Hello All,
I talked with Do-It mold. Ultra Shad, Walleye jig mold, tear drop........all can go into a production style if we get interested parties. There break point to put new mold into production is 100. I want no collars on ultra shad. I wanted production molds of tear drops 1/8 and walleye jig mold. I advised Do-It mold I would get some conversation going. Thoughts?
Can I see a pic of the styles you are talking about? PM me if you want to.
What type of price point would we be looking at? A hundred molds is an awful lot.
Price will not be any different. The 100 is really the number needed for doing business! For them to break into a new mold and have the foundry pour the new style there sales teams likes to know at least 100 molds are sold! The do not have a cash flow concerns in regards to accounting "turns" but this is basically a standard operations process.
The guy kinda said yesterday..."100 people have a 100 ideas but we need to make sure that 100 molds are bought"
BB.....I will picsnatch some pics into the string over the weekend.
Do it Do-it!!
That Ultra Shad is an easy fix for no collar. Get some of this and fill in the area you do not want and gently file a hook slot. You may want to add a wire keeper slot for plastic. Pour with or without the wire for tying. I have done a few molds like this and they still pour great after a few years. Jason and Ryan at DoIt are pretty slow about anything. Jacobs would be more likely to put something together for less amounts. Email him your ideas and you might be surprised.

Ifish...thanks for the info. I will contact jacobs! I have already ordered the new 1/24 from them and 1/32!
From what I have seen Jacob molds are tough to beat in Quality. Rick puts out an outstanding product.
Trying to find a 100 people that wants just like you want will be tuff to do. Have you checked locally with any tool/die shops. It wont be cheap, building the cad files will be the costly area, not so much the milling.
Brushnjigs.....yes.
Bobo.....agree. I know with CNC work the charge would be higher
Hey, know what you mean about CNC layout. The shop here in IOWA wantes $250.00 for the setup and $30.00 for each mold made. I've had several done and the are good but I"ll never recoup the cost.
Grumpy....shoot some info and I can give them a shout out. Struggling to get anyone to listen to voice of the customer
I go on the Do-It forum and have requested the walleye no collar and several others but they don't want to make a go of it even though it will be a good seller. I've posted all the threads about folks modifying their molds to take the collars off.
I am not giving up FM!!!!!!
Never give up but keep an eye on Do-It home site. They werent interesested in making just one mold for me but through interest raised or whatever happened the molds we had talked about eventually became something they put in their line up.There is no way they can make each of us our own personal mold and still stay in business, but I'm sure they are listening all the time.Grumpy
Plate sent you an email!!
Everyone needs to bombard Robert at crazy angler and beg him to start doing molds again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot get a hold of Robert yet but am trying.....On three different boards and the are people who will pay. Agree with you Fatman
I agree with you 100% I have bought some his molds in the past and they are mighty fine work.Quote:
