Molds

[eriecaster]

I have a friend that makes his own weight fowards from a mold he had made years ago at his shop he worked at. Any way these things are fish catching machines and it's the only thing I will throw, recently his mold had broke and he has enough to last him and no one else lol. My question to you guys is do any of you know where or how I can get a mold made from an existing lure I have. I figure what better way than to network through a bunch of hard charging fisherman lol. I appreciate any tips advice and help on this matter thank you

If the lure has a cousin jig with the same head style some people alter the jig molds to a straight wire type mold so you could make your lure that way- Most mold makers that I have seen want an arm and a leg to make even a proto type. That makes them cost prohibitive, at least for me.

I'm not sure I want to pay an arm and a leg for one, I have a buddy that did just what you are talking about with a jig mold and turned it into a weight foward maybe I just need to tinker around with an already mold and make it into something close to what I'm looking for. ( but I've come to love this lure I'm currently using lol) thanks wakina

You have a pic of what it looks like ? I know someone who has a lot of old walleye lure molds.
