Thanks,
I think I've cleared out Hobby Lobby and Michael's in a 10 mile radius of their alumilite silicone kits for making molds. Just made a different beaver bait and working on a paddle tail version of the globed stick baits.

I got a buddy in mckinney with a 3d printer that could probably print whatever you needed. If you still are in need of one.

Then was worms have some serious potential!!!!
I'd like to see some quality molds produce to fine tuned versions of these.

Thanks, that's the next step.
Getting a custom aluminum mold made of an original prototype isn't cheap.
There is a cheaper middle ground with alumilite Vac 50.
For now, I figure the fish don't mind the imperfections from hand pouring rtv silicone molds.

I'd like to see you perfect and produce them in mass. I see a ton of potential. If there is a way you could pitch this to a major manufacturer without being ripped off....that would be great.

I appreciate it. There's a few prototypes I'm currently building that look better than what I've done so far.
The next steps will include improving my plastic formula
Gary Yamamoto never patented the senko--you can buy the exact aluminum mold (without the senko or 'GY" stamp on it) very cheap; but it's his plastic formula that has the real magic.

Quick correction, he did patent it, the mold is sold under a license by GYCB for personal use only. One could sell a stick bait, but they would have to build their own molds from a unique source... The Bic pen GY used, a chopstick I am looking at, etc.

I can't wait to get my hands on some of these! These really look like innovative baits! I'm super stoked!
