Swimbait molds
 
Does anyone know where I can find molds for 5-7'' swimbaits? Been doing a little research online and know a couple people who pour their own baits . It's something that I do not mind paying for startup and can't see time being an issue either. My friend has a mill and lathe in garage and I would someday like to make custom molds, but until then I need a starter mold/kit.
Thanks
Also, were heading out to DP kelp tomorrow if anyone is interested in meeting there.

What times are you planning on fishing DP tomorrow? I was thinking about heading out if I'm not too lazy.

Back when I used to pour I had a lot of Lure Craft molds. Not sure what they have for swimbait molds, but worth a check.

Make your own molds. I pour all of my own swim baits. All you need is a metal loaf pan and boat resin. The jump online and order your plastic and dyes....

Ive got a ton of soft plastics stuff I posted a while back. There are a bunch of swimbait molds of all types, some plastic, softner, colors, glitters, etc. Looking to sell whole lot for like 150.00. It is a really good amount of stuff. All RTV molds and Calhoun plastics. Even have a microwave and other misc stuff.

If you are at all interested in the lot or even looking through it let me know. My once lure making shop has been re-purposed for more useful things in this stage of my life.

And like Ed said, Lurecraft makes nice RTV molds. Most of mine are from there and another supplier we used when I did this for a living.

If you still have it in about a week, I'm interested in the lot.

If you are looking for OP mold I would go lurecraft for the RTV type or basstackle for the aluminum ones. If you want injection style go basstackle.. I tried adding a pic of some of mine that I make but just get a big red X
