Welcome to CNC Worm. In this blog I'm going to show off some of the CNC aluminum fishing lure molds I have made as well as share my thoughts on machining and molding your own soft plastic fishing lures.

Leadhead Molds

These are my first attempts at making leadhead molds.  They came out great considering I had never worked with the lead material before.  They need a little fine tuning.  Mostly I needed smaller vents since they flashed over.  For the vents I made a .010 deep groove with a 1/16 ball mill on each side.  Obviously, that was a little too much.. I need to make them a little smaller.

Football head mold: 

It has 1 1/4 oz cavity, 2 3/8 oz cavities, 1 1/2 oz cavity, and 1 3/4 oz cavity.
