Some more home designs. Just poured the silicone over them so it will be set tomorrow evening. Very deep (nearly 2 inches) for those big paddle tails!!
I worked out how to get rid of finger prints on the lures... Just need to rub them gently with your finger and the modelling clay goes nice and smooth, only problem is that it warms it up and you lose the shape you made a bit so only worked well for the larger ones.
^^ LRF
^^ Dumpy LRF for those fish who like to nip at tails the hook will be much closer and a larger profile.
^^ HRF size paddle tail.
^^ Large Paddle tail with some deep cuts to help the tail action (I hope) About 6 inches long.
^^ Another large paddle tail with a deep "split" in the middle, again I hope it will help the action become more 'S' like. The groove on what is the underside is to help a weighed (or weightless) texan style hook sit better and allow easy hookup as it will not have to push through a lot of plastic to set.
I have another block of modelling clay but no more silicone mould mateial at the moment so any comments more than welcome.
Pushing the boundaries I hope :-D
These ones will be ready for Jersey. My secret weapons ;-)
