making a soft plastic top water with multiple tails

[bmm102883]

I want to make a grub like cylinder body for the main body shape that can have different tails. I am wondering about the mold setup. I realize that I will have to do different molds for each tail but how do I get the molds to line up so that the body will encompass the tail?

If you visit the following link ... http://makelure.com/HowTos.cfm and then watch the 4th video down, you will see how I did it on a bull dawg style bait. Basically you have to taper the body of the tube down to the same height and width as the tail/s coming into the mold. I would suggest making the inserted tail taper much farther down and longer so that will lay inside the body and be encapsulated when pouring the body of the grub. Then the tail will not only be touching but the tail will be interlocked with the tail. The more tail you have laying into the body mold, the more it will fuse and lock together. Hope that makes sense.
