southeasttexas Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I had a machinist cut this 2 Piece mold for me a while back. I gave him a hand drawing of the lure and he took care of the rest. Whatcha think? One lure is 4" and the other is 5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southeasttexas Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 He made another hybrid mold too. Both molds have milled air releases and the second is for a hybrid lure. My friend designed the lure to have a wire body laid inside the mold, then the plastic is injected. He is getting the process down and is having fun with it. Here is a 9" Suspending lure I made to catch some Speckled Trout(Sea). This fish is 24" long. It was made from a Resin mold the night before fishing. I've caught some good redfish with this type of lure also. It has a wire body molded inside. I'm hoping to get an aluminum mold of the simular 9" lure but 7" long. Looks like an injured Mullet or Ballyhoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARick Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Any more news on this and the process you mentioned? I've just moved to FL and also fish for Spec Trout.. I've had some pretty good success but not the size you have caught.. mostly high teens and a couple low 20's. I'd be interested to hear any news. Thanks, Rick He made another hybrid mold too.
