Making A Soft Plastic Fishing Lure. The Sushi Whip Tail Grub 

the mould materials costs about £2, then the plastisol costs about £.06 per lure. But the initial outlay can be pricey as the platisol and colours are normally sold in quantity. I make things for fun not for pirce as i find there is always someone somewhere selling lures cheaper than i could hope to make them. I suppose also i get to make what i want not what the tackle shop stops. Thanks for asking

Couldn't you just buy an _actual_ soft plastic and then mold that? Or better yet, buy them. They probably cost less and work better then the ones you're making there.

I have just posted a link in the video description to a list of tools, materials and suppliers i used and some alternatives, hope this helps Cheers, Paul Adams

Man, the action on that is better than some store boughts

i thought it was great. i also appreciate that it didn't include a bad soundtrack like the majority of youtube videos

i will be doing some soft plastic videos but i am working on some other lures at the moment. Cheers

Take 1 day to make one lure or spend 5 cents hard choice but this is alot cooler awesome video

You can buy all stuff for moulding here: www.raubfischfreund.de/gummifische-giessen/

i like the idea of it taking two years you have obvouisly seen my work i have a tendency to drag things out although i have never been one for short cuts please email me paulpadam@aol.com

OK. Sculpting. Mold making. And fishing. I LIKE it. Cheers from Tampa Florida.

it is a 700 watt, the cheapest in the supermarket, i normally use it on full power in short blasts. Thanks

Man... all this for a fishing lure. If it wasn't for the video title then I would have thought your were making bomb lol !

i can pull it from the mold after 3mins and it olny needs ten minutes in the water to fully cool. I think to start out it can be pricey but the sheer volume of baits that can be made make it worth while Cheers

it's nice.. but it's to much work :P

Здравствуйте, слов нет, отличная работа. Все ясно и легко понять. Спасибо за видео.

Awful lot of stupid comments by people with zero imagination. I know several people that made a nice amount of money doing this. In fact I have made a few bucks myself. You can experiment making different designs and colors. There are endless combinations. After awhile the experimenting was as much fun as using them. I made mine the lazy way by cutting a few pieces of other worms and glueing them. None looked near a good as this grub. You did a fantastic job on this. Making an injection machine for soft plastic isn't really that hard. I think you could sell a bunch of these. You could put a straight tail on it or shrink it or stretch it out and make a worm. Lots of things you could do with your talent. Great job good luck. Then these guys with no ambition can buy your stuff when they go to Walmart.

Thank you. Great job done here. But my choice is way easier and cheaper - just go and buy them, they costs few cents everywhere around.

Cool video but I think I will just buy my lures

if you look in the description there is a link to a pdf that gives some more information and also places to buy like Makelure and Jann's Netcraft. Cheers and good luck

I have just poured the silicone it takes a day to cure, then i'll give it a test if everything is ok i will contact you Monday through ebay cheers and post it out.

Morning Dieter, I have used this with lead, it is not recommended and the molds deteriorate quickly, there is high temperature version which gets up to lead melt temp around 320 deg c but i have never used it. Thinking of jig heads or spinnerbaits?

i have a big box of things that don't work or don't work how i would like, if i don't mess things up once or twice a day then something is wrong. I have ten plastic lures which all look the the same but the internal weight is a different position, nine of them swim like concrete blocks the tenth does a wiggle. I find it hard to get that across in the videos, a lot of these lures i am attempting for the first time like beetle lures and most after testing over and over again. thanks

I am really impressed with the techniques you used to make this, I can use this to make other things as well. You made it look very easy and the end product works great! Good job.

pero no te as dado cuenta que te as gastado mas de 30 euros en hacerlo cuando lo puedes comprar por 35 centimos? no entiendo ,una cosa esque se haga con materiales reciclados para sin no gastar dinero pero esto es una locura

i just looked that up ,thanks that's pretty cool, this is why every time i add milk to my cup of tea it goes everywhere, next time my wife moans at me for making a mess i will just say it is not my fault despite the fact that i m a messy slob, this time it is down to the Kaye Effect. Is there an effect that makes underpants when thrown fall short of the dirty wash bag, i guessing this could be called the Adams effect. Cheers

the body is just over half which means the hook stands really proud which i find is better for hook ups with pike. Thanks

e-mail address is in the video description above

Man that could catch a ten pound bass the action is insane 🖒

same here, found your video by accident, great stuff.

