I have it also. Poured a bunch but my boats down and haven’t fished them either. It pours really well. I don’t think I had one bad cast out of it. The mold is designed to fish a small minnow type bait using Forward Facing Sonar. It will fit completely inside the bait with the only thing exposed is the hook point\bend and the hook eye aft of the nose on the bait. It’s mostly an open water technique.

No, custom molds are not hard to have made and, I do own my share of them. But they are not cheap. A brand new Do-It mold is $56 and can ship today. A custom mold is easily $180+ and will likely take a few months to arrive. Plus the viper head still does not meet his minimum requirements that he listed in the first post. There's no keeper for a grub tail, and there's no eye sockets. Why compromise on those, and pay 4× as much money for the viper head? I sure wouldn't. There are several Do-It molds that do meet those criteria at a much better price point. Or a stock mold from Shawn Collins eBay store that while spendier will still ship within a weeks time! But, I didn't come here to argue. You're obviously stuck on this viper head being the best mold ever. It's not one I would ever use and does not meet the OP's minimum requirements. But you do you! Have a great day and good fishing to you!

But, where can a guy buy this mold? That's the part you seem to be ignoring! If the mold isn't sold anywhere then it doesn't do him any good. What good is a jig he can't get a mold for? This is a tackle making forum. One where we buy the molds and such to make things ourselves! Unless the viper head mold is sold somwhere it's NOT going to work for him!

If you can't find that post, you can always try what I and I'm pretty sure a lot of others here do. Heat up some plastisol, add softener pour some baits and keep going until you get the softness or firmness you want. Remember to write down your amounts. And keep in mind everybody may have a different idea on what a soft bait is, or a firm bait. Etc. And of course different baits call for different firmness. Good luck. I wish I had your problem of a good buy on plastisol! Hard or not.

Using concrete sealer as a wood sealer can be an unconventional yet effective solution in certain situations. Concrete sealers are designed to penetrate porous surfaces, providing protection against moisture, stains, and wear. When applied to wood, they can form a durable barrier that helps repel water and resist weathering, similar to traditional wood sealers. However, it's important to choose the right type of concrete sealer, as some may be too rigid or inflexible for the natural expansion and contraction of wood. Always test a small, inconspicuous area before full application to ensure compatibility and desired results.
