Gilly lure mold

[rhahn427]

I have a Gilly lure mold.  The Gilly lure has an air pocket in the head of the lure that keeps it upright while retrieving. How do you pour the mold to get the air pocket in the lure?

... me too 

Are you talking about the Bugmolds mold?

To obtain the upright position, after the the casting, I cut the Gilly over the head, from the middle of eyes till the dorsal fin, and remove a little bit of plastic from the inside with a curved knife; I glue a little shaped piece of foam; finally I reclose the "wound" with an hot blade.

Another trick to fully fill in the cavities on its sides, is to pour these cavities before to inject the closed mold.

If you wish to see an example, let see it in the Gallery page-
