The Speckled Hog mold featured in two different incarnations in this video was designed completely in the CAM program Cam Bam. All the molds except the one small curly tail were CNC machined by me on my Taig mini mill. Special thanks to the guys at TACKLE UNDERGROUND for all their help.

And I can give you the run down on sites and resources to get started. I warn you that metal working is an expensive and addicative hobby.
You tube does not give enough space for posting replies to give you a comprehensive answer.
This is great. Where can I learn to make the molds-looks like it requires a lot of skill or metal work knowledge? Where do you buy materials for this kind of project. Thanks for the cool video. Well done.
@Mikeandwendy74 – You are correct. Several of the guys on Tackle Underground say they prewarm their injectors. Heat gun (over powered hair drier), hot plate, and toaster oven or devices they list. In addition most of my aluminum injectors tend to plug up if I warm them the way I show in the video with that stainless plated brass one.
I wonder if you sat the injector in front of a blow dryer for 10 minutes before injecting if if would save you the 1 step of suckin the plastic then spitting it out to warm the injector, hold a blow dryer on your hand for 1 minutes, it gets pretty hot if its 1 inch away
Good stuff !!!

Thank you. Except for the small curly tail mold all the molds in this video were made on my Taig 2019CR rigged for CNC with Mach 3 driving a DeepGroove controller and 280oz stepper motors.
thats to cool. as a novice machinist (sherline and taig) and a avid fisherman this is a cool DIY :).
more into fly fishing now so I am all about making my own equipment.
thanks for this!
