I've been waiting for you to release a video or atleast a detail instruction set on making your mini crank bait.  I'd like to get started making resin baits, but if you recall I only got into making soft plastics because of all the help you offered back in the day on Yuma Bass Man. I'm semi retired now, and I don't mind experimenting a little, but I still have obligations.  I don't really have the time to figure it all out from scratch.  I know I sound like one of those needy newbies who wants every detail spoon fed, but that's not really what I am asking.  I just want a good start on it.

That's fair.  I have been wanting to do a start to finish video or video series on making the mini crank, but I'm working on a flat side version of the mini crank, and I was waiting until I had that dialed in before jumping on it. 

So, when you do start making resin baits will you tell us what resin is your favorite and why?  LOL.

To be honest, if you show me how to get good results I'm just going to use whatever you use?
