Introducing the 2″ SKRIMPIN Open Pour Bait Mold!
Crafted for serious bait makers and DIY lure enthusiasts, the 2‑inch SKRIMPIN mold delivers realistic shrimp‑style soft plastics with ease. Each cavity features an elongated head, segmented body, and fan‑tail that mimics live shrimp movement—perfect for targeting redfish, trout, flounder, and other crustacean‑feeding species. With four cavities per mold, you can pour multiple baits at once and keep your tackle box well‑stocked for the next fishing adventure.
This open‑pour design provides even material flow and minimal flashing, making it beginner‑friendly and efficient for expert pourers alike. The strong cavity walls resist heat distortion, allowing for clean, professional‑grade lures every time. Whether you’re experimenting with new color recipes, layering multiple tones, or adding custom flake blends, the SKRIMPIN mold makes it easy.
