Frequently Asked Questions

Is the hook slot insert included? Yes! The hook slot insert comes with the mold.

Can I make hollow body swimbaits with this mold? No, this is designed for solid-body swimbaits. You'll need to trim the belly after pouring for the best finish.

What size eyes should I use? The mold features a 6mm eye socket, so use 6mm 3D eyes for a perfect fit.

Do I need special equipment for open pour molds? Open pour molds are beginner-friendly! You just need plastisol, a heat source (microwave or hot plate), and a heat-safe pouring container.

What hook sizes work best? For the 4" size, use 3/0 to 5/0 weighted swimbait hooks or 1/4 to 1/2 oz jig heads.

💡 Pro Tip: Pour in pearl white or electric shad colors for clear water, or use darker colors like black/blue or junebug for stained water. Add glitter to the belly for extra flash that triggers reaction strikes.
