Melt your old plastic lures and pour them into these molds. Use a high layer count so it won't deform when you pour in the hot plastic.
Make the tail first. Fill "Tail mold - 1" and cap it with "Tail mold - 2". Some plastic should ooze out, this can be trimmed later.
Squeeze the cured tail into the slot of the body mold. 1/4" of the tail should be inside the body. Pour the hot plastic onto this part of the tail to fill the body mold. This will help adhere the 2 parts.
There are 2 different body styles.
Use Spam or veggie oil to help release the cured plastic. Takes 10 - 15 mins to cure.
Use a 4 or 5 keel weighted hook texas rigged.
Retrieve slowly just below the surface to get the body to wobble.
Retrieve a bit faster on the surface and get the tail to flutter and create a wake.
STP files are included so you can modify the molds. PLEASE SHARE.
