Mold for soft-plastic fishing lure

A mold design for producing a soft plastic fishing lure, developed to test a new concept aimed at improving hydrodynamic performance. The lure is based on a traditional ned-worm profile but incorporates a series of bumps and ribs along the tail section to increase water displacement and enhance movement in the water. The mold was designed with manufacturability in mind, suitable for casting using PVC-based plastisol. The project focused on achieving clean geometry, consistent material flow, and a functional final product for real-world testing.
