    Mold makers?

    Just putting this out there. Any recommendations for a mold maker that could machine a soft plastic bait? One chamber would suffice, but 4-5 would be better. Thanks guys!

    Thanks Mike. Do you know if they only offer their molds or if they will make a custom mold?

    They have made me a custom mold a while ago... Pretty sure they still do. They might offer what you want already... They have a ton.

    Have you thought of making a mold yourself. Silicone mold it then pour.

    Great. I emailed them yesterday and havent heard back yet. Ive been open pouring them for the last few years with a homemade plaster mold and its just so time consuming and hard to get right.

    Look through their web site. It may be offered already. What is it you are looking for?
