Alright so i’m getting back into pouring soon and I want make it a full-time business so I need to know how many 5” senkos I can make with a quart of plastic, a gallon, and so on. Just to get a general idea if how much I should charge for my baits. When I start up, I am going to just get another quart so I absolutely need to know how much a that makes. Thanks.

With my mold, 26 per cup.

Just remember if you are starting a business you need to do all the tax work and pay an excise tax. You also have to pay into medicare and all that good stuff as you are now employed. To make a profit you need to buy in the 5 gal bucket or 55gal drum. Also figure salt, colorant, glitter, worm oil, scent, labels, and bags into your prices. To make a profit you need to be selling 15 for $4 at the very very least, and that is for 5 gal prices. Make sure you keep record of all sales so you can back up your tax report to the IRS if you get audited. And you WILL be fined and/or jailed if you do not pay taxes smile
