From what I can gather in a nutshell:

Its a simple but tedious process of dipping a rod of the appropriate diameter for the bait you want into hot plastic.

You dip the rod in the plastic then let it hang and cool, when it is cool you dip it again let it cool.

You then dip it several more times but not all the way to where you went the first two time to fill out the body. When completed you pop the plastic off of the rod and then cut the skirt bottom (the first two dips)
