BenPearson Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 IMG_3860.HEICJust finished casting my first lure, and I went all out with a 12" trout glide to target some of the big Bay Area bass (dont worry it has a plastisol tail now). Ive been playing around with resins and have liked the smooth-on 325 but wondered if anyone has tried other resins. I am tempted by the Lets Resin polyurethane resin since I can get it real cheap and was very impressed with their mold making silicon, but I couldn't find the SDS sheet with the specific gravity, etc. Has anyone had experience with it and/or highly recommends one of the more standard smooth-on or alumilite options. Im a broke graduate student so price matters a lot while I'm making tons of these to get the weighting right but I dont want to sacrifice too much quality once I start producing these for friends (and hopefully some of yall) Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPearson Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 I am also using the same master to create a big soft plastic swimbait. I finally have glued the body back together and am now looking to make the tail but am a little torn between the different styles. I instinct is to make a hammer-style square tail since it seems forgiving compared to something like a wedge tail, and is a little ode to my spotty fishing days but most of the 8' plus trout swimbaits I see use the wedge tail. Would love some input on this as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
