      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.

              In the first picture you posted, the bait in the middle looks a lot like a Kelly Wiggler, and I can dig it! Can you post pictures of the process? Baits look professional!

                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

                  They look good, especially for hand poured. Good job.

                      When you make them yourself they can be as hard or soft as you like. Harder has less action though.You buy different grades of Plastisol and can add hardened or softener to it. I tried making some molds with plaster of paris and failed badly. I'm going to try silicone next.

                          The silicone works GREAT, to make open pour molds.

                          What color/brand is the "red" colorant you used in the first picture and does it bleed onto the white??

                            It's from Dead On Plastics. It doesn't bleed at all. Their colors are very thick, it doesn't take a lot. I use open pour silicone now but I'd like to make some different molds.

                                Yep. My brother fishes with some lures, the color is called Chicken Shart. That’s the sole reason he fishes with it is because the name and he swears by it. Even if you outfish him with another color. Lol
