Outside of Plastisol, pigment, glitter, scent, worm oil and a mold you will need the following equipment: a microwave to heat the liquid Plastisol, a glass-measuring cup to heat the Plastisol (do not use plastic as it will crack), metal mixing spoons (do not use wood, they add moisture and create bubbles), leather gloves, a respirator, safety goggles, and a well ventilated workspace. To get started with pouring your own plastics you’ll need some supplies and safety equipment. Through my quest of pouring my own plastics, I’d like to thank my buddy, Gabe Ravizza of Gravity Tackle (creator of the 13.5-inch GT Eel) for the help he has given me along the way. For me, there is a great sense of pride in catching a big fish on something I’ve made myself. There are plenty of great soft plastics available on the market, but hand-pouring soft plastics allows you to connect with your fishing on a deeper level. It has allowed me to get exactly what I was looking for out of a soft plastic. I began pouring my own soft plastics for use in the surf, kayak and by boat several years ago. The top bait is unrigged, the next two are mounted on JoeBaggs Tackle SPJ’s, the purple and the two-toned purple/gold are made by Gravity Tackle and mounted on an Owner Beast hook and homemade swimbait head, and the bottom one is mounted on a Hogy Swimbait head.įrom crafting molds, to blending unique custom colors, pouring soft plastics is a rewarding way to pass the winter months.
