But as you well know they sell aluminum molds that do the same thing far faster and in different shapes and sizes depending on the mold:


Plus, I can always cut off the thin tail and attach it to a thin flat body using a candle flame. Thin flat bodies and tails used with very slow retrieves provide the action I prefer and especially under a float.
