Essential series molds

[lowe175]

I've never been happy with the finish on my essential series molds, so I figured out a way to get the finish much better. First, I taped the mold up and used a razor to trim out the cavities. Then I painted the cavities with high heat gloss engine paint. Problem solved.

The baits now look as good as if they were from a machined mold. There is still some texture, but it's much better. Just thought I'd pass this along. I know most of you guys don't make bass baits, but if you were thinking about getting an essential series mold, this makes them much better.


This is the finished mold.

Forgot to put a picture of the finished worm so here it is.

I strayed away from the es senko just for that reason! Thanks to your great idea I may order the thing now. There is always someone thinking outside the box and this idea is a home run judging by the looks of that worm! Thanks for the tip

Worked like a charm.

I'm probably gonna order the new 2 1/2 shad mold and do it the same way.
