Welcome to TU........interesting first post LOL.

I used to copy baits a very old fashioned way with plaster of paris, but nowadays everyone is so copyright happy that I wouldn't want to copy ANYTHING!  Even if you say it's just for personal use.  I've read this many times and that personal use usually widens over time.

Good luck

Yes, sir!

You can use an existing design as a prototype and change the dimensions or alter features of the bait so it is different from the original master. 

I made a mold years ago that started out as a zipper type worm and I added a big   ribbon style tail to it for night fishing . It is around 8-9" long and there is still nothing like it . It's a big bulky worm and works great .
