I made two plaster molds and with regular silicone, I can squirt out five baits per tube. Add a bit of ribbon, and a pit for a little glow stick.
I was thinking of making some with a stinger built in, no tangles...

Cool Ben!  Thanks for the post.  I might have to give that a try myself.  Now you'll have to try them out.  Don't be surprised if you catch a bunch of females with the pink ribbons.   :smt003

Can you remake the mold and shove a coin in at the tail end of the mold and remove it to make a paddle type tail impression in the mold? So the finished product would have a tail for more movement.

Hell yes!! But the slugo, the bait Dustin let me use for the original casting has zero action in the water, but nails fish all day long, go figure....
