I have used lure craft and spent about 30 dollars i think.. but now have a mold of a good swimbait and make any color i need for the water conditions and have yet to run out of plastic to make the baits with because if i dont lose the bait when it gets tore up i just melt it back down and repour it.. i have a hint for you if you decide to follow through with this though. pm me what your making and ill let you in on my little secret i use when pouring my own baits..
