Backlash85 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Would like to hear some thoughts on how this bait is produced. I really like the colors and style of the bait. I don't want to take anything away from this killer bait maker just trying to wrap my head around how to achieve some of these color combinations along with the type of material used to cast this style of baits. I want to grow my knowledge in order to explore more creation options and nail down a nice process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 My guess is he carves the original from wood and then has an aluminum mold made or he clear coats the original in epoxy and then makes a two part TV silicon mold. Watch Solarbaits Shudder Tail video on YouTube and u will see this process. He is an amazing craftsman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitjunkys Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Silicone mold for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Could it be a 3+ piece mold. Inject or pour one layer, add another mold piece, inject or pour that one, then connect the final piece and do the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much detail for any kind of a hand pour, and your way seems like the only way to do production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
