Thread: Looking to get some custom plastics

I am looking at getting some plastics made as I can't find what I am looking for. They are not for crappie and I know this is a crappie forum, but this is the best forum I have found with a soft plastic forum. I am hoping you guys can help point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What I am looking for is a 3 inch shad paddle tail like the chartruse one shown below and in a pink and white like the other picture below. If anyone can help point me in the right direction on where I could get some of these made it would be greatly appreciated.

Basstackle has several molds in the length, or very close, to what you want and the basic profile is real close too. The problem is that all of the molds make two sides, not a top and bottom which is preferable when making baits in two colors like what you want. Be pretty tough...lots of piece work and then injecting that second color and keeping the belly color in place would be nothing but misery.

The pink/pearl fluke bait is made in a mold that makes a top and bottom and would be no problem at all to squirt the two colors. Side to side would be a bear.

Not a lot of guys on here make bass baits but I make some I don't have a paddletail but I do have a fluke mold. It would be easy to make them. I am looking at some paddletail molds but have not pick one yet.
