Make a fishing lure mold for $25 bucks... 
 
The Art, Sport & Business of Lure Making is an extensive course of lure making instruction written, and illustrated with one goal in mind: That is to give you the ability, as a fishing lure making enthusiasts, the where-with-all to cost effectively manufacture, or reproduce just about any fishing lure design you desire. 
 
Until now; the notion of making ten or more copies of a crank bait would have required an un-exhaustible bank account. Conventional methods of injection molding demand machine cut steel, or aluminum molds, and high temperature, high pressure injecting machinery. Such conventional injection molds can cost from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on the complexity of the part, or number of part cavities. Injection machinery costs even more, and requires hundreds of square feet of factory floor space (definitely high rent & utilities). 
 
The alternative to all that is computerized lathes, or computer guided, CNC, router machines. Once again; the cost of set up would be thousands of dollars before one fishing lure product (design) could be made. I don't know about you; but I think I would be sure I invented a "million-seller" before I bitt all that off...........  
 
In this Book, you will be provided the knowledge to make a casting, or injection mold for less than twenty-five dollars. That’s right!; I said: "$25 bucks". Your finished mold will produce the same quality fishing lure bodies as a conventional steel or aluminum mold that may cost up to $10,000., or more?  
 
TRUEFLEX Imagineering mold making materials, mold tools, and methods are the key to making Micro Factory lure manufacturing possible. Once you familiarize yourself with these simple mold making materials and methodologies; the making of fishing lures will be limited only by your imagination.........................

A mold is basically a negative impression (cavity) of any given objects shape. when the mold cavity is filled with a liquid that cools or hardens into a rigid or semi-rigid material, the mold produces a copy of the original object’s shape.
