Full Version: Help with lure making

I have been trying to locate the molds for the two "jigging spoons" pictured here. I have checked DO-it molds as well as other commercial mold making sites. I have even attempted to carve my own by hand out of [black]aluminum[/black] block.

The second question I have is the paint on the fat shad lure pictured. It is like a mirrored paint/ dip or something. Unfortunately the maker of this lure has passed and from what I have been told took the process with him.

I would appreciate any insight to the location of a custom or commercial mold as well as the technique used for the mirror type paint.
that paint kind of looks like lure tape.

The thin one is holographic lure tape the bottom fat lure is not, it is a type or paint or something?
