What are yalls opinion on making your own soft plastics.. Cheaper? Also seems like it'd be something fun to do... I am thinking about starting to make my own, but as being a 15 year old and have yet to find a summer job... I have to be cheap on things also... So, I guess I'm asking is making your own plastics the cheaper way out or what.. any help or opinion is appreciated

After your initial investment, it is cheaper. You can also melt down used worms to recycle em

Glad to see that the young fellas in Paris are doing something constructive.

If you are going to get into pouring plastic, read the do's & dont's section of Underground tackle. You have to be careful pouring, the plastic pours at 325 to around 400 degrees & you need to be ventalated. There's much more to to it, please do some research before you start melting any plastic. I've been doing it for around 30 years. Never been burned.
