I need to apologize here you need to contact do- it for the mo bait tail mold

As I promised I would show you what it looks like with the dual injector mo bait.

That looks sweeeeeeettt

I did contact do it and they don't offer a tail mold. A mold from lakeside is around $250-300 depending on how many tails in the mold. Guess I will just be stay doing what I am doing for that money. Thanks for help and insight.

I am sending you a PM regarding this.

These are pinched off in the mold .

Bass Tackle is the dual injector I have and it has produced some clean baits for me.



I don't pour too many baits like this anymore as I usually just pour a one colored bait or a one color body on to a one color tail. I keep telling myself I need to pour dual injected baits but I don't.

When I was selling to the public I used to cut the tail along the body with scissors. It was a curved cut.



I found that if I didn't place the tail a 1/16" or so inside the body cavity, the pressure of the body color coming into the cavity would push the tail down a bit and I would have body color showing on the tail. Even with the tail being inside the body cavity 1/16" too much pressure would push it down. I was after a clean bait and this is sloppy to me. This annoyed me.



Now that I'm not selling to the public I don't care about the body being one color and the tail being another. The fish don't care either. It is also easier doing it this way in my opinion. I also found that you get a better bond as there is more surface when fusing the two together. I just use a utility knife blade and press straight down to cut.
