Not really mate, but interested my self to start making them.

Have a look at Marlin baits on you tube and engineered angler. Also Solar baits .

Marlin baits are selling the kit and moulds for soft plastics, awesome quality.

Lure Factory on ebay is worth a look

Do you want to make the moulds or just pour the SP's using ready-made moulds?

Lure Factors (https://lurefactors.co.uk/) is what I use for the RTV for mould-making and for the SP liquid for the SP's themselves.

If you're interested in how to make moulds for pouring your own SP's I've written a step by step outline here: https://www.offshoreoutlaws.co.uk/topic/167-diy-soft-lure-making/

It’s called plastisol, google it.

Lockdown is having me google things to do, so lure making. I assume that some breathing protection is required when heating Plastisol type stuff? The health and safety aspects have always deterred me from doing any lead casting. What’s your thoughts guys?

Been googling. Advice is to wear NIOSH-approved respirator, gloves, eye protection. Some wit also added condom to be safe ?. Think with the mould prices and consumables I’m going to leave this and buy my soft lures.
