Do-It 2.5" Fry and 1 5/8" Ice Pick Blues
Has anyone else experienced this with this mold? This is the 1 5/8" ice pick and 2.5" fry molds which if you go over to Do-It's forum people associated with them will tell you this is the tail mold for the 2.5" fry mold. Wrong!!!! $50 down the drain along with another $80 for the complete mold and probably a complete waste of me even trying to sell these molds after posting this!!! In the 1st pic I have the ice pick tail within the fry cavity and the ice pick isn't as wide or tall as the fry tail therefor resulting in the body plastic overflowing into a quarter or more of the tail when shot as depicted in pics 2 and 3. Doesn't matter if I cut off the nub off the ice pick or not, it doesn't shoot properly. And to add insult to injury the edges of the tail mold are very ridged. So ridged that tears will occur very easily where the grooves are throughout the tail. I've never seen such an un-smooth bait. Look closely at pic 1.
I haven't had a very good track record with Do-It and their plastic molds as they are very hard to shoot, don't shoot completely without a miracle from God or don't align properly when shut. Out of a total of 5 ordered only one operated properly. I would post this at their forum but posting pics takes a little creative work. More than is necessary. Any advice as I'm ready to just throw these molds away as I don't want anyone to experience the night of frustration I've had with these molds?
