The foil was just used to divide the mold into halves. The mold produces four full paddle tail minnows or using the foil produces eight with a lot more tail action in the water due to less plastic.

I spent over 55 years in Ohio....Akron and Toledo. I know all about the cold and lots of lake effect snow. That is why I am in the deep south now. Huge slab crappies and soft water year round.:Rofl

The final effect was awesone as I filled the mold with hot plastisol and silver glitter. What do you experts think?
