I have always tinkered with fishing gear and modifying what I could buy to catch me more fish. My first custom soft plastic design was for an invention fair in 6th grade.
That was a rather crude attempt at a twin curly tail worm but it has always stuck with me as a great fish catching design. My first attempt at making a soft plastic bait mold was early last year and replicated that early effort from my childhood.
This was not a very well designed, machined, or thought out mold but I still managed to make a couple baits with it!
These managed to catch a couple rather large barred surf perch despite their very obvious issues with bubbles and overcooked plastisol.
