want to start making own baits

[Zach G]

What do i need to get started? I would like to start making my own jigs and some plastics. Thanks

jigs you will need a melting pot and the desired mold..........go to

http://www.doitmolds.com and you can see what is available

as for a pot, a Lee production pot is a good deal

you will also need some sort of cutters for trimming the excess lead..........I just used a cheap pair of side cutters and ground them flat on the flat side so they were thin

Once you find the mold make sure you get a good quality hook. I just started this week matter of fact, making jig heads for me and some friends. The hardest part, for me, is powder painting them. It's been a little tricky getting the paint just right and not to thick. It just takes some tweeking and it will be right. Good luck!
