Abstract: The mold apparatus disclosed herein is configured for simultaneous communication of a resin having a color and a complementary resin having a complementary color into a mold cavity without intermixing between the resin and the complementary resin in order to form an object wherein the color is essentially separated from the complementary color, in various aspects. In various aspects, the object formed by the mold apparatus may be configured as a fishing lure body, which is a molded portion of a fishing lure. The fishing lure body has a top and a bottom, and the top is of the color and the bottom is of the complementary color, in various aspects. Related methods and manufactures are disclosed.

Abstract: A flexible artificial fishing lure comprising a lure body and a pair of legs extending from the lure body, wherein each leg has an upper leg portion attached to the lure body and a lower leg portion extending rearward of the upper leg portion. Each lower leg portion tapers inwardly such that the thickness of each lower leg portion gradually decreases from an outer edge toward an inner edge. According to this design, the lower leg portions have greater weight along the outer edge than along the inner edge. In operation, the lower leg portions move multi-dimensionally as the lure is pulled through the water, thereby creating substantial motion and concomitant vibrations for attracting fish.

Abstract: An apparatus for injection molding multi-colored plastic lures, utilizing an openable mold into which a mold mandrel is pivotally inserted between a pair of mold plates. A separator bar is selectively positioned between an injection and a joining position. In the injection position the separator bar separates an adjacent and a successive element of a multi-element cavity permitting communication of a selected plastic source with an adjacent element, while preventing communication with a successive element. In a joining position the separator bar permits communication between the adjacent element and the successive element, while preventing communication with the selected plastic source. Pivotally inserted, axially extensible mandrels define an inner article form and extract the formed lures from the mold cavities when the process is completed.
