This is a 3D printable injection mold for producing soft plastic lures inspired by the legendary Strike Pro Pig Shad 230mm — a large-format vibrotail designed for trophy pike and zander fishing. The mold features a single cavity and is optimized for FDM printing (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, etc.), while also being compatible with SLA/DLP resin printers.

The 230mm (9") Pig Shad is the largest size in the series, weighing 90g and coming 1 piece per pack . It features a flat, wide head with a massive paddle tail that produces a wide, sweeping rolling action at slow retrieve speeds . The lure is made from dense but elastic silicone that withstands multiple predator attacks .

Injection Specifications:

Injector diameter: 16mm (compatible with standard hand injectors and small injection machines)

FDM Printing Recommendations:

Layer height: 0.08mm maximum for best surface quality and detail reproduction

Recommended material: PETG or any filament with a higher temperature resistance than PLA (ABS, ASA, Nylon, PET‑CF, PC, etc.)

For large models (over 5 inches / 125mm):

Wall loops (perimeters): 12–15 lines

Top solid layers: 10 layers

Bottom solid layers: 10 layers

Infill density: 10–20% (adjust as needed for strength vs. material usage)

Recommended orientation: cavity side up for best surface quality

Can be printed without supports or with minimal supports depending on orientation

For best results, print with a brim or raft to improve bed adhesion

Mold Features:

Single cavity for the 230mm (9") Pig Shad profile

Wide, flat head section with massive paddle tail for powerful low-frequency rolling action

Dense, elastic silicone geometry for durability against multiple predator attacks

Slow‑sinking characteristics allowing work at any depth

Optimized runner system for proper material flow

Venting channels along the cavity for air escape during injection

Alignment pins and matching holes for consistent mold closure

Designed for use with hand injectors and small injection machines

Compatible with plastisol, soft PVC, and other soft plastic materials

Thick, durable mold geometry designed for repeated use
