Can I get custom soft plastic lures made with my own mould?
Short answer
Yes, and it is the normal route for a private-label range. What changes is the sequence rather than the product: a mould has to be cut and a sample approved before production runs.
In detail
Ask the factory to state which of the two cases applies - stock mould or new mould - because it is the single largest input into the lead time, and a quotation that does not say which one it is cannot be compared against another quotation.
The numbers behind this answer
| Form | What it is fished as | What decides its price |
|---|---|---|
| Fork-tail worm | Drop shot, Neko, Texas rig | Thin-section mould precision; material softness |
| Stage | What it decides | What it changes in the order |
|---|---|---|
| Mould | Whether the form is a stock mould shared with other buyers, or one cut for you | A new mould adds tooling and a sample round before production starts; a stock mould runs on the factory's normal schedule |
