  2. A combination of rattlecans, hand painting, and Sharpies. You can accomplish quite a bit with those and stencils, netting, 1/8" to 1/2" masking tape. I still use rattle cans for primer and base layers especially on large baits. For some small details and touch ups, I have done a quick rattle can spray into a plastic cup to make a little pool of spray paint. Then, I use a small paint brush from Walmart to hand paint with the paint from a spray can. (30 for $2 in the crafts section). This can come in handy when you get a blemish from removing tape, a bug landing on wet spray paint, or if you drop a bait mid paint job and only get a couple of paint chips. Sometimes a screw up is savable with out starting over.

  3. I've made a lot of molds using press fit stainless dowel pins. I usually buy a several hundred to a couple thousand at a time.

  5. Brother if you're not looking to sell them, why not make a couple molds out of plaster? Pretty easy and fairly cheap to do. You might have an imperfection with one from time to time, but the fish don't seem to care :-)

  6. I am a retired police officer and I very much understand having standards. This craw worm I want to have a mold made of is a worm that I first used a good 30 years ago. I have contacted the tackle store I bought them from and they don’t sell them anymore. They were bought way back when you went in counted out as many as you wanted out of a plastic bin . This type craw worm won me my first ever check in a tournament. I have just started pouring a few soft plastic lures . I don’t sell any of my stuff but I do give some away to my grandsons
