How much does it weight Bennie? Looks good indeed...

Hey john,
It weighs nothing at this stage, it's only a plug to make the mould from.
When done, I'd say about 100-120 grams. Finish will be the same as the casting lures but I also want to do plastic painted versions.

Sorry only noticed this now.

I don't sell my DIY stuff, sorry. I just don't have the time to mass produce the stuff. Besides, I only make a few lures and move onto something else. Right now I'm enjoying the wood plugs and poppers.

Thanks
Bennie
