Making Custom Lead Swimbait Jig Heads (Part 1 of 2 - Designing the Master Mold Box)

In this video I show how to design a master mold box for making custom swimbait jig heads for fishing soft plastic lures. (FYI - If you're not interested in learning CAD design this video will be boring for you.) This is Part 1 where I cover only the CAD work involved in designing the Master Mold Box... Part 2 will cover making the mold and pouring the actual lead jig heads. (Part 2 should be uploaded on Dec. 8th.)
