X 2 with the smelly jelly , though any oil / scent helps slide things in place . Darker tubes I use crawdad scent and for the lighter colors I use a shad or other scent . Works great on Huddlestons to slip past teeth in a bass for better hook ups . Have fun with the tubes !

Definitely Sepia !

Curious as I don't understand how connecting a blade ( making a chatterbait ) is so frowned upon but we can copy and even mold an original lure and no one seems to care . Thanks Guys

Those look great ! And all the pictures tell a nice story ... Have fun out there sir

I really like the Owner Cultiva bait and this is the last one I have (I believe they don't make them anymore ) , RC-3 tan resin and my hand cut stencils where used . Time is just around the corner , WTD . Thanks for looking -
Thank you to whoever posted here to use the powder to dust mold before pouring resin in mold . I have had zero bubbles , zero problems with my last topwater lure I'm working on that has very deep cuts for the gills .Complete pours and lure demolds so easy , will extend the life of the mold too .

Thanks Big Epp always appreciate your kind words -
Bought the painted blades and tried to color match with my Ultra Minnow mold . Hand painted heads and hand tied skirts

Welcome to TU , Seems I can see ridges or bumps , I think they are 3D printed parts

This was four colors in a package , The Loon torch was not included . The pink has seperrated and the orange is becoming seperrated to , tried shaking didn't seem to help. This stuff sets up really hard and tack free . The colors are would pop a little more if I would have put a clear coat on but it was just an example to show you Think it's a close match ,

It's UV resin , I found some at Hobby Lobby they are in little bottles and different colors , can be found in the bead section mixed in with beading tools . I will take pictures and post on Monday

I'll try to do a video , I'm still impressed with my lack of computer skills that I can even upload and post a picture , this will be a challenge for me . Thanks guys Tommy -
Thanks Big Epp ,keep up the good work ! Please note that I did not make the pike swimbait , only painted , I have made some swimbaits that have four joints . This has way to many joints for me Tommy
