Durability

I gotta tell ya. The alumisol has great durability even when softener is added. I sent this to my buddy to test out for largemouth and peacock bass in South Florida. This lure caught 8 peacocks and even a few largemouth.

That's not bad at all getting around 11 fish on one soft plastic.

Great products at Alumilite.

I actually sculpted the blank for the small tapered one out of clay. http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj23 ... f318e2.jpg < You talking about these ones right? Me and Sculpy pro are getting along very well these days. That one is actually just a super simple sculpt out of clay and don't be afraid to use items in your home for texture. I took some small wooden dowels that had a line carved int he bottom for the eyes. Just smashed it into my finsished blank before baking.

I gotta save my pennies so I can buy some High Strength 3 to make some more molds for ideas I have. That's the only thing that makes lure making a pain in the butt is when you realize you have like 30 more ideas to try, but only so much mold making material... LOL

As for my chiropractor visits, I've been going a couple years now more so as a "general maintenance" thing than anything. I like to keep that spine nice and limber. I'm a full time mixed martial arts instructor on the side so I while I have insurance with my other job I plan on using it!