you can texas rig them, carolina rig them, jig head, use them on spinnerbaits, on buzz baits, cut them down and mount them on spinners and jerkbaits and glide baits and spoons not forgetting the old drop shot rig. Cheers

I don't understand why i make fishing lures, sometime i make fresh Pasta and i have no idea why i do that when there are bags and bags of it at the local supermarket, but i don't worry about it cheers

dental technician doesn't sound too bad, i have learnt some stuff in jobs i have really hated, i mean really hated cheers

i don't, i think i enjoy making the lures and the videos and then fishing too much to get into all that, any designs i make i post links to as pdf's

I'm interested to know what effect the flat side of the grub has. I suppose the only way to really make it round would be an injection mould?

Thank you for sharing. Great vid, looks like a fun project.

i have no idea as i don't buy fishing lures but make them for fun, i always think you can find something cheaper if you look hard enough.

cheers, but think yourself lucky i work from home and my boss randomly makes me do the dishes when i am trying to get something done, and then for no reason she expects me to go out and get milk when we have a fridge full of the the stuff. thanks

i have made of few molds out of rtv silicone before, but i would say less than twenty over the last couple of years. Cheers

it is designed for the soft plastics and i but it from my soft plastics supplier, lure factors

Looks like fun to kill time but why put so much effort into making a lure that you can buy for one or two dollars a pound ?

polymer clay called, Sculpey there is a link to a pdf in the description below the video which gives list of tools and materials Cheers

i am sorry but i do not understand

cool, thanks

the mould is for sushi whip tails not jig heads, have i got that right?

Oh cool, it's like Creepy Crawlers, but better.

Way cool. Very impressive video.

ola costa ria de fazer este grubs a qui no BRASIL, pois ja tenho a forma mas nao cocegui este liquido pastoso para fazer o grubs, tens como me passar o nome

................your creativity never ceases to amaze me , Paul ! This mold material , ...would it hold up against temperatures of molten lead up to 265 degrees centigrade ? Cheers , Dieter

This looks like fun and you can probably save some money in the long run. Also its nice being able to make custom colors without having to buy whole packs. How long do the molds last? after that initial mold making process all you need is the plastic and coloring, maybe some glitter if you wanna get fancy. That action looks nice.

I just love those negative comments... "But you can buy one for 6c". We fish from our own shed built boat. Your time and effort making the lures and filming the process is appreciated. Inspires me to realise more of my own ideas. +1

if you are interested i could make you one for about £10

This is craft. Craft brings satisfaction for its own sake. There is joy in making these things with your own hands; and fishing would be even more of a pleasure using lures you created yourself. Thanks for sharing, Paul.

no sorry, i am am out of the selling game

Did this as a kid of sorts with a Creepy Crawlers toy set that I owned. I actually had some luck with the fly and centipede, but they didn't hold up all that well. After one or two catches the lures would be all but demolished. Still I remember being happy back then because it was something that I made.

i have given up making promises it seams to conflict with making videos, i will get round to building a surface walker but i cannot say when, it is not something i have ever made so i will have to do a bit of testing first.

if you look in the description for the video above there is link to pdf with a list of all the tools, materials and some suppliers. thanks

good luck with that project.

I had thought that I wasted 9 years as a dental technician. How unbelievably wrong I was. Thanks for the slap in the face.

i was fishing last night and caught a pike, a couple of guys who where passing ask me where i got lures from and i said, I made them myself, then i thought that is cool. cheers

Greetings from langkawi island malaysia..Great Video..Good Information..

