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
Important note: This is an inspired/replica design based on the original Strike Pro Pig Shad lure. Not an official Strike Pro product. For personal use and small‑batch production only.
