it took a while. I have a formal art school education, so i put what i learned in bronze casting and jewery casting classes to work on this. I dont know anyone else casting rubber baits to ask questons to, so i might have made things way too complicated than they have to be, but i am very happy with my results.

basicly in a nutshell, you make a model and make molds off of your model. Its very tricky and requires insane patience.

glad you guys like them.

diggin jiggin, i am going to make an eel pretty soon with a weighted head, but in the mean time i am just going to decapitate my eels and glue the shoulders onto a bullet head.
