Finesse worm with a larger diameter head?

Anybody know who has a mold that is similar in diameter to R.I. Flirt 4.95. Except I need it in a 6" worm. I was just looking at Del-Mart and he has a flippin worm that might work, just wondering what the diameter is? Anyone pouring these or something similar? Thanks!

I've got a couple of Del's Flippin' worms molds. The head is 3/8" and it tapers down to 1/4".

I am still working on some "big head" worms. The finesse worm is great but the head busts out when used on mushroom jigheads. Might make something more like a goby.

Hard to drill through the ice to field test anything

Take a look at Dels 7 1/2" straight tail worm #16453 (i own one). Yes I know you want it in a 6 inch, but plastic can be cut. I find his 6" Diamond Tail worm #16450 (like a trick worm) to be more of a match to the flirt worm than the flipping worm.

I am gueesing your looking for a shakey head type worm?
Since I been fishing that alot I find the same problem that there is no meat in the worm to use the screw heads or thread through the jig.

The 7 1/2" worm that wirehatred mentioned is what I have been suing for 3 years now on jigs and I love it, however I would like a 3"-6" worm also with a big head and skinny tail for finesse fishing.
we should be done restocking everything in the next few days and I can work on the newer worms. I think I made the perfect for shaky head style fishing. The tail is about the thickness of a robo worm and 2 of the styles i have are a little bit thinner.
They will be avail in both 2 piece and one piece molds.

The 5" diamond tail works pretty good if you are using jigs arouns 3/8" -1/4" anything bigger will cause the head to split.

I like these worms alot for the action , so I programmed a few new styles off based on this design. the only thing different is the head is thicker and will hold a 1/2 jig head.

Yep, its for the shakey head. Seems that there would be a pretty high demand for a specific shakey head mold that would come in varying lengths with a meatier head.
