I pour and haven't really had much luck remelting and pouring used baits. They tend to be a bit dirty and unless they are all exactly the same color then you get a brown/black result. It's not too bad to get started but it's not super cheap. Molds go for anywhere from $10-125 and you need a heat source (I use hot plates and a big pot from Bear's), pots or measuring cups, a well ventilated area, etc. If you start pouring from scratch then there's quite a bit more to add. Feel free to ask me if you have any specific questions. Also you can find tutorial videos at www.tackleunderground.com
