Smooth-on for swimbaits

Recommended Posts

I would suggest you contact the company and discuss this with them.  I have never heard of this material being used, but I have heard some years ago of people trying the following from Smooth-on.

You should do a search on TU and see what you can find.  Hover your mouse over ACTIVITY at the top right of this screen.  On the drop down menu, click on search at the bottom.  Once you enter Smooth-On or smooth-cast 305 you should be able to get results.  Check out feather lite as well.

You can also check out Makelure.com which is a sub-site of Alumilite.  Alumilite and Smooth-on have similar materials.  Obviously Makelure.com is more focused on lure making and I know that their Alumilite White is often used, but it is heavier then water.  Often used is a shell of the White and their 610 foam as a core, or Alumifoam which is the density of Cedar.  You might look into what Smooth-On has as well.

I will give you a link to their how to videos.

I make swimbaits using resin, so it is very realistic.  The key is getting the right densities, the right balance, just like making lure with timber.  Resin is far more consistent, but it is a learning curve like working with any new material.
