Make Your Own Soft Bait Fishing Lures with Plastisol PVC Based Do It Molds Rubber

Make Your Own Soft Bait Fishing Lures with our soft bait lure kit. With the Soft Bait Lure Kit, you have 9 unique shapes to get you started. Mix and match heads, bodies, and tails to create the perfect lure for your angling needs. Then make a mold of your unique lure shape and cast it into a soft bait rubber. And the great part is when you are ready to make your own unique shapes, you can, just by re-melting the ImPRESSive Putty mold. Melt your mold and make as many different shaped lures as you want. 

Plastisol or soft bait, or is a polyvinyl choloride (PVC) with a large amount of plasticizer in it to make it soft. It makes nice fishing lures, but it is unhealthy for you. Do not breath the fumes as it is a carcogen.

Better, although more expensive options are available for your soft bait fishing lure. ComposiMold does not currently sell a Plastisol rubber because of the health concerns, but we have had many people ask if they can use the ImPRESSive Putty with Plastisols. The answer is yes you can. The ImPRESSive Putty allows you to make your own unique molds. Here we show you how we used Plastisol from Do It Molds (doitmolds.com) to make a custom fishing lure. The first part uses the parts from our Soft Bait Lure Kit to make the mold, but instead of using the Soft bait rubber provided with the kit, we used the Do It Mold Plasticizer.



The re-usable mold fishing lure kit comes with a 2 part soft rubber bait lure material that is mixed together and poured into the re-usable mold, but we have been asked whether it will work with the soft PVC based lure material such as the Do It Molds Soft Bait Rubber https://store.do-itmolds.com/Plastisol-and-Additives_c_306.html. The answer is yes as we shall show you in this video.

To make a soft rubber bait with the PVC Do-it mold soft rubber, the mold making process is the same.The one part plastisol material makes it easy to make your lures. Pick your shape and hot glue the components together.  Then heat the ImPRESSive Putty in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds. Then press the putty over your fishing lure shape. Let this cool or stick it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. You know the mold is ready when you press on it and it does not stay deformed. Pull out your original and you are ready to cast your rubber.

Instead of using the 2 part rubber provided in the kit, we will show you the Do It Molds PVC Based material.To use, mix the rubber and heat it until it is clear. For heating, we used a microwave, but be warned, the fumes do not seem that healthy.

Add colorants or scents at this time, mix this well while it is still hot.

Make sure the hot rubber is not steaming. Pour the hot rubber into the mold. Be sure to fill all the cavities. Because the rubber cools quickly, you want to fill the mold cavity as fast as possible. 

After the casting rubber has solidified by cooling has cool, which took about 5 minutes, pull your soft bait lure out of the mold.  There you have it. Make as many as you’d like. We made a couple more of these soft bait lures before moving on to a different shape.

And don’t forget, what makes this kit truly unique is that you can re-melt it to make new shapes any time you want. And when you’re the one catching all the trophy fish, let the other guys know that they can make their own lures. See you on the water.
