I bought an injector off Amazon for $29. The best Plastisol I found is from Dead on Plastics. I use the saltwater blend for the ones pictured. I use a worm blend for Senko style worms I bass fish with. The molds can get expensive. I have a 4 cavity Bass Assassin style mold and a 4 cavity Senko mold from Do-It molds. They're about $38 each. The smaller paddle tails and shrimp tails are single cavity molds from Amazon that cost about $25 each. The bigger paddle tails are open pour molds from Stankx Bait Company. They cost about $21. It's kinda time consuming so you need multi cavity molds to make a living at it, and they're very expensive. I just do it to have something different than every one else. Also it's pretty cool to make a lure and outsmart a fish with it.

I'm not real good at posting pictures, sorry. Look on youtube for videos from Worlds Worst Fishing. He has a bait company and shows how to do all of it. The shrimp tail is a little bigger than a Kelley Wiggler but it was the best looking shrimp tail mold I could find. It's by - best_nj soft plastic lures. It only makes one at a time so you inject it with white, open the mold and cut the tail off. Leave it in the mold and shoot the red in. I hope this helps

What color/brand is the "red" colorant you used in the first picture and does it bleed onto the white??Last edited by REDGUN; 01-22-2020, 03:04 PM.
