Smooth-on now offers a flexible mold compound. I imagine it's like the RTV? The product number is PMC-744. I may order it soon and give it a try. If anyone has done so, let me know how it worked.

Excellent job Matt! I would have to say that the detail ( lateral line etc... ) is done by hand with some sort of a paint marker? Very creative....now make something like that in a bluegill pattern and I'll be sending you some ca$h! GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the tips woodsac! I figured I didn't stir it long enough. I will give it another go in a few days. Will use your addvice and stir, stir, stir some more.

I didn't want to start another senko thread, so I chimed in on this one since I am also having difficulties. I poured my first attempt of a senko-alike and it failed miserably! I got a recipe that said use 7 oz. of plastic, 1 tsp. of heat stabilizer, 2 tbsp. of softner, and 3 oz. of salt which I ground finely using a coffee blender. I also added pro-cure scent and coloring. I was told to bring the mixture to 350 degree's which I did in a seperate pan. I then stirred it well and poured it into my lee production pot. I had salt at the bottom of the first pan, and more salt ganging up on the bottom of the production pot. My pours were terrible! I had oooey guey globs of plastic with salt strips in some of them? what the heck did I do wrong? Can someone please get me on the right track in making these baits. thanks.
