Post by: Weatherby on July 27, 2010, 09:02:16 PM: how many rubber worms do you go threw in a season?probably cheaper to put in a order with bass pro shops and buy a few bags of worms

you can fine tune it with how many worms your melting.

just like a guy who tie's his own flies. something about catching a fish on any home made product feels better. ;D

As far as product goes, try Del Mart, Barlows Tackle, M-F Manufacturing, Lure Craft, Bobs Tackleshack, and theres many more. Just google the names of the sites for their address. Dont expect to get rich either. Use good ventilation and dont pour 350 degree plastic on you. It will take a couple hundred dollars to get going.
