Hello, I have been thinking about getting into making my own soft plastics. Mostly for crappie and panfish and ice fishing. However, here is my questions. 1. Is there a book I can buy that is basically an idiots guide too making plastic lures?? LOL 2. In your opinoin which companies or company has the best starter kits for a new guy? 3. Is it cheaper to pour your own?? Thanks, I realize I probably have 10,000 more questions to come!! Thank You, Art
