Hey, checked out the site about a week ago (after learning about it from a YouTube video, then watching a couple other ones), and checked the site and forum a little bit. And I feel like this is something that I would enjoy doing. Not really about making lures. Maybe in the future. But right now I'm interested in making soft plastics. I'm also not really interested in making them for myself, I'm more interested in selling them locally (and who knows where it could take me). So I was wondering, does anyone make them, then sells them? If so, how did you get started? I already know about safety (gloves, respirator, eyewear etc.) And a bit about the hardware (molds, microwave etc)
How many baits can you make? (Lets say, using the 1 Gallon Plastisol)? (I realize different baits/molds use a different amount, so below is what I am currently looking at making)
I am currently looking at making grubs (the 2.5" K-chub), some kind of swimbait, and some tubes. I wouldn't start off with all that at once. I would start with one of them, probably the grubs (until I got the hang of). Then after I had a nice supply of them (and they were selling), then I would start making something else.
Lets start with that, then I should have a few more inquiries after that.
Thanks a bunch
