Had some time today to tinker with a prototype mold that's been in the works for the last several months - this is actually version 3, with several more versions sketched out on paper.

Making baits in the garage is a painful addiction…

Pretty. I like that ball tail Idea. How long are the baits? Those remind me of a sand eel jr.

The baits are 4.5". I can make almost any color. Laminates are tough, but can be done. Just a very slow process until I get my larger production molds in...

Chris, I can try my best. The oil can you guys are referring to is a core shot. I can't do core shots with my mold but if you find another color that is close I can match it. Color options are just about endless...
