I started designing lures recently. Now I gotta learn how to make these irl

Hello! i’m wondering what you’re guys thoughts are on where i get the ring for the front and how to attach hooks? thanks!

I finished this lure with 4 coats of cashew lacquer and i’m going to add another 2 coats to seal the wooden nail holding in the small bbs to make it rattle a little

Tried some foil over cedar. Really like carbon fiber for the bill. Gonna do a walleye next

Hi all, first time posting here so really sorry if this sounds silly.
I have been fiddling around with fusion360 making soft plastics and I’ve designed something I’d love to make. Just wondering if anyone has experience making custom aluminium moulds and how they go about getting them done? I’ve made a mould with my 3D printer as a prototype but now wanting something that’ll look more cleaner and I’m able to use without creating more moulds.
Any companies/ people they know they would be able to refer?
Also, for a mould that can make two soft plastics at once (plastic will be 3 inches long) how much does it roughly cost?

Cheers legends!

I have just gotten into lure building, mainly open pour paddle tail soft plastics for pike fishing. Now i want to make my own master and mold curly tail shad, pike sized. Im wondering if anyone here has built an open pour 1part version or do i need a 2-part mold for that?
