Fishing Lure & Metal Parts Making Applications
|
|
Fishing lure bodies are not nearly as complex as the sample parts shown in the photo above. However; These plastic parts demonstrate that any shape can be effeciently mass produced using TEKCAST systems, equipment and materials.
For many years now; Spin Casting has been the conventional system for casting lead ballast onto fish hooks for small jig making such as crappie jigs and many others. It is also the primary system for mass producing spinner bait style, wireform, lure heads.
Now that RTV Plastics such Industrial Polymers Inc. Polywood (refered to in the LMM as liquid balsa wood) is available to Lure Makers; Spin Casting systems make it possible to produce thousands of parts per day with high cost effeciency, and relative low cost for initial set up.
TEKCAST Industries Inc. provides extensive training in the use of thier equipment, materials and methodologies via the TEKCAST website, “How-to” Manuals, and video presentations.
TEKCAST has extensive experience helping lure makers with thier specialized mold making and equipment requirements. TEKCAST offers turn-key set-ups that includes multi-cavity mold making.

The TEKCAST Spin-Casting System provides high levels of strength, close tolerances and excellent reproduction of detail. It produces high-quality parts in commercial grade: ZINC ALLOYS, TIN ALLOYS & LEAD ALLOYS
Cast Rapid Prototyping & Product Development Parts In Just Hours! IMPROVE DESIGN FLEXIBILITY - Molds can be made and prototypes or development parts cast in as little as three hours. Design changes in size, function, fit or appearance are quickly reproduced without making or wasting a large tooling or machine-time investment.
From Pattern/Model To Production Castings In Less Than One Day. TEKCAST SPIN-CASTING PROVIDES A HIGHLY COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO LIMITED-RUN PRECISION DIE CASTING AND OTHER CASTING OR FABRICATION TECHNIQUES - An entire TEKCAST Spin-Casting system can be set up for less than the cost of one moderately complex die casting mold. TEKSIL™ Silicone rubber molds can be cycled as many as 50-60 times per hour, for hundreds of cycles. For example: a 20-part/cavity mold can produce 1000-1200 components per hour, thus providing high production run capabilities.
PRECISION CASTING PROCESS - Production Parts Typically Meet Tolerances in the ±.005-.008 Inch per Inch Range.
CAST PRECISION WAX PATTERNS - For use in Lost Wax Investment Casting of Ferrous and Non Ferrous Metal Parts.
TekCAST provides a special web site section just for Lure Makers.
As your Lure Making Guide; I recommend that lure makers study the TEKCAST web site thoroughly. www.tekcast.com