I'd understand reasons for making that lure by someone who lives in Russian Siberia, where fishing tackles supply is limited and hugely overpriced, but why bother living in any western country, with all those online and offline stores, competitive prices and free delivery?

hey paul i like your videos and was thinking if you could make a soft plastic shrimp tutorial and probably a squid one too sorry for asking for all of this but its much better when you catch fish with your own lures specially in the florida backwaters

hi, could you do us all a BIG favor? if possible maybe put a list of items involved in the description or in a comment, itd be really helpful, maybe even a link to an online store if theres one you use a lot or maybe recommend for the plastics and what not

Could you get the gelliton and the soft plastic at Hobby lobby?

Brother where I can buy to making my favorite lures?

Hi, love watching your vids, inspired me to make some if my own lures, far more enjoyable fishing with something you made yourself.. If I may ask a question though, I have several soft lures that I gave purchased over time, what is the best way to store soft lures, ive read a light coating of silicone spray then wrapped in grease proof paper keeps them soft and subtle, or is this just overkill and just throw them in my tackle box, cheers

That was a video worth watching. Awesome process - cool art form. Thanks.

Met de la music !!! Pour tes vidéo

pilfer away that is what the internet is for, oh yeh and watching cats dance. Cheers

*Heavy breathing*

Don't worry, i used the google translator. the program translated wrong, i want know , what power of the microwave is in power maximum or minimum? Understood? Thanks

You do all that work and on the first cast you get hung up and loose it. Lol

I will subscribe and like

Thanks! Another superb video. To say I'm amazed does not begin to describe it.

I have seen a lot of folks cloning baits with a similar process. I wonder if this could work with slabtail jigs like a crappie style bait. They have a very fine tail. If I thought I could make those, then I would definitely want to make my own jigs. I'm just not sure about this process with that type of tail. The tail is very fine. They might need a milled mold to make it work.

I'm really impressed. Thank you for your precious video.

I use these a lot,they do work,but I will stick to buying them lol,I tried and failed to catch with your curly tail rubber gloves.fishing from the beach I use white or green curly tail mini grubs,tipped off with a bit of bait

Can you put the lure smelly stuff in it ro make them fish sented

EXCELENTE, GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR TUS CONOCIMIENTOS.

better moving than a fabric made ones

Wow great job man I could not do this you have some amazing skills

The action on that lure is amazing! Great work!

Nice work but theyre much easier to buy

ที่ประเทศผมขาย ตัวล่ะ 10 บาท คัฟ ขายถูกมากๆ ง่ายกว่ากันเยอะ

It's not worth it, for £5 I can get a whole bag of them and the quality is factory made. BTW, are you Chinese?

That looks delicious. I'm a fish.

Long process to making this for me,... Better buying it at shop?,.... Sorry.

yea paul for the sushi whip tail , i was meaning just making them then putting on the jig heads i already have ,

This is cool but it seems like a lot less work and cheaper to just buy the ones your local tackle store makes

Чувак,ты молодец! Классное видео! Один вопрос. Сколько стоит упаковка мягких приманок? Столько времени потратил на изготовление,лучше на рыбалку бы сходил.

Instead of using the modeling clay and super glue. Use a hot melt glue gun.

Do you think liquid latex would work for the mould and the lure? Or maybe plaster paris mould and liquid latex lure?

maaate, you know.... there is nothing better in the world then watching your videos on a flat screen, on the couch, after a great day of work where your boss hates you for being alive aaaand sipping on a nice scottish single malt - - PERFECTION .a

I mean, you would just buy a single plastic lure and just mold that. then make thousands on duplicates.

Thanks , Paul , ......yeah , might come in useful some day . Some years ago the chief writer of a local angling magazine(I know him in person) used some special silicone molding clay used by dental surgeons for getting jaw prints for braces or false teeth . He used a life minnow as the master to cast leaden jigging spoons(pirks) . Tried to make my own , but failed due to wrong material , borrowed his mold and cast a few dozens , no problems about heat , real hot perch killers, these pirks !

подскажите мне пожалуйста на каком сайте вы заказывали силикон Soft Plastic

I have no idea what it is you're making and what it's for, but i certainly like your technique!
