Another Grubby Story ........

I've been trying for some time to make two colour Lures in particular one colour for the body and one for the tail. I've seen the special syringes from the US with twin spouts but this never really fit the bill for what I was after and also looked rather cumbersome. However, after a bit of thought, experimenting programming and machining of a new mould(s) I finally think I've managed what I'm after and, I think, but time will tell, it is now under control and repeatable with any colours we wish .............
Tony and I have managed twin colours by each using a different colour in the same mould but never able to repeat it with any accuracy, this looks much better ....

tadah .... the 2 colour Slinky Grub ........

Things really have moved up a notch from the early days of plaster of paris and even beyond the silicon/balsa moulds...the standard of output is really erring on commercial quality (which is awesome considering this is coming out of a garage!)

Begs the question...would anyone pay to buy either a mould or lures if you rolled it out? or would you even consider it?? :cool::question::yltype:

Bet theirs some fish caught on the slinky lure range this season.

You'll have to start a thread and put pics of fish caught.

Sure they'd sell no bother.

Can we ask what price the molds will be and where to get the rubbery stuff:o 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 :)

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
