Even if the predator misses with the first attack, a taste extraction forces him to return and finish his work.

Do yourself

Some anglers to not bother about the choice made silicone lures by hand. This gives scope for the imagination, besides saving money.

Buy fishing lures silicone for the production of our almost impossible. Of course, you can order it abroad, but on transfer prices make this idea financially impractical. Therefore, the domestic craftsmen made lures mostly of old, torn or not proven "silikonok".

In order to produce silicone bait with your hands, you need to have a form, but rather several. To make them need a conventional stucco itself "silikonka" we will "clone". You can not "clone", but to create a completely new bait, blind her from clay and give it the look you want. But if you have enough skulptorskih skills, proven dispense nozzle. Take a small pot (carton, cans and so on. D.) And fill it in a pre-kneaded to a consistency of thick cream stucco. The prototype of our future bait smeared with Vaseline, cream or any oil and place it in the uncured gypsum, burying it so that there can be seen only the upper part. We give our form to solidify, and then retrieve the bait.

Old "silikonki" cut into small pieces, put them in a porcelain pot (cup, bowl) and send in the microwave for a few minutes until the silicon is melted. It is important to constantly check his condition, because when overheated it will lose its color. When silicon is melted, it is necessary to carefully pour into us to make the form, filling it to the brim. Waiting for cooling "silikonki", remove it from the plaster, taking care not to damage it.

All superfluous (rags and zaplavy silicone) must be cut. Future bait must be lubricated with silicone grease, then you can go to her ordeal.
