First hard plastic bait.

Post by cjtoad » Sat Jan 12, 2013 6:06 pm

First try making a Salmo slider copy out of Alumilite White hard plastic. I'm not a very good painter so I just used a powder coat finish in the mold. Baits would look a little better if I sanded them and painted them but I really like the pearl finish so I don't want to sand them. Poured it in two parts, the top half has a bunch of mircobubbles so it won't roll. Almost as addictive as supertuning and rod building, I'm in trouble.
