    Default Started a new hobby


    So after seeing so many great looking jigs and talking with DrNip, I decided to buy some stuff last week and try to pour my own baits. Lots to learn and still waiting on 3 molds to be made and come in, I was able to start with this mold for now. The three mistakes I have made and learned from so far has been...To hot when reheating plastic (it has changed the color or just ruined the plastic), forget to top off the spru with plastic after injected and reheating clear plastic with .35 Gold glitter and the glitter bleeding the color into the clear plastic. All have been an easy fix and after the first couple days have not made those same mistakes. This is a ton of fun and my 10 year old daughter is having a blast creating colors and she has even sold 11 packs of bait to some of her friends at school but wont share her money with me! Here are some I did Monday and Yesterday.
