Jerkbaits Carved

I finally got around to carving out the masters for the jerkbaits. After much research, I decided that the investment in the RTV for mold making might be better spent if I took the time to carve out a set of originals. Not only that it allowed me to tweak the originals, so I could get more meat up at the head, which will be better for you jigmeisters.

Registered at the GE webpage and now I'm going to hunt down some recommendations for sealing them. I think I'd like to seal them to fill in some of the razor blade slit marks I couldn't sand out, offer some protection and also give them a non-absorping surface for the mold release agent. I toyed with doing the same on the sluggo type molds, but why bother, since most everyone is happy with the 10" sluggo mold I already have. I just need to purchase a few additional and get a smaller version. Do people have a particular mid size sluggo they like, 6 inch maybe?
