C

atching bass is awesome, but the feeling

you get from catching one on a bait that

you have personally made is probably

the most rewarding feeling you can ever get!! in this issue i will show you how to

make a plastic bait from start to finish. There are

some safety procedures that you should follow

when pouring your own plastic. For additional

information, forums, pictures, recipes etc. Please

visit www.del-mart.com

There are two different ways that you can pour your own plastics. The first way is to have a mold which is an open face design where you just pour your plastic into the mold itself. The second way is to do it by injection. injection molding is a faster procedure where you basically suck up the heated plastic and shoot it directly into the mold. The basic supplies that you will need to safely and successfully make a bait can be purchased at www.del-mart.com. Start up kits can be purchased for a little under 100 dollars.
