Pouring question

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me how to make the skirts that are on Yamamoto creature baits? Its also the same as on the front of a chompers spider grub. I made the mold for the body but can't figure out the skirt.

You'll have to get a skirt cutter. Check with Del-mart for a tube tail cutter. Or you can just cut them with a razor blade or exacto knife.

Thanks, I have a tube cutter coming. The skirts on those are a seperate pour and then fused to body. I think I figured out a way to pour a "modified tube" for this or should I say a "dipped tube" , anyhow, I think I got it. Not perfect, but it will work.

From what I've seen of the Ika and spider grub skirts, they have a bit of a flair from the body.

The mold is different, being injector poured, which creates a skirt that is at an angle to the body. Tube skirts are even with the tube body and of no value when it comes to attaching that kind of skirt to the head of a lure. I tried it a few years ago and all I created was a worm with a tube skirt. Good luck!
