I love this forum. I often peak at the Art in here.
Anyways, I was inspired by Juhas' UBOATS soft plastic bait. Was gonna order some but then I decided to try my hand at my own baits. Got some help from another soft Muskie bait builder - not sure if he is on here.

I have just finished molding two paddle tail swim shad baits(10") that will be cast into Plaster of Paris tomorrow. I have done this with bass drop shots and they turned out great - nice and shiny and smooth as I coated the plaster in thinned glue. Hoping these turn out.

Gonna melt some old baits to make a Frankenstein test run. Will post pictures eventually if they turn out. Hopefully gonna try my hand at Bulldawg style bait using Silicon next.
