kevin24018 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 There are several youtube videos on guys making lures out of what looks to be cushion foam and or those sponges you wash cars with. They are all in Russian so I'm not sure if the material they use absorbs water or not. Anyone have experience or know much about making lures this way?

JRammit Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 U got a link to one of those videos??... Interesting to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calin Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I think it's EVA foam. In Russia they do custom streamers or big fly poppers for Taimen, out of foam slippers. It absorbs some water baut in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Have not seen the videos, don't know what they use, but..... I have been using the following for some poppers and floating jigs. It is tough stuff, molds to any shape, and remains soft. https://www.alumilite.com/resins/flexible-foam-5-8-density/ See if this is what you are talking about. Larry Dahlberg made some diver heads out of it on one of his Hunt For Big Fish shows several years ago and that got me thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin24018 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 wow 5 year old thread hahaha, but yeah I think they were Russian videos and the foam looked like a sponge that you would wash your dishes with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Epp Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I've seen some of those videos too, unfortunately I don't speak Russian... Some of the videos almost look like they are making "flukes" or swimbaits out of dish sponges. Very interesting for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
