i know what to do with my 5 gallon bucket full of used curly tail grubs
Awesome video. Back in the day I had all the stuff to make plastics. Had about 10 or more molds. And I sold all of it. Wish I still had it all. Thanks for the video
Know what? I found your channel from this video. I clicked subscribe and the hit the bell just from the accent alone! Never change brother! I love it already! 😂
Listen to your elders. They have so much knowledge that's being lost to history. What I would give to go back and listen to my great grandpa and my grandpa's wisdom. Both farmers and fishermen.
AWESOME , I've used a microwave for awhile now BUT that's over . The lead trick is what I was missing with a hot plate !! Thanks for the info and the DIY !!!!!!
Sir I love your channel can't get enough of it. I sure wish i could get some of them baits your friend was making he knew what he was talking about. But I would love to some how get some of them baits if I could get would buy them if he would want to sell any. Me and my three kids live on a lake an over the spring somebody stole all of are fishing stuff so have been getting stuff here and there. And I love your channel cause you help with diy and it is fun and plus I can get my kids involved so thanks. Sir thanks and appreciate all you do keep up the great job.
I appreciate buddy I really do . Send me an Email. My address is in the about section at the top of the channel page . I'll ask him but I know he normally won't sell em . But maybe if I ask him lol
@@FishinNStuff ok sir I sure will and again thanks for all your great money saving DIY. Can't wait to see what new DIY you have coming up for us in 2021.
As a teen, my uncle dad taught how to use old worms and a mould. I dobt know where the mould went, but i have very often wanted to make a mould and make worms n jigs since. Thanks!
This might be nice. Thanks for the quick tutorial on how to make silicon molds. I have a few projects that will come in handy for. recycling old lures I dont really need to do yet but this will be interesting if I want to make my own one day.
Great videos! AND....I thought there was only one person that had that crazy accent of yours until we went over to your friends house! Love it! Keep those videos a rollin!
The open face mold idea was a life saver for me. Except I'm going to ty making the mold with some old floral clay I have sitting around the house. To melt my old soft plastic I was going to go with the hot plate until I keep hearing how easy it was to burn up the plastic. That's also before you showed the lead trick. Instead a couple days ago I hunted a few thrift shops until I found what I was looking for. An coffee pot warmer like my grandparents used to have. It doesn't reach as hot of temperature as a hot plate on it's lowest setting. I put a small pot, old plastics and a glass lid (to see the melting progress & block fumes) on the warmer. Works perfectly! I gave it a little stir about every 10min and left it on the warmer for almost 2 hrs to see if it would burn up. Nope, never did. For 2 hrs that warmer keep the plastic in a liquid state with just a stir once and awhile. I actually ate dinner(30-40min) without messing with it till I finnished. I'm telling you, if you can find an old coffee pot warmer somewhere, grab it! You'll never use that hot plate again.
Great DIY, Your buddy is great with making his baits. This is a great DIY and I will make my own baits with this great DIY. Keep these great DIY’s coming.🐟🐟
Loved your video, and I do fish way more soft plastics than ever before! I should really try to make a couple of molds, had no idea how to do that , sure looks awesome to me! Thank you for sharing!
You can buy open pour molds too . I think Amazon sells em . But I like designing my own stuff lol . What I really like about em is you can find old soft plastic all kinds of place really cheap that they don't sell melt em down and re purpose em into baits you will use
@@FishinNStuff hahaha! It was a sound I heard on Tiktok and wanted to use it somehow, somewhere. 🤣 Did you get to see my diy transducer mount video? I always wanted to show you it since I made it lol.
Good stuff. Your finish on your first one was flat because you didn't`t seal your cedar plug. Sealing your cedar plug with a clear lacquer will give the finish of your plastic rubber I shinny coat. Also when you start your carving, always have a centre line on your block of wood first ,then draw your desired body shape. A centre line on your initial block of wood will keep your carving streamline to glide better in the water. Cheers from Canada.
I always put my silicones an resins in a vacume chamber to draw out the bubbles. I got an old HVAC 3 cfm vac pump from a garage sale cheap. Harbor Freight has them too.
@@FishinNStuff Have you seen his air plane lure. LMBO. That one didn't work. LOL. I could kick myself. Im not a smoker but back in the 1980s Marburo cigarettes came out with a special pack that had a camel 🐫 diving lure attached to the pack. I bet that sucker is worth some money now sold to the right person. And to top it off it looked darn good. I think it would have caught some fish. Marlin baits does have a intertaining channel. Take care brother and you and your family stay well and be blessed! 😷🙏
I use the clay you bake to make the lure blank I want. I bake it till hard. I push that into a block of clay and then bake that. Pour your plastic( I melt old rubber worms) and let cool. If you spray cooking spray in mold it releases easier.
I like this need to try to make me a mold but the music I have to turn volume down because of sleeping family the back up when you talk . I all your DIY`s
I love watching bait making, cool seeing you do a video on it and the Vienna can and lead is a good alternative for my wife killing me for using the brand new microwave! haha
Heres an idea for you. Use gelatin in the molds. Maybe flavor it with chicken blood to mimic chicken livers. Maybe make a broth from boiling crawfish shells. Put freezer burned meat or fish in a blender and add that to some gelatin with some onion powder. Possibles are endless with disposable gelatin baits
This is cool I remember as a kid they had kits to make your own grubs n worms better yet you can recycle worn out plastics. I wonder if you can do this with like plastic bottles hummmm.
What you could also try is putting a leadhead jig upside down in the mold and burry the eye and the top of the hook into mold and pour your plastic then your jig will be made inside your lure
Dang Keith that's pretty cool. I tell you I sure learned a few things on that video. Zoom plastic. And I figured out I can't use the microwave. And using the lead in a can. That dude knows his stuff and the way you built the mold a Heck of a lot better than I made mine. So my stuff will go in the trash can and I'll start over 😆. Thanks for sharing. That's another Great Video.
When you finish making your box for the silicon, take some modeling clay and rub it in all the corners and joints on the inside of your box. No more leaking silicon when you pour it.
Your buddy making crappie rubber baits. I am guessing that was a store bought crappie mold. Is that correct because if you crappie fish a lot it would probably be worth the money and effort. Those Bobby Garland packs aren’t cheap! Thanks as always for your content!!!!
Can you please put links in the description, so we know where to buy some of these specific items? I've been trying to find the brand, and the exact color/material, for the underwear. Cotton or cotton/polyester blend? Would brown work ok? ;-) Another awesome video! Thanks!
Amazing BROTHER! How do you do it to come up with all these diy's😎. I've been dying to try & make my own soft plastics. Love the old school touch as well. Had to seek out the knowledge on some basics i see 😉. Thanks for sharing 💪👊👍🎣😎

The real question is, what flavor Vienna sausage can do you use? I think the hot and spicy one would allow you to catch the most fish right?
I agrer 100% man lol

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
