Making a swimbait silicon mold the hard way, casting soft plastic swimbaits  

Think you should revisit this one and maybe add what you have learned from the water/fishing test and perfect it.

That was great at least I know I'm not the only one who makes mistakes, good recovery.

Plenty of f**k around and find out with mold making in one video but end result looks really good, nice subtle action on a good looking lure (scale pattern was a great idea).

I didn't realize my wife was an Angler until I found one of these in her nightstand drawer. It even vibrates for better action, maybe give that a try!

I like this one. that tail is amazing. Glad you weathered the storm Franco.

Looks great!!

Wow Franco, that WAS a tough build. But you got through it quite well. Congrats! I hope it catches fish as good as it looks. Also, I'm glad you got through both storms with minimal loss.

I appreciate a video where the mistakes are shown. Almost every one of my videos is riddled with mistakes and how I correct them so I applaud you!

I can see you had a hard time with this one. The end result was totally worth it! I love your videos because you show just how imperfect we are and the issues we can have when lure building.

I thought it looked really good, a very subtle action. I know these longer videos can be a pain to make but I like these the most and always watch the whole thing

Good to hear you didn’t have much damage

Check out the Core Tackle TUSH and Hover Rig hooks. They're weighted hooks that give soft plastics a different action. They can replace jig heads and other hooks.

I didn't find your video this morning and found you by chance. Thanks for the upload Franko! Nice recovery from the silicone difficulties. BTW, I've never seen a two-part, open pour, injection mold before. Wow!

That’s a great looking soft plastic! Nice work.

Silicone can turn into a mess really quickly. And platinum silicone can be very finicky where it doesn't cure, especially with cured UV resin. For modeling clay (sulphur free) I like to heat it in a slow cooker and literally pour it over or set my master into it before it hardens. Hard modeling clays actually have a lower melting point than soft modeling clays. I do this when copying soft plastic baits that have a higher melting point than the clay.

Great choice! I love all your videos 🫡🙌

Amazing loved the action on that tail and also put a rattle in the tail woooo weeee.

In all those years i've learnt to NEVER remove the master.

Yep thats a winner

well done....

you need a vacation

Great video and lure build do you build any lures for people

The other moulds that you made if you cut them up into pieces you can use them as filler in your next mold

My best friend from grade school graduated from Rose Hulman. We are still best friends and we are almost 40. You sir would definitely fit right in at our bon fire get togethers😂. We are always making stuff, and i get alot of info from him. Engineers are the absolute best 👌 🫡. My favorite channels on YT are Rogan of course, tactical bassin, Engineered angler, and Marling baits. 🙌
