Well I should have a new mold here Monday :) I can't wait to try out my new ________. Mmm well I might make y'all wait till Monday to see what it is but a little hint for you mold savvy pourers. If I pour enough of them my eye sight might get better lol.
no fair, keep in the other guys at guessing but I definitely know what it is. Maybe. We will be making a order this week, but not from him. Ha Ha Ha now I got you guessing no it's not from bass tackle either or Jacob.Quote:

Bob, that ain't fair! You are not supposed to back fire my post!:) You no what mold i ordered but dang it, it's going to drive me crazy tring to figure out yours. Plus the mold maker. Hmmm could be Caney creek but I would put money on that. mmm now if i had a pack of baits to bet I would say Del mart?

I've still got six molds on order from Del-mart from his Thanksgiving sale! Two orders of six and four molds and I've only received four molds; almost three months! Think I'll ever see them?
you're pretty good at figuring out things. Now that you've figured that out what mold did I order. I think that should be pretty simple. He doesn't have much to order Rick is been awful busy with that stupid machine. Sorry Rick gonna have to beat up on Rick and make him start making some molds. I think him when I have to chew him out. No more machine work. I haven't heard from Rick in a while I know that he is been awful busy so I do not try to bother him. He knows what I want in he will get back to me when he gets a chance yes I will be ordering a couple different other molds from their baits in the future. We are waiting for you to get that one to show me what it looks like okay I'm pretty sure that's the one that you are getting maybe, by the way . I'll tell you later. But have you been going through the mold makers lately there has been some changes. Okay guys, teacher computers fired up and go searching you will find some interesting things with our mold makers going on now. I think bear baits is been fired up. I hope we see more from him. Take a look at the other three mold makers and see which you can find.Quote:

Yes, we were outpouring today I poured about 200 baits for ship. I have about 200 more probably to shoot this week or night prowler.Quote:

I bet you in time that crappie plastic baits will outdo bass hundred to one I think we're in for bigger and better things to come in the way of the mold makers is I know that they read a lot of these post. Maybe they are waiting for snake to make more ideals. Maybe that's what we should do is post designs on here to see if anyone of them would take it's like temptation of the devil.Quote:

I ordered two molds from Del-mart Molds in November and still haven't got them. I know that he had never nade a mold like this and we said it would take time to program the design.

Then on Friday he said that on mold was done and he was gonna cut the other one Saturday or Monday. I'm not holding my breath! Half tempted to call Bear Baits and see if he would be willing to do a quick turnaround and get the molds cut asap. I talked to Jacobs and he said he wouldn't do them due to propritiary reasons. The funny thing is that the baits I sent him were made by a friend of mine not by a bait company!
Did your friend machine his own design . Because if it was a copy from another bait that a patent is held on Jacobs couldn't do it for someone who makes plastics as a business. If there is a possible patent infringement Bear won't get into that either.I'm on several web sites and I've seen some reel s--t storms over just the word beaver Being used. Been there done that. It sucks.
thats one Sweet Beaver :)

I think you only have to change it bait 10% and you won't be infringing on anybody else's plastic bait.Quote:

Well I guess I'll see what happens with Del-mart molds. Hopefully he gets these two done this week. I need to start stocking up on baits for the season.
did you pay him. When you order the molds.Quote:
