How to Make Soft Plastic Fishing Worms
Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment
Set up your lure-making workstation in a suitable, well-ventilated area. Inspect the injector and mold, and make sure the mold halves are properly aligned and securely closed.
Step 2: Prepare the Plastisol
Follow the plastisol manufacturer’s heating instructions to bring the material to the appropriate processing temperature.
Use suitable heat-resistant equipment and monitor the material temperature carefully.
Step 3: Fill the Aluminum Injector
Following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions, carefully draw the prepared liquid plastisol into the aluminum injector using appropriate heat protection.
Step 4: Inject the Worm Mold
Insert the injector nozzle into the compatible mold opening and fill the cavities using controlled pressure.
Follow the mold manufacturer’s guidance for filling and cooling.
Step 5: Allow the Lures to Cool
Let the material cool sufficiently before opening the mold. Carefully remove the finished soft plastic worms once they are safe to handle.
Step 6: Inspect Your Finished Lures
Check the finished worms for proper shape and complete filling. Trim excess material if necessary, and store your finished lures appropriately.
Important Safety Information: Hot plastisol and metal injection equipment can cause serious burns. Work in a properly ventilated area, use appropriate heat-resistant protective equipment, and follow all manufacturer safety instructions. Never allow water or moisture to contact hot plastisol.

You can explore:

- Dark colors: Black, purple, and darker shades for different water and light conditions.
