Here are some pics from the fall festival we had last weekend. Alchi Baits had a booth for the first time and we were pleased. There are some things that needs to be changed for next year, but all in all it was good for a first time. The first pic was just some baits laying on the table. The next was soem of our toads hanging. The last is some of our sticks hanging. Saint.

Anyone ever see these? I cannot seem to find them in a store here. It looks like a bluish purple with purple flakes? Any ideas?
-
Jim: well done bro. Saint.
-
I can personally vouch for the trick worm mold being different. I have seen three trick worm molds from different makers, and everyone of them is different. Some people just don't have anything better to do I guess. Saint.
-
Thanks big worm. 152nd street baits sent me some samples he poured. I think that may be the way to go. Saint.

Not sure that Del or Bob created the Senko either. Competition is good for everyone. Saint.

I liked the idea of charging the same and putting one or two less per pack. However, for this customer I charge by the bait because he buys in bulk. Generally 100 baits in 4 different colors at a time. So basically 400 toads at a time. Therefore, packaging one or two less will not work. Saint.

Thanks guys. BTW that is a good looking bait. Saint.

Just talked with the customer. We are talking about Del's buzz frog mold. He will be ordering in bulk 50-100 of each color and will not expect a time line. I just need to get them done when I can. Saint.

To all you guys that sell baits. How do you handle laminates? Do you charge more cause they take more time? Thanks. Saint.

I had that issue. If you reheat plastic too much it will fade overnight. I saw that happen with watermelon colors the most. Also, if you do a dry reheat it will happen. Always reheat in liquid. Saint.

Who is pouring the 6.25 version of this mold? Would you mind giving me a breakdown on this mold? Please feel free to PM me if you would prefer. Thanks. Saint.

Dang Jim, nice pour, but why you gotta hijack my boys thread? just joking. Saint.

Use the search feature. You will find enough info there to make your head spin. Saint.
-
Thanks Jim. Saint.
-
I can't seem to find them. All I see are actual baits. Bassbug can send a link? Thanks.

I am interested as well. However, I cannot do 100 baits at this time. I have zero inventory left and need to pour a ton for a festival booth I am having down here. Let me know what the final decision is and I will try to do what I can. Saint.

Right on. That is something everyone wants to experience. We all said at one point that we hope we have to worry about that much business. Then, when it happens you wonder how you are going to get out of it for a while. I wish him the best of luck. Now we can ask him questions on how to slow down. Saint.

Here are the pics of my two molds from Del. You will see that one has little holes in the feet to vent. There is also a flat vent to the bottom. That is the newer mold and it pours very easy. The other is just a flat vent to the bottom. That is my older mold, it does not pour near as easily. Saint.
-
Man, I don't know. Mine pours on the left side every time. I am using MF regular as well and I don't seem to have the problems. I will g take the pics right now. Saint.
-
Try pouring very, very small stream at first then speed up once the feet are filled. Unless you are using salt, there is no reason the feet should not fill at that temp. If the mold is not vented, that is almost certainly your problem. I would send it to get vented ASAP. Saint.
-
That is a good idea Jim. I may cut it this weekend. I think I am going to order another 4 cavity from him. That way I could pour 10 at a time. If I do that, I might send it back for him to vent and I won't be losing that much pouring time. That has been my best selling bait by far. I just shipped out 200 yesterday and need to pour 200 more this weekend to complete the order. The total order was 600. From what I understand, he will need the same order in a couple of weeks. So I do see more molds in my future. Saint.
-
I will try to take some pics today. The old mold does have some vents cut, but it is one big one per frogs. The new one has multiple small holes drilled into each side of each feet. I will try to post some pics sometime this weekend of each mold. Thanks. Saint.
-
The new toad mold is vented well. The older version not as well and doesn't pour near as easily. I have to get it around at least 355* to pour the old mold. Saint.
-
I will continue to play around with it until I figure it out. Saint.
