Stick Bait Mold Help

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum, and have only been injecting baits for a few months now. My 1st molds were a 4" and a 5" stick bait mold. While they produce very nice baits, I have friends that I make baits for who want something closer to a yammie's size. The 4" injection mold is too thin, and has what appears to be a hook slot . The 5" is 1/4" shorter than the yammie (which are actually 5 1/4" as I have just noticed). Does anybody know which company's injection molds would actually be closest in size to GYCB 4" and 5", in both length and width?

Thank you,

Sean

Bears 5" is the right thickness but only 4 7/8" long

Bears 5.25 is right length but slightly skinnier.

Monte,

If your buds are that particular about fractions of an inch then they need help. Trust me, the fish don't care.

I was just stating the actual measurments so the OP could make their decision.

I could care less, but customers do. I f they want a Senko knockoff, they want it just like the original. 3/8" is quite a difference in that case.

The 5.25 appears softer because of the length to width ration. Customers wamt that softer action.

As for a guy who wants a 100% match i always say: "Buy the bait, make a mold!"

It is not that complicated and as long as you don't sell them :wink: , this is the best you can do.

Designing your own bait is much more fun...

BBK, The molds I have are bears molds. I measured the 5" bait again and, as Monte stated its actually 4 7/8". And the 3/8" difference is fairly significant to my friends. I guess Del's is the way to go. Thank you all for your help.
