It might be the same product because we used to call it liquid steel.

Would that hold on a mould to harden it for the lead

Uncle Adi youv done it again!

as for colours, wesley rapson told me that contrasting colours in the same lure seem to work. like black and white!

seperate the colours along the lateral line if you know what i mean...

I agree with what both matt and ziyz said and I unfortunatly have packed my camera for my trip to pe but there is a very good snoek spinner colour that I think would rock in a slugo it's red black and chatruse it is so good one of my favorite colours anyway will take a pic when I get back on Monday and then will post it but that colour is going to be worth the wait to see it!

If you use a silicone mold it would.

I'm new to the soft plastic pouring thing.

So far it looks easy, well fairly easy.

The big deal is getting the molten plastic up to the right temperature and keeping it there.

I'm blessed with some very useful tools like a pyrometer for instance. The one I have is a pretty good one so monitoring the temperature should be a given.

There are pigments available in standard colours and then there is a 48 lead time for custom colours so the options are endless.

The only drawback IMO is the cost of the material. The exchange rate is a killer.

My mentor in this "soft plastic" deal is an American guy from New England who has been good enough to send me samples to copy etc.

He made a bunch of Sluggos for his friends over there and they slaughtered the Bonnies and the Shad.

He's given me the recipe for the special stuff and I just know the stuff will work here.

Check the next 6 or 7 pics taken off the east coast of the U.S.

There's no real magic here.

These simple looking dropshots work.

After all isn't that what we want.

It's nice to catch a fish off your own handmade lures.

Flipping awesome tauruck!

You should scrap those plans of moving down to Durbs we need you in CT! Else you’re a clever guy - build a tauruck clone then we can all have one...

NASA said the same thing when I left.

Thanks Florus.

Played with pouring Soft Plastics today.

Red, Speckled White, Blue and a colour I call "Burple".

Pics don't do them justice but they look cool.

The next batch of these "Kreeture Baits" should have very trick colours.

The four I did were testers. What a jol.
