OK, so I have played with making soft lures by moulding something which already exists. Feels like I am ripping someone off so I wanted to try and make my own lure from scratch based on what I want. Long and thin with ribbed bits and a paddle tail maybe??
I reckon the best way to do this would be to try and make my own blank from wood or whatever other material.
I am planning to use this as a blank to make a silicone mould for soft plastics so if it's wood then I would need to coat it before pouring the silicone so it doesn't absorb it.
anyone got any ideas or advice what material would be good to use? I have no skill, just me, an imagination and a dremel. What type of wood would be best if wood? could a lump of plastic/perspex block be better??
Help!!
