Thank ya'll for your help.

No I have not. just learning what I need right now. I will check it out.

Starting to get into speed jigs and other jigs. First mold will be the frs-4a flutter jig. So I see some people just use powder paint. I was wondering if anyone use foil or lure tape and which one they like best. Also do you buy wire forms or make you own? If you make your own what size wire do you use.

Anybody know anything about a Goofy jig. The lure looks somewhat like a do-it swim jig mold SWM-3-A. Only the hooks are bigger and the weights are bigger. They have been getting a lot of Pompano on them. I was thinking about getting the mold.

The way I do this is add color to cold plastic, count the drops you add. heat plastic until it turns over. Add more color if needed. Add flake and stir make sure the temperature is what you want and pour. Heating flake can make a real mess of your color.

Following this. Have the some mold and tried finding black hooks for it and all I found cost 2x or more then the 635's

For some reason learning to whip finish with the tool was the hardest thing for me to learn. Can't do it by hand yet .

Consignment is a slow death. Hear that somewhere before.

I always put it in last after the plastic is ready to go.

That's the whole thing about making your own jigs, is using what hook you want in the weight you want in the color you want.

The paint does seem thicker. I still use the red and yellow. Not bad and the price is real good. You will have to stir more then the other paints. I use the white all the time. The matte black I only use if someone ask for that color.

Thank you smalljaw have used the 32746 and like it. Time to buy some VMC hooks.

Anybody tried those hook ? Was wondering how strong these are.

Tell you what, I don't like Lureworks plastic and you can see why. But their colors and powders are some of the best out there. IMO

I hate bubbles! Find a plastic that you don't have to babysit or work around it's flaws.
