I have a bunch of soft plastic baits from the 80's that I want to re-pour and "update" to at least resemble some of the the plastic baits used today. May sound crazy to some, but I am retired and looking for a hobby for those days when I can't get to the lake. Does anyone have any molds or supplies to sell? I am especially interested in molds for Sinkos and Jig/Spinnerbait trailers. Thanks.

Barlow's Tackle has molds and other products for pouring.
In the last 4-5 years they also started selling product from "Do-It" including a licensed Yamamoto Senko Injection mold.

Give Jeff @ Fringe Tackle a call, I know he's getting ready to liquidate his mold stock. I've had him make me 5" sticks and Craw trailers, all of his molds are aluminum and hand pour only.
Can't believe he's hanging it up. 254-239-9697

Keith C how did you make out finding molds? I have quite a few aluminum molds I'll never use again if interested.
I'm sure like most of us you have tons of soft plastics collecting dust.
Suggestion: cut part of one lure and melt it slightly using a candle flame. Do the same to another part from a different lure and join the two. You'd be surprised the number of unique shapes and actions.

Examples:
Spike tails from two grub bodies were joined. This one was wacky-rigged on a light jig. They catch everything.

I added Joker grub tails to a segment of French Fry stick worm:

A claw from a craw worm was added to the same body as above: [Linked Image]

Another is to cut off the curl tail off a curl tail grub and round the end with a lighter: It amazed me how many fish I caught on it! [Linked Image]
