I saw an article where a guy made a spinnerbait mold out of rock hard water putty!!! What do you guys think??? I am just wondering if the molten lead would damage the mold over time???

Yes the mold will eventually crack. For production pouring and quality spinnerbaits it's best to have a mold custom made if you don't like any of the stock molds available

cadman,
Is that true for POP and bondo molds, too?

I just got through making a jig mold out of silicone rtv and it works great. I got it from sunbelt materials, the guy there Jim is very helpful. I used Rhodorosil v340. Takes some time but pours nice.
