Want something to do?
Here's a seven color tube bait made using a Do-It mold with a spline that makes the filaments without the need to cut them. The mold makes a super nice tube without a lot of messing around. Well, if you make a simple tube that is.
The spline that makes the filaments has 18 grooves that fill. I did three grooves of six different color and then shot the tube body in the blue. Old eyes and fat fingers made for an interesting 35-40 minutes. Doing this in daylight would be a super benefit. Challenging is the best way to describe this puppy.
I have a grand-daughter that thinks this plastic stuff is pretty good stuff. I shot a "frog" family using a 4" frog, a three inch frog [Mama, as I found out its called], and three 1 1/2" baby sized frogs. She mad a house out of an ice cream pail for them. Hard telling what this thing will become. I have some 4" lizards this time around too so she'll be a busy kid on Christmas Eve. lol

Yep. Even you wouldn't want to see the cost of a ten cavity even at 2.5". The spline portion of this mold is a 40 dollar bill and the mold body is another 50. Just the splines would be a 400.00 ticket on a ten cavity.

ctom You don't have to have the fancy cams made with the grooves for the tail you need to cut the grooves directly into the mold and place a street rod this way you will have a precut plastic bait in the mold I am no fancy at drawing up something like this I do not have the skills but if I did I would absolutely design and send it to a mold maker to have it made I know it will work . and why the mold makers are not doing this I haven't got a clue they take the most expensive way to do things sometimes.

Time in the machine Bob. Lots of passes to get that. Man, a ten cavity would be a chunk of change.
