This is the bait I am talking about. I will try the salt and see if that helps to firm it up. I am glad I asked on here before I went and started using the hardener. Thanks a lot guys!

It is an injection mold. I have not made any of those with salt added yet. I will try the salt and see if that helps. Thanks again guys!

The reason I want to use the hardener is because I have a fluke type bait that is a little too soft for my liking. I wanted to firm it up a bit. So it sounds like a little goes a long way. Thank you for the responses!

I have a question for those that pour plastics. How much hardener do you add to your plastics? I know it is probably a personal preference to the hardness of the bait, but will a little do it or does it need to be mixed 50/50 to be effective? Just curious. I will do some playing around to see how much of a difference it makes. Start with a little and move on from there. I know you can always add, but you cannot take out. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Those look awesome! Great job!

Thank you for everyone's response. I am going to try out these color combos. This is a great article. Thanks for sharing! I am going to have to browse that site a little more. Thanks again everyone!

Thanks! Be sure to post pics!

I need some help from the experts out there. As you know from my previous posts, I started tying hair jigs. I placed an order from Jann's and it came today. I ordered deer tails and powder paint. My question is which color combinations do you think would work best from the colors listed below: Deer Tail Colors: Yellow Red Orange Flo Lime Kelly Green Blue Natural Chartreuse Powder paint: Black Flame Red White Brown I have some ideas in my head of some patterns, but appreciate any other suggestions. Obviously pairing more than one hair color per jig is what I am after. Thanks in advance for your input.

Those look great!

Congrats on the nice slab!

Happy Birthday Glenn!!!

Great job! Looks like a ton of fun.

I always rig mine tail up. Might have to start trying tail down though.

Thank you!

Thank you! I did paint the heads as well. I bought a container of the powder paint. I used a lighter to heat the jighead for a few seconds, swirled it in the powder, tapped off the excess powder and it became glossy after a few seconds. They turned out nice.
