Benton86 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 What's up guys? I'm looking for a injection mold that is as close to the Berkley powerbait worms like the graphic I attached. I made a POP mold a few years ago but prefer injection molds. So if anyone has any experience with any molds that get me as close to one of these worms and don't mind sharing with me I appreciate it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Basstackle makes a ribbon tail worm like that, the body is probably a bit thicker than a Berkely Power Worm though. Delmart makes a nice ribbon tail worm mold and Do It makes a couple sizes also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Linnell Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I made a 10", but you can't have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Why don't you make an injection pop mold? Like Roger Linnell did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 How long do those PoP molds last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made countless PoP molds that lasted several years, provided they were coated from time to time. I used Minwax Polyurethane, but some guys have different preferences. Once the baits started getting a little sticky, I knew it was time to coat them. Usually let them sit for 48 hours and they were good to go. Oh yeah.......and don't drop them. I've done that too.......more than I care to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "almost" dropped an aluminum mold on the garage floor.... I think my PaceMaker went into overdrive mode when that happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 The closest I've found are the old Lake Side Molds worm. The top is from a Lake Side mold & the bottom is a Berkley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they're dropped on a garage floor, lights out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect an aluminum mold might bend if dropped and I have no desire to find out if it's true or not by personal experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make mine from Ultra-Cal, much harder than POP, then glue a wooden frame around it for protection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
