Subject: Can you make soft plastic baits?


It seems alot of guys on the board build their own baits , but I've never read about anyone pouring their own soft plastic baits. Can this be done? Does a catalog sell the supplies? Would it be cost effective? Or is winter affecting my brain here?

Thanks in advance.

Steve Worrel [sworell] gave an excelent talk on plastics at our MI meeting last nite,,showed us how to weld/melt parts from different plastic baits to create new lures..I guess he used to own the creature company I bet he has some tips
