Hollow Body Frogs

[Akrapora]

Hi Larry, I'm interested in making some of my own hollow bodied frogs. I can't seem to find much info online as to how one does this. Do you have any experience on making these?

Try looking up Spin casting......

I assume that's similar to rotocasting?

Yes. In short, you make your mold so there is only a small open pour hole that can be plugged. You also make it so it can be spun or rotated while the material is setting up.

I have a lure turner that I use for curing the top coat on my hard lures. I can addapt this to accept my molds so it will turn long enough for the mold material to set up.

There is also a tutorial on Slush Casting on Alumilite.com under How To's. Same concept but you simply do it by hand. Larry actually made a big black musky sized frog by slush casting the Flex 80. It may be on the DVD or one of his old shows. I'm pretty sure its on the DVD but am not a 100%.
