Description
Designed with both novice and experienced bait makers in mind, this mold from Making Baits produces a 7-inch worm similar to other long finesse worms on the market. Perfect for targeting Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Walleye, Musky, and other predatory fish, this mold ensures your tackle box is well-equipped for your next fishing adventure.
The 7-inch Aqua Bolt mold requires approximately 1.4 fluid ounces of plastisol to fill, making it super simple to pour even for the most novice bait makers. Remember to pour the thin sections first per the "Thick-To-Thin Method." I've included a few videos below that demonstrate this method.

Whether you're a seasoned bait maker or just starting out, the Aqua Bolt mold is designed to be user-friendly and efficient. Its realistic details and easy pour design help you craft baits that not only look great but also perform exceptionally in the water.
Elevate your bait-making game with the 7-inch Aqua Bolt Open Pour Bait Mold from Making Baits, and start creating custom baits that will entice even the most elusive fish to bite!
I recommend printing the mold at a layer height of 0.10 to 0.20mm with a minimum of 10 shells, with up to 12 shells being ideal. A thicker shell in each mold cavity will help prevent warping from the heat of hot plastisol. Print with 25% infill with the Gyroid Infill pattern only. I find that Gyroid Infill is better at stabilizing the mold cavities in all dimensions. No support material is needed. If your slicing program asks for supports, simply decline. It's asking to support the label on the bottom of the mold, and that is easily bridgeable.

Warning: Pouring Soft Plastic Baits is extremely dangerous and involves pouring molten vinyl plastisol at 350°F (177°C), and produces toxic fumes that require an organics rated respirator to filter out properly. Only work with plastisol with the proper safety equipment, knowledge, and adequate ventilation.
