Looking for a mold

[mepperson]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a specific mold and can't find it anywhere. I want a mold for a 3/4 to 1 inch grub without the tail. I would prefer a 2 piece to inject so that there are no flat sides to the grub, but will settle for a one piece. I have found one on Lurecraft but it is a one piece and I can't tell by the pic if it is the one I want so I am a little reluctant to order it. I want to make the bodies similar to the ones found on bluegill and redear baits like the Gillcracker, Shelton Jigs, and the Brim Reaper. I know that people can make homemade molds from various materials but I wanted to try and find one first. Any ideas? Any info would be appreciated.

I think that would be easy to make like you want it, worse come to worse you can get a curly tail mold and fill what you don't want in with epoxy or something

look at bearsplastics, look at the stick mold TIPS. it may fit the bill for what your looking for

Yeah, I have thought of that and will keep it in mind. Thanks.

I tried a google search on bearplastics and couldn't find a site. Could you give a feller a link.

Bears Baits

Thanks Crappieday, those might work depending on the diameter at the top. They are the closest thing I have found. I sent them a message asking for more details and started an account just in case I order any items from them.

I know they have different sizes but I am not sure the diameter. I would think the tip for the smallest worm would work. Bear will be able to let you know.

crappieday, those tube molds, how do those things work? The skirt mandrel and nose insert. It says something about mixing and matching and all. I thought the pieces all went into the same mold but if they are different sizes they cant. Can you give an explanation on the set up of those and how you use one? Of course they do not have a 1 inch like I want but might do the 1 and 3/4. I plan on dipping some like you showed me also

And this may sound like a crazy question but are those tubes from that type of mold hollow or solid. I would think the word tube would mean hollow but I dont know lol

[guest01]

the 1 3/4 mold is the skirt length, actual tube size is 3.5 inches. you can use the different inserts for different length skirts. and you can make them from a solid tube to just a hardnose type tube by adjusting the mandrel
