This is really cool! What kinda plastic are you filling the molds with? I don't know much about fishing lures

Thank you! Means a lot. The plastic I use is Lets resin liquid silicone. No need to be heated and cures very quickly.

Ooh neat! Does any old filament work for silicone molding? I could imagine for some it might like stick or be harder to remove

As another fisher person, I’m interested in this. This could open a whole new world for wannabe lure makers. I can see myself dabbling in this since it appears cheap and easy enough to engage in.

Yes. It definitely opens up a whole new world. With let’s resin liquid silicone you never have to worry about warping your molds as it cures at room temp so no heating required. It’s cheap, easy and worth it. Only baits I haven’t worked out yet printing are spinner baits.

You are pushing me into yet another hobby. I really want to try this! You are an evil dog!

As a fellow fisher, the best tip I can give is to start with simple shapes that mimic local baitfish in your waters - you’ll catch way more fish when your lures match the natural prey paterns.
