Default RE: Anyone make their own offshore trolling lures?

I had been considering taking some of my Marlin lures and making a plaster mold of them and then filling that with resin to cast them. I don't have a drill press to drill a true center hole and haven't quite figured out yet how I would create a collar at the base other than using a pipe cutter to create a groove all the way around the base of the lure. I guess you would just coat the inside of the plaster mold with vaseline so you could remove the head when it set up. I think you might be able to also leave a toothpick or bamboo kabob stick where the hole should go and pour thelure headaround it and just remove it when you're done. Not really sure. Lots of ideas, but no experience.
