Be looking out for em on EBay

Can we ask what price the molds will be and where to get the rubbery stuff to in them?

The rubbery stuff is called plastisol and comes as a milky liquid which must be heated in a pan or microwave and then injected into the mould.
Mostly comes from US or Australia but there is a company in UK called Lure Factors which will be worth a google.

As for the mould, I'm still making/modifying for myself but when I get it the way I want and get a few made up front I might well look at putting up for sale, not sure what price as they take an endless amount of "hobby" time to produce so will probably let ebay set the price by auction, but we'll see. I want to see them catch a few fish as well

cheers

ever tried just using one of the many varities of sealant you can buy, always have to take a nice rubbery bit out the nozzle each time I don't use a full one

Aye Alan, the first ones I made (flatties) were standard silicone sealant in a plaster of paris mould it took overnight to set though but I did manage a few

yep it does take a while to set no good for mass production you would need loads of moulds
