Green_Fingers replied to Green_Fingers's topic in TU Site Info & Updates

Great to see the photo gallery back up but what happened to the soft plastic section!!!??? Did it disapear into cyber space or are my eyes just decieving me!? Thx for the hard work revamping the site! Simon

If the scales are very pronounced/deep, then before the paint on the bait has dried completely, wipe very carefully and softly (will not work if you press down!) With pure alcohol on a small piece of sponge or foam and, in theory, you should get the desired effect! Simon

Salut Mtap! Beutiful rods, i love them! Trop style!!!!!!!!!!! Simon -
Very cool! First soft bait mouse i have seen if I am not mistaken! What did you make the master and mold from they look to be very "clean" pours! How are you going to rig it?.... so it floats (floating jig head) and fix a triple hook under the belly on a wire harness? That would make a killer pike bait! Cheers, Simon -
diemai, I think BBduc means the bait is designed to imitate a walleye (zander) in order ot catch Muski/Pike, because on his recent fishing trips the walleye he caught somtimes got attacked by big autumn pike! But I agree thats even a bit big for our European pike (excluding Sweden!) Great looking bait though, a good example of "match the hatch":teef: Cheers, Simon -
Salutations de la Suisse! Phil, there is a Swedish guy who paints his soft baits, Magnus I think his name is, just look in the gallery he recently made some really cool BIG soft baits for pike, which are painted with a scale pattern. I asked him if he got the paint in Europe as I had also been looking for it here (but gave up a while ago!), he said he could not find it in Europe either, however, had successfully ordered it from the US. Maybe its time to plan a bass fishing holiday in the USA and pick up paint and suplies whilst your there!! If you need furtehr explinations "en francais", send me an email: lemanlures@hotmail.com Cheers, Simon

New 9.5" Shadzilla Walleye Swimbait
Green_Fingers commented on Tubeman's gallery image in Soft Baits
Very impresive that's one sweet looking swimbait!!! Did you dip it in whit/pearl plastic then paint the gold colour and black scaled back? Simon -
Ahh ok Thanks Mangeboy! I thought so,I did look in europe but found nothing suitable, i think I will just stick to adding colour and glitters! Are you in North or south of Sweden? My Girlfriend is from Ostersund (sp) I have been there a couple of times to visit her familly, but have yet to go in summer and take the rods! It looks like an amazing place to fish. Cheers, Simon -
Amazing, especially the siver bream looks really realistic.... Did you find the paint for the soft plastic in europe? Cheers, Simon

Great color, love that grub very clean, is it injected or you poured the tail first then shut the mold and poured the rest? Simon -

Casting resin molds, how do i get a good shine?
Green_Fingers replied to plasticpaul's topic in Soft Plastics
Pul, I have never made/used resin molds..but make/use POP molds, i always brush a little veggie oil (not veggiemite!) into the cavities before every 2/3 pours i find this helps get shinier baits. With the baits your resin molds make, do they not get shiny when you put them in a bag with a few drops of worm oil? Nice two peice grub mold your tails come out really well! Simon -
Rastafarai plug! -
Get the frying pan out....oh no wait... its a lure! In my limited Swedish...Fahn thats good! Cheers, Simon -
They look cool, something a bit different, are they intended to imitate a baby Jack Cravally or GT type fish? If so great job!! Welome to TU by the way, not many, if any, other members from SA, I grew up in SA and have very fond memories of beach fishing along the coast at night for Cod and also catching tiger fish in the okavango delta on spinners and light tackle, what a blast when your 10 yers old!!!... a far cry from the european perch and pike fishing here!! . Would love to come back one day and chuck some home made lures to toothy SA predators.. and most of all I miss biltong!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Simon -
Superb paint scheme, and efective too by the sounds of it, I would be lucky to catch two pike over 40 inches in a year let alone a week!!! Cheers, Simon -
Beautiful handywork! Agree with rowhunter, amazing paint job! That first one is sure going to get smashed!! Simon -
Amazing work Jeep (as always!) Although, with this one I am a bit concerened that the fish will jump out of the water with fear when they see it coming, instead of attacking it:lolhuh: Simon -
Great looking baits. funny my first hard bait was ao a top water frog! Didi you hand carve the bodies from wood? Simon -
I bet those little beuties would get smashed by the european perch, must have a go at something so small. Great work! Simon
