Riley_22 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 What resin, and mixture (microspheres?) are you guys using your baits, I have a shad, and bull trout wood masters, I'm not trying to break the bank though. I've seen marling baits use lead shot when pouring the bait, is that standard or should i do the lead after it's cured? I can post some photos when i get home if you guys are interested.

azfisher Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Check out some of Engineered Angler's vids on Youtube. He's done some on resin ratios and how to ballast and weight placement. We all tend to do things a little different, so there's no one way that's right. I use Smooth-On products and still have a couple 5 gal buckets of Alumalite's micro balloons that I bought before they quit carrying them. Usually, lead shot goes where it wants, not where you want and makes dimples where it contacts the mold material. My .02...

danthefisherman Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Nothing is really “standard” about bait making in terms of things being right or wrong… work towards what you want from your baits and have fun experimenting how to get there! I have different resin ratios for different applications, and even this is constantly changing. Depending on what products you are using the ratios could be quite different.
