I am trying to find a Bobby Garland Baby Shad mold. Do you know of any company that will make it. I don't think there is a patent on the bait and other companies have copied it. I know how much bait making costs so you don't have to warn me.

The stinger mold from Jacob's is very close.  It does have eyes but that doesn't matter.  I've had one for 3 years now.  It is a 10 cavity mold.

 

 

The small fry or super fry molds from Do-It are spot on. Actually any of the fry series.

I just made a two part plaster mold an half go from belly to tail and the other half are flipped and got from tail to belly. I have tried belly to tail before and couldn't get the plastic all the way to the tail. Would the tail to belly work?

Tail to belly would not. On the belly to tail it sounds like it isn't vented enough or the plastic is not hot enough. Try running a small file or razor blade and making a groove across the tail and going straight down the bait.

I've tried that and it didn't seem to work don't think getting the plastic hotter worked but I'll have to try again. I have better plastic now. That mold was one of my first ones

You might just not be able to get enough pressure on the plastic to push it through. I would coat the mold with a hard smooth finish like epoxy or fiberglass and make sure it is a REALLY thin coat. It shoul help slide the plastic along and give you the option to lubricate it with some kind of oil to help it get in there. Canola oil works fine. If none of that works just make an open pour mold. Those are fool-proof and are way quicker to make. That little hump at the top isn't worth the effort. The fish don't care about the fine details as much as we do. You can also alter molds more that way. I highly recommend adding a tiny little paddle or ball at the end of it. That little tail moves just a little bit more and drives them crazy

Well I do have a one piece mold and it works perfectly fine but it takes forever sometimes to get a good one. I wanted to try a two piece so I would get a good bait most of the time with not much extra flash. And also not spending a lot of money

I have had great success with molds from here. This one looks close. It took me a couple tries to get where my pours were fishable also
