Pop Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Story of my life, but better late than never. I believe the previous owner of Lure craft who sold all hand poured molds knew how to do the pre-rigged worms. He sold specially made molds to accommodate the worms with clips or o rings to hold the internal line. Maybe he passed on the information to the current owner. Good Luck, Pop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassstump Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) thanks POP"S, got it down pat right now ….at less a method that works for me …using a 2 pour method right now makes it little slow but gave me a chance to make 2 color laminate colors. I don't think I've ever seen pre rigged worms with pours like this. There's alot have spots and different color tails ect. made about 50 now and almost ready to stop re-melting fluks and worms to get my plastic and get a jug of virgin plastic and dyes …. sure would like to see a professional mold that would hold the rig while you poured .but for now my 3 home made resin molds are pretty good.

bassstump Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 update = still making these worms along with many other plastic lures, including a hybid craw that was a zoom viber-craw body and Rage craw pinchers, several shaky head type worms and a 12 inch night worm.. All thanks to being able to throw ideas off the wall with this site's members Now thanks to "TU" newest habit ROD Repairs. Jumped in and refurbishing my 4 ALX casting rods that needed eye replacements, got all of them done. THAT WAS EASY! Next I got the itch to build a rod from the bare blank. Seeing how it would be my !st one, I did not want it to cost an arm and leg if it didnot work out...lol. I remembered a new "All Star" 7ft MH spinning rod that I had never used. So completely stripping it down to a bare blank and made a casting rod out of it. That was a JOB but now it is a usable tool. Finished it last week and proud to say went fishing today and caught a few nice spotted bass a lake Norman ......thanks again guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Kind of late but what I did was make a silicone mold from hard masters I created . At both ends of the cavity I cut slits with a razor knife for the rigged hook harness line to slip through to hold the hooks at the proper height in the mold before pouring . I rotate the hooks to one side of the mold to allow for pouring the plastic into the cavity without hitting the hooks . I made up a little fixture that sits on the tabletop beside the mold and holds a piece of brass rod horizontally slightly above the mold at hook level and after pouring I move the rod sideways against the hooks to center the hooks in the worm while the plastic cools . I heat the plastic in a pyrex cup before pouring . I fould some other dacron line made by "Gudebrod" called "meat master " that works but the flyreel backing seems to be much easier to find . Some historical context : The Deaver Fishfinder worm is said to be the inspiration for Jack Chansellor's "Do Nothing" worm " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
