My grandfather taught me how to fish, and he made his own bait. Fond memories. Anyways he made this twister bait that had a 1 inch body and a 2-3 inch tail that was paper thin. I still have a few.
I am looking for those molds.
Does anyone have any idias were I can look?
I would ask him but he has passed away some time ago.
When I do a search, IE and Opera make me do circles.
Thanks

Well, I know that there are some things that once were and aren't being made anymore. It is hard to tell without seeing a photo of it. Couldn't you make your own mold?

Nickledimed, I have no idea but if you use one of the following products you could probably mold them into the mold you want to make, no? Please remember this is no recommendation at all. I never ever used any products of the following company, and it serves only as an example

I think you can do that yourself with help of the materials such as shown in the above link, no? That is, if nobody knows where to find those molds anymore.

It looks very interesting btw

I can't find it But if you have found exactly what you are looking for that's great! Will you now start molding those baits soon?

Yes, as soon as I come up with about 100 dollars for 12 molds, the injector, plastic and coloring.
I will also need to get the molds for the hooks.
Ive got anough lead to last me a lifetime so at least that part is taken care of.
