I want to try making my own homemade jig trailers and was wondering what material I should use to make the mold for my bait I want ot make. Also I was wondering what tools to use to cut out the shape in the mold. Also were is the best place to buy the liquid plastic and colors. Thanks

I use plaster of paris for the molds i make. Its cheap so if you dont like it just trash it and start over. You dont need to cut out anything. All you need to do is get a jig trailer you use and glue it to the bottom of one of those aluminum tins, that are like 3 for $1, and mix the plaster and pour it over the trailer. Make it at least an inch thick so it wont break as easily. Make sure to put vasaline around the tin and on the bait as a release agent. An exacto knife is always helpful for little things but trailer molds are about the easiest to make so you should be fine.

Here are a few places to get plastic and colors.

Lure craft, del mart molds, m-f manufacturing co. and also ozark tackle has good plastic and glitter but no color.

I personaly use calhouns plastic which is sold at del mart molds but all the plastics are pretty good its just preference.

Hope this helps, got any other questions just send me a pm.
