tigerfire Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I like the use of the tinsel. Good looking baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Not quite the same Dave. He's using living rubber/silicone and crystal flash. They will deform with the heat. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured it out too. Just tried it on a piece of jelflex, it worked a treat. I agree though, this is Fishlickers idea and he should have the opportunity to post it up.

fishlicker Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ok here it is,it is an open pour paddle tail grub mold you simply cut crystal flash/tinsel to desired length and tie it off with thread like making a fly.lay it in the mold and pour.for the collars look close an o ring and skip cut silicone.For legs use a big needle cut silicone and put one end in needle eye push through and you got it.Not all silicone material is the same some tares very easy i buy from lure components.com. It was time consuming at first but after some practice it goes pretty good.(now go make em and enjoy) Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tool that Kalin's puts out called a worm threader that is can be used for this. Another way is to tie a knot in the center of the silicone strip and lay it across the open mold after half of the mold is poured; then finish the pour. The knot will stop the legs from pulling through the bait. It's a very labour intensive bait but you can create some very interesting lures. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I thought the leg threading was obvious, but my idea for installing the tail was completely different, but it works. The tail is fitted after pouring the grub. Tools - A length of SS wire, folded in half forming a narrow loop. Threaded needle. CA glue. Method – heat the loop. Push into the grub about 0.25”. From the top, push the needle and thread through the wire loop. Retract the wire loop, pulling with it a loop of thread. Remove the wire. Insert the tinsel/tail material through the thread loop and pull back into the grub. Remove the thread and apply a small drop of CA glue at the base of the tail.
