The soft plastic baits seen in the picture were done using a lure mold designed to be cast in lead. The tails came from a regular plastic bait. My injector has a cone nozzle and fit inside the gate opening perfectly so I didn't have to alter anything. I took about a minute with the Dremel tool and modified the tail end of the cavity in the center.
This works slick. Set a tail in the mold, close it and inject your body color in. Very little need for clean-up aside from a couple little plastic tits that pull right off. I did a clear seal coat of plastic to help protect the eyes and the pearl coat on the one bait.
I think I'm going to like this one as a walleye bait. Boy, am I glad I didn't interrupt this daydream.
