    I used to pour plastics 10 years ago, i stopped because there was so many good people who could do it for a reasonable price. 100 crappie plastics of one color will last me a couple years at least, no sense in owning $1500 worth of equipment to sit and collect dust while i use $50 worth of plastics a year. Now i just pick a guy that does good work and place an order for what i need, haven't been disappointed yet.

    I down sized house back in 2017 and in doing so went from 4 bed with study and 3 car to just 3 bed and 2 car. In doing so I really don’t have anywhere to pour anymore. I’ve tried but really hard to as I don’t have the space. I mostly just make jigheads and hand ties now but even at that it is hard to with space I have. I’ll get back into it one day just not now. I do know a lot of people have migrated to Facebook groups and do less forums.

    Where I live now I didn’t have any space to do my plastics the garage whisker full of power tools, and other stuff that we have to have to do work around the place so I went out and bought a shed for about 10,000 may be a little bit more than that and then I had to wire it and I put a ceiling with overhead space in it also and then a sheet rocked it myself so I got done with the building I probably had about another 4 to 5000 into it I’m not saying that everybody can do that I’m just saying that if you need space you can go get all those little buildings.

    I have 12x16 woodworking shop in the backyard (another one of many hobbies). It is chalked full of tools and it's been around 3 years since I have built anything. I have thought about carving out a little space for my bait making adventures but since I do not sell them I have no idea how often I would use it.

    My building is a 12 x 8 not nearly enough room it’s pretty jampacked as you could see in the pictures but we seem to manage to get by and I really enjoy it. It’s a place to go and relax. I even put a TV in mine and I get Roker.

    That’s awesome Bob. Wish I had a man cave…lol. I can’t do another building without having trees cut and they want an arm and leg to cut them.

    Oh, I know all about the trees. We cut down four trees cost us 1500 and I still like to cut down a lot more but can’t afford it.

    I forgot to mention I downsized yards from 1.25 acres to can mow my new yard in 30 minutes. Lol. Seriously my backyard is so small you couldn’t fit a shed in it without it touching the fence and house. I hate my backyard. Looking at getting some property one day and build a shop to store boat and make bait. Then eventually build a house on it. Somewhere close to a lake with great crappie fishing.

    Hey Doc, move down to Hemphill Texas Toledo band is waiting for you I would’ve loved to had a shop building 20 x 20 or 40 x 40 so I can fill that up.

    Still pouring for myself but family and work obligations have really diminished my time to log in to forums like I used to. Have not purchased any bait making supplies this year so just not cranking them out like i used to.
