JJ73 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Cracking fish Hooky, good to hook up instead of them just biting the tails off those Fiish Black Minnows, good lures but blindingly expensive ! Hooky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 That's a great fish! Good work. 👍 I've always found FBM's to be THE lure for wrasse. Just gently drag it across the bottom and wait for the knock. Hooky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Agree about the FBM lures....but you get through loads of bodies as those toothy wrasse tear them to pieces [very quickly]. Hooky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I made a FBM mould and now pour my own for exactly this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FBM body is used as a buck, and RTV silicone is used for the mould itself. Once hardened, the mould retains the shape of the FBM body, so you can pour with soft plastic lure liquid of whatever hard/softness you choose to make bodies for pennies. I use the lure liquid from Lure Factors for my bodies, in Medium or Soft grade. Here are some I poured from the FBM mould I made. Shop bought lure at the top. Mine below. And showing the belly slits for the hooks. @Maverick, hope it's ok to cross-link to one of our OO articles? https://www.offshoreoutlaws.co.uk/articles.html/articles/how-to-design-and-make-soft-plastic-lure-moulds-r6/ @alun j., the FBM mould was only a one part top pour mould, rather than the two part mould in the article but the basic principles are the same. I don't have the mould with me or I'd share some pics of that too. Maverick Martin, Tarlach., Leicester Fisheagle and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks Very much. very interesting. It's been on my list of things to try for a while now but not found the time yet. I'll be trying to cut the mould with the CNC though. Maverick Martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
