I like the look of that twin tail.

Brilliant

Norm, I think what you have taken on board here is absolutely brilliant I can't wait to read the "How to make your own shads guide" when it comes out. I wonder if it would also be possible to add any kind of slow release flavouring to them, or might that be a bit too adventurous? I suppose if that could be done a product would already have been marketed!! but maybe not!!
In any event what you are doing here is great and I can't wait for the next posts - it's a right rivvetin read.
Ohh how I wish I'd stuck in at woodwork and metalwork etc when I was a kid, hey ho: Keep up the good work mate, it is all very thought provoking as to what can be created with some moulds,plastic pvc etc and a creative mind!!! I won't go there as I see some ladies may already have their orders in.
Well done Norm

[Norman]

Well, just to finish off this thread ...... I've just completed and opened up the two new moulds of these models (slinky mk-4 and twintail mk-1)

It was a bit more difficult to set the hook in the twintail (due to it not being on the split line) but I'm sure the next version will solve that, however, being diffcult never stops it hapenning so .....

The initial opening of the new slinky mk-4 (just before removing the Master model) .......




Then the twintail ...




and finally the first couple of casts .... (without failure so far .. ) ...




A major benefit with these twintails (I think but time will tell) is that they have a weighted hook already moulded into them ... which is the most difficult feature of the mould) ....


This is the hook that's embedded in the twintail ..... (a further complication as it also required a lead head mould specific to this shad) but all done now so just have to ..... make em !




soon be time to find out if it was all worth it ... nearly march


ps I'm putting together a "how to do it" thread .... but it seems to be getting rather a long read ........... ... later
