Plastics Mold

Thanks for the info. I might try the plaster of Paris Ironhead. I used to own a couple Ironheads before I got too old to ride those rough frames. Still love them!

bondo can be used to make molds. I prefer it to plaster of paris. If you use the latter, you'll have to epoxy the mold or use some other material to protect the plaster from attaching to your bait when you pull it out.

Depending on what you are willing to spend you can take the bait to a local machine shop and they can produce one out of aluminum for you.

I took your advice and went to a buddy who runs a small machine shop out of his garage, bunch of lathes, computer programmed, etc, and he was able to make me a mold. Not only that, but now we are upscaling to larger sizes as well. Initial run seems to match pretty well but we have to adjust the plastic, etc, as it is stiffer and not as much action as the original. We will keep playing with it. Thanks for all the help.
