Title: Neco rig
Post by: Steve J on 02/06/16 08:51 UTC

Could I add a nose weight to a worm mold and then shoot or pour the plastic?

The nose weight would probably block the inflo of plastic, so the mold would not fill. Even if the mold did fill; the side where the weight was touching the mold would not cover the weight.

If I hand poured the bottom then added the weight then injected around the weight?
Think I am just going to have to 'give it a go' and find out for myself.

You'd probably spend more time trying to mold it in than it takes to just push a nail weight into a completed bait when you're out fishing, not to mention the nasty reaction plastisol has to lead after a while.  You may end up with a bunch of white nosed baits depending on how long it takes you to use them up..

Yep good thinking all of the plastics I have left a bare lead jig head in turn a nasty brown starting where the bare lead is in contact with the plastic. I think you would have to use brass but I agree it would be more hassle than its worth.
