200amp service to the house will be great. Its actually cheaper in the long run on the power bill. I am about to drop 200amp service into my basement. That way I can put as many outlets as I want for all the different things we have to power.

I use my entire basement as a work shop. Its great. I have plenty of space to do the plastic and lead and crank bait stuff. Built the work benches myself and just keep adding as I go.

I have used several different plastics as well. I have found that Lure Works plast works best for me. I have tried Cals, MF, Chemonics, Do-it, and I still like the Lure Works better.

No I did it all myself. Its through 3Dcart. It was a template. I choose those colors because it was the only template that mached my color set up.

If you are going to just sell at flea markets then dont worry about it. If you start a website and all that then you will need to get a tax ID number with the IRS and the you will need your state and local tax numbers. Then be prepaired to file quarterly taxes. 10% tax through the fed gov on all fishing stuff. Then depending on your state, you will have to set the sells tax for that state, then hand it over every quarter. You can make more money at flea markets or fishing expos, then you will from on line.

What plastic are you using? Bassin hit it on the head, sounds like your plastic isnt hot enough in a few spots or there is moisture in your mold. Be sure to wipe them down before you use them. The give them a brushing with worm oil. Hope this helps.

I shoot in my basement. I was in the Garage but my boat got in the way. Now that I am in the basement, it's way better. less hummidity and way cooler. I have a window above my work bench that I will open up and turn the fan on. It pulls it all out the window. I have never had any issues as far as smell or fumes getting to the upstairs.

When taking your pictures. Go outside on a sunny/slightly overcast day. This will allow your colors to "POP" more. I have some photos on my site that I need to change. Some are dark and the rest I shot outside. Best of luck to you.

Hey redzone, check out my website www.biglewers.com Check out the baits and select different colors. The pictures change with the click of a color.

I use CCM bubble gum, its a little light for my taste so I add some hot pink and its pretty close to whats out on the market already.

Mike, the clearasol is awesome. I love that stuff. I got some and man it stays as clear as water and it retains heat very well. Goes on clear and no bubbles what so ever. LW has done a fantastic job with that clear coat.

I use the pourasol med. Cooks clear as can be.

Basstackle made one for awhile, they dont anymore. It was just to exspensive for them to keep making it. It was a mold with a rod that went in it. Pretty sure Bears had one too. Maybe you can find someone selling one.
