pics of what has occupied my time l
« on: 09/11/13 21:22 UTC »
The back stories is there is an antique shrimp bait our family fished on the gulf and caught a ton of specs and reds on but due to line breaks and sharp teeth over the years we lost all but a few. Well we stopped fishing them several years ago and hung them on the just look at board. I couldn't stand it anymore, missed throwing them with dad and hearing the stories of fishing them from years gone by.
 Well a little alumalite silicone, resin and one of the last soldiers they are back. So bring on the teeth, bull reds and stories :D these are a rough draft but I hope dad likes them.

An undertaking of that nature will certainly keep a guy busy. Nice looking shrimps.

That is a cool looking bait. How do you like working with alumalite product's. Have watched all there video's but have too many irons in the fire to add something else.   mike 8)

Thanks guys, alumalite products are awesome . You can get the mold kit at hobby lobby it has everything you need. Google hobby lobby coupons and lots for time you can find 40% off coupons.
  One tip is caney creek 2x works GREAT for resin dye. I use the clear cast crystal clear alot for baits and molds. The 3 minute cure resin is some really cool stuff but use caution this stuff goes hand and hand with bait making so it is very addicting
