I love fishing so I decided why not make my own tails and jig heads. I tried making some of my own moldswith the instructions from the website which apeared to work fine but when I go to pour them it doesnt form the tail. Therefore I'm left with half a grub. I just tried melting down some old grubs for this until my shippment from Lurecraft and Jann's Netcraft come in.

Anyone have any tips?

Get one of these and go to town. Microwave and a pyrex doest produce a small stream

Sounds like a two part mold, you more than likely have one of two problems.

The first - is it vented well? The steam will need somewhere to go.

The second - how thin/thick is the tail? If it's too thin, it will need to be injected to fill, as gravity alone will not pull the plastic down before it cools.

I Think its vented well enough but the tails are pretty thin. I ordered a few molds with injectors from jann's netcraft so hopefully that solves the problem. I'm just eager to start and I dont want to wait for them to come in .

I've heard horror stories about those injectors.  

Some of the thin tail molds you will need to pour the tail then close the mold.
