I have an idea for a new soft-plastic fishing lure and I’m still at the conceptual stage, but I already know the exact overall length and thickness I want. What I need now is a skilled product designer who can turn those dimensions into a 3D model, refine the profile for realistic action in the water, and then engineer a two-part mold that can be CNC-machined for standard plastisol injection.

I will provide the precise measurements as soon as we start. You will guide the rest of the geometry—tail shape, ribbing, cavities for scent or rattles if you think they add value—so the lure swims naturally and ejects cleanly from the mold. Once the form is locked in, I also want the mold body fully detailed: runner layout, air vents, gate size, parting line, and alignment pins.

Deliverables
• Native CAD file (SolidWorks or Fusion 360) and export in STEP/STL
• 2-D manufacturing drawings with tolerances and material call-outs
• Rendered images for quick visual checks
• Final mold design ready for CNC, proven to clear the lure within ±0.2 mm of the stated dimensions
• A brief design note explaining choices that influence action and durability

I’ll test the first shots here, so reliable draft angles and easy demolding are essential. If tweaks are needed after initial trials, one revision round is included. Let’s create a lure anglers will swear by.
