Tyler B Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was looking for a bobby garland baby shad mold or something very similar. I was wondering were you could get one or if a company would make one? I make my own molds but I'm thinking I want to start injecting. I know how much pouring these things are so it's mainly just a hobby so you don't have to tell me it's expensive. I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Oh and I don't think the mold is patented. Other companies have copied it and I looked it up and couldn't find a patent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 If it doesn't have to be an injection mold, Lure Craft makes a nice open-pour, 4 cavity shad mold. Looks just like the Garland shad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Jacob's stinger mold is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have made plaster molds of the bait. 1 and 2 piece. I made the two piece mold where I pour into the bellies and it goes to the tail. It didn't work even with hot plastic. Do you think it would work if I made a mold where I poured through the tail side and the plastic went down into the belly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Why not make an injection plaster mold.? If you can make a 2 piece plaster mold, making an injection mold is not much harder. Search mold making in the forum sections, there are a lot of information about it., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I don't think that the plastic would go into the very small tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Again, why the reason for an injection mold? These baits are hardly rounded to begin with. An open pour would be flatter than normal, but hardly noticeable, not to mention you can SEE the plastic filling the cavity. Not trying to start an injection war here, but I think too many are getting wrapped up in these high dollar molds. Sometimes keeping it simple works best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I wasn't talking about injection earlier. I have a one piece mold and it works fine but I'm looking for something more time efficient. Right now it can take like 3-4 batches before I get a really good bait. I was thinking a top hand pour style mold to make the bait perfect every time. I tried one from belly to tail but I could never get the plastic all the way down. I tried vents and coking plastic longer but nothing worked. I was thinking of a top pour mold that went from tail to belly. Do you think it would work?

alsworms Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 what mold is this?? I couldn't find it on their website, but I bet they still have it if you give them a call. 260-829-1274. It looks just like the 3" Bass Assassin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 We'll I found this on lurecraft and I think it looks very close. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Don't see why that wouldn't work. What's the price on that mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Its a little spendy at 100 but I would probably save up for it or wait to see if it went on sale. It is only 6 cavities though too, but I don't mind that very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Wow.....that's actually a good price for a 6-cavity injection mold.......even with a 3 inch bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Did you ever check out the stinger mold from Jacobs. It is 10 cavity and not very expensive. I bought one and it shoots very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 We'll I think it's 12 cavity by looking at the picture so they either had a typo or you get a different mold. I did look at Jacobs and I like it also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look at Jacobs and I like it also Unless my old eyes are deceiving me (and that could be very likely - lol), you are looking at the top and bottom of the molds. They are placed together, so that would be 6 cavities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler B Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yes the top and bottom. There are 6 cavities on each side on each half meaning 12 cavities. The top half has 6 on each side. If you count the amount on each half of the mold it is 12. I could be wrong andi tried to explain it the best I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
