Yeah I tried doing it ghetto style by making silicone caulk less viscous with xylene and making molds of clay masters I made. It def worked, but not well, and was a huge pita! So I splurged on some stuff from make lure.com

Cpr my biggest fluke 28.5" on a bucktail I made from scratch using a do-it mold and powder paint. The materials aren't cheap, but I've def made much more bucktails than its all worth.

Most of the cooler looking stuff I've done like weird buzz baits and stuff doesn't catch any fish haha.

That's awesome! Catching fish on your own lures is definitely something I want to try!

Hit the river again today before the heat started beating me up and had some more luck on my lure! Connected with a few fish but while in range of my makeshift tripod, was able to get a small one on vid. Just a cell phone camera so bear with me.
