@yknot thanks for getting back to me on that! I was scanning some great stuff on here but couldn't tie on the specifics on that, I'm guessing pour 90 of the resin and tip the mold? Make a partial mold then add to full? Or use a gate in the mold? I'm actually trying to make a surface resin head for a combination soft tail / through wired lure I already produce here in the states called the RonZ. So I've shaped a tail holder on the back of the lure instead of skirt ridges. But would love to pull off the colored back effect. Figured there was some type of additional pour just wasnt clear on the physics or process. ]]> Wed, 30 Mar 2016 02:39:23 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1629160&title=diy-lure-building#1629160 <![CDATA[DIY Lure Building : There is a thread in the work...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1629070&title=diy-lure-building#1629070 Author: yknot

There is a thread in the work up section that may give some more ideas also. Basically do it in two pours, pour first section, let it go off and then complete second.

Just getting into pouring some really basic resin heads. Can anyone explain to me how to get that top hat color effect? ]]> Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:09:46 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1629065&title=diy-lure-building#1629065 <![CDATA[DIY Lure Building : There are all sorts of ways to...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1513593&title=diy-lure-building#1513593 Author: Murph

There are all sorts of ways to make inserts when you are starting out. Look for suitable containers that you can use for molds at the supermarket and the $2.00 shops. All you need is something the approximate size for your lure head, you can shape it on a sander if you need to. All you'll need to do is figure out a way to form a leader hole through it or drill one once the resin has set. Once you've done that you can decorate it with whatever material you like.

Go take a look at this thread, there is over 100 pages of lure making stuff there....

When I was younger I used to paint barrel sinkers with liquid paper and just run those free with a single hook, sometimes glued/tied some shiny lolly papers onto hook. Something tells me I may have to up my game to compete with some of these lures! Good work all, love seeing ideas and results!]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:17:21 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1496462&title=diy-lure-building#1496462 <![CDATA[DIY Lure Building : Murph wrote: Here's one...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57080&PID=1471592&title=diy-lure-building#1471592 Author: leadernc

Hey RAL/Murph, (or anyone else in the know!) just looking at starting out turning some stickbaits. Have had a good read through here, one question.

I notice, Sam, your doing something a bit tidier on the front of the likes of the Haku's you have for sale at the moment. I see the poppers have a grommet, but wondering what you use on the stickbaits. I may have to front up some dollars to see the work firsthand!

I notice Murph you used what looks like wood filler to seal around the front loop/wire. Any problems with this cracking under load or is it epoxy of some sort?

Also when sealing the wood before painting, if water is getting through the hole around the wire, is this not such a big issue? Or should some attempt be made to sealing the inside hole after drilling?

Thanks in advance. And thanks everyone for all the discussion in here. Very helpful
