Man ... that`s sick!!! Awesome job - respect!

Every flyfishing shop should carry rabbit strips. What you`re up to - pouring them in as tails like with the Megabass softplastics?

lovely matey, lovely! -
G`day! don`t know if this is the right place for my post ... just wantes to share the url of my new lure-website. Online now: www. tarakito.net Thank you so much for all the help concerning pouring here at tu! Best regards, Ian.

hey up willie, it`s rather tiny - only about 50mm overall. cheers, Ian.

Good morning everybody, just a quick one to show my latest idea. Tarakito Comic Craw designed to be fished on a t-rig or as a trailer for European perch. Best regards, Ian.

thanks a lot guys! the biodegradable stuff i`ve seen is rather stiff and not really suited for softbaits. Except the vios stuff Megabass uses. This is absolute killer material. Does anybody have details on this stuff? Ian.
-
Del, still no PM from you - I`m still interested ;-) Has anybody heard of these guys: http://www.fslures.com ? Best regards, Ian.

hey up there! thanks for all your input - it``s highly appreciated. you`re right - my masters (made of clay) have some tiny scratches (caused by sandpaper, polishing, etc.) and therefore the baits didn`t come out shiny. i tried to cover up the master with epoxy which is a pain in the arse imho. so i tried pop molds which are much much easier to fabricate and cheaper. i think, taht i`ll stick to pop for now. cheers up, Ian.

well, i charge them sligthy more than for single colour ones. cheers, Ian.

Hi Del, thank you very much for this information! I`d really appreciate if you could PM the contact details to me. Best regards, Ian.

Hey up there, i`ve just done a little research for biodegradable plastics or simmilar products suitable for pouring softbaits but couldn`t really find any useful information. I know there are products available based on citric acid but would appreciate any more information on that subject. Tahnks a lot in advance! Cheers, Ian.

Hey there, up to now i did all my molds (at least the 1 piece ones) the following way: I started with carving a prototype out of clay, sanded this down to 1000 and then polished it with some piece of cloth. I then glued it on some piece of plastic, built 4

G`day folks, dunno if this is the right category but as a boat is somehow a fishing tool i`ll give it a try. Just finished my jon boat conversion and want to share some pictures. Please see here: http://www.blog.tarakito.net/?p=73#more-73 Cheers & Beers, Ian.

Sam, thanks a lot. I`ve allready tried to make the tail thinner which didn`t cure the problem. I don`t have the possibility to use softer pastic unfortunately. Maybe i`ll give it a try and make it longer but i don`t want to make it too long because it hooksetting abbitlities will be worse than. Best regards, Ian.
-
aaahhh ... deeper as well. ok ... i`ll give it a try at the weekend. problem now is that the paddle rather moves vertical than horizantal. we`ll see ;-) cheers, Ian.
-
Cheers Nova! So you think making the tail wider would do it? Regards, Ian.
-
Good evening everybody, just poured these new shads but the tail doesn`t show any action... What do you think - is it not wide enough (because of the very wide body)? Thank you very much! Tight lines, Ian.
-
well ... use dreamweaver to set up the main site and run a shop system based upon oscommerce. setting up os-commerce with all the right buttons, css takes some time (especially if you`re new to all that stuff) but is definitively worthwhile. cheers, Ian.

amazing bait and pour mate. didi you do the mold on your own? best regards, Ian.
-
that`s an amazing bait mate ;-) -
t-b, i make all my masters out of fimo. it`s so easy to work with. i`ve also thought about using polyester resin for the molds. it cures much quicker than rtv and is also cheaper. but i`m not sure if it`s suitable for baits with fine structures. what are your experiences on that issue? best regards, Ian.
-
thank you very much guys! @nova: pop is plaster of paris? you get this shiny results with a mold made of plaster??? wow! my trials with plasters didn`t work well. rtv works much better for me. @swampbaits: do you know something like fimo in the states? best regards, Ian.
-
thanks a lot nova! its about 80 mm long. i make my molds out of rtv, which works pretty well for me. you have some awesome lures on your website. i especially like the glossy finish of them. i guess you`re using aluminium molds, don`t you? best regards, Ian.
