Fishing Lure Molds

how to make a plastic mold?

want to make my own plastic fishing lures mold

Not sure if you’re asking about how to make a plastic mold, or a mold for plastics.

There are various plastics that could be used for either function, but they may be different plastics.

You might want to check out this page at my site for making molds from various materials though:

And here’s something from my site on making fishing lures from polymer clay (a type of plastic), if you’re interested:

fishing lures:
…Don Lokke makes various kinds of lures from polmer clay (crankbaits, topwater lures, spoons, flies, “jigs”)
…….he sells several CD’s with lessons (first one is basics on making lures, plus color mixing & layering, texturing, making and using molds, making hollow forms… others have more projects for specific types of lures and one is just on mixing colors)
…….I have marketed my CD’s on eBay for over 2 years ..$20 each ..http://stores.ebay.com/Artist-CDs-Direct
…….http://www.craftcds.com … http://www.polymerlures.com (gone)
…….my CD’s are more detailed than the advertising and recommend the proper baking times considering the thicknesses of each design. 15 minutes is plenty for some of the small jigs or flies… crankbaits take more time and may take multiple sessions. . Don Lokke
…Sculpey III may not be suitable for thin or projecting or thin parts of lures though because of it’s brittleness after baking (FimoSoft could be somewhat problematic too …Premo, Kato, FimoClassic or Cernit would be better).
…the people I know who made polymer clay lures had flyfishing husbands who tie their own lures….they had some very good results with Sculpey SuperFlex clay (now called Bake and Bend) which is basically Sculpey with more of the flexible Elasticlay (now called MoldMaker) added, the plasticiser. The clay stays very rubbery/bendy after baking, makes things look livingbait-ier on the hook… Sarajane
(see just below in Animals for more on making fish and bugs-insects)
