smalljaw Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 You want a swarming hornet mold, the closest you are going to get is to buy a Do-it ultra minnow mold and modify it to take a crane swivel, then you can attach a ball bearing swivel and spinner blade to that. That is the best way I believe without paying for a full on custom as the mold you want doesn't exist, at least I don't think it does.

Saugerman Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Smalljaw is right, it makes a great looking bait, and is super easy to do. I actually think it looks better than the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarverGLX Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am looking for a swimming type minnow head mold with hook eye on top , and an eye on bottom for a small spinner blade on bottom, anyone have any ideas. Above suggestions are the best option for a mold. Cheap way without a mold mod...... Select a mold u currently have that is close to a minnow mold. Select appropriate hook. Place about 1/3 of a skirt collar on the hook and position in mold so the collar of the mold won't pour (if it has a collar keeper. If not skip this) Take a peice of wire and bend the end left in the head to keep it in place when poured. Place wire in skirt collar as well. Leave straight for now. (Or skip this if you want... More later) Pour. Trim Place crane swivel over hook and keeper wire. Bend keeper wire to hook shape (see examples on a lot of new do it molds) Paint Attach bait... Fluke... Whatever. Could also leave out keeper and push swivel into fluke and then slide on bait and glue. Holds swivel straighter. Once again not nearly as good as the mold mod due to collar and staying issues with the trailer but a good quick cheap fix to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
