Can you do them in clusters rather than inline?

Thank guys for all the input!  I made a batch of the red that seems to be most popular tonight and am gonna make a few more tomorrow.

huntnphool..do you mean like these?  This is my next mold but I need to start paying myself back for the other molds before I get the clusters.  Buddies just take the strands, poke the first and every other egg through the hook and run it up to the egg loop to make a cluster.

looks great i love the red. works great for out on the hump and the clusters would slay under a lighter bobber for drifting.  how hard is it to start making your own worms? i want to make some for seabass and maybe a shrimp tail would work nicly. how do you go about making your worms and such?

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.  I've been doing it for 33 years.  The trick is to not burn your plastic and keep track of your color formulas.  You can also make your own molds from your favorite worms or grubs.  I copied the Kalin's mogambo grub mold for bottom fish and a twin tail skampi.  Pour either one of those in a 3 color laminate pattern and the bottom fish LOVE them.
The grub on the left is a rip off of the Mogambo.  It is pretty rough but it is only for personal use.  The worms on the right I designed in high school when I worked for a worm company.  I own the only molds in existance.   :chuckle:   Send me a pm if you are interested in where to go to and what to buy to get started.  It ain't cheap to get set up right but once you do it is a lot of fun being able to come up with your own color combos.  I use to love it when I cam up with a hot color and I was the only one around that had it.    :IBCOOL:

It might be cheaper to buy an already made mold.  Lurecraft sells over 900 different molds and has a couple of different small crab, shrimp and scampi molds.     
http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/molds/plastic-molds/creature-molds/5x447:707  If you want to make your own you can cast it with RTV silicone. Just make a frame, seal the joints, glue your original to the bottom, mix the 2 parts of the RTV, pour over the top of your original, tap the bubbles out and let it set up.  Then all you have to do is take it out of the frame and remove the original.  Where you really start getting into the money is the CNC machined aluminum injection molds like I got for the eggs.  Some crawdad or worm molds can go for several hundred dollars each.

The worms are liquid plastic that is the color and consistency of milk.  You heat it up to 320-340 degrees where it thickens up and becomes clear.  You let it heat up a little more and it becomes thinner and pourable.  You add regular coloring after it has become clear and fluorescent coloring before heating while the liquid plastic is room temp, otherwise it will burn and clot.

Here is some stuff the I whipped up today.  The peach colored eggs glow in the dark.  These are some of the colors that I have come up with so far.  What other colors would you guys suggest?
