I'm thinking about pouring some plastics which I've never done. I thought I would start with Senkos and keep it simple. This will be a learning project with my grandsons. Originally, I thought I might use some Bass Pro cards but I don't really see a good selection there. I see some starter kits like the ones from Do-It and other places. Not sure if there is a better way to go?! Any thoughts? Advice?

I don't use enough of them to justify it but it would be cool when I was a kid we made creepy crawlers so I guess I have dabbled in it a little.  |

I have been wanting to try it but just no extra time or fun funds for it. It can get expensive buying the molds. This site will keep you busy reading / learning how to do it! www.tackleunderground.com/ |

When I was little I remember my grandpa throwing away his home-made worm molds. They looked like the old, straight Creme worms, but with a flat side. I guess that the commercial worms had gotten cheap enough that it was not worth his time to pour his own anymore.
Sure would like to have those all molds now just for decoration.

When I was a kid we did out own butchering. Best worm I have ever used was the skin or rind off homemade bacon. Cut it 3-4 inches long and a double hooked spinning rig and catch fish. They would hit it as soon as it hit the water and the scent of brown sugar cure stayed in the water to draw more in. It was so tough you could catch a bucket full on one rind.
