  1. Interested in the tube mold if you split it up.
  2. I have this Basstackle 2 PC injection mold that I want to trade towards a Bears Complete Tube Mold. The bait is sort of a cross between a beaver and a brush hog. It is 6" long. It makes a perfect bait everytime, but I fish more tubes than anything, so I would like to have a mold for it. I dip my own tubes, but tired of cutting tails. I can add cash to make sure it is an even value trade. Let me know what you have. PM works best and fastest to get a hold of me. Thanks!
  3. Bassking, you haven't had any problems with iodized salt with your light colored baits?
  4. Replied over there sir. Looking for larger beaver type bait over 4.25 or brush hog type any size. Thanks!
  5. Bears 6.5" injection lizard with curly legs and tail produces the bait below. I bought it new a week ago, but would rather have something else. Looking for trade for other 2 PC injection mold or $45 shipped. Let me know what you're willing to trade. Thanks!
  6. $40 Shipped for both or going to Ebay in the morning
  7. Yes, I use calhoun medium and it does that. I have yet to use it for anything clear, so I don't know how it would work for that because I always use color.
  8. I have had them also specifically request packed in salt, which I used floured salt and they knew that was what they were getting and they liked it. I wondered about larger grained stuff myself.
  9. Non-iodized be a better, safer option than just iodized Richard?
  10. Bob, I guess I'm not your average "hobby" bait maker then. I got an order the first of last week for over 100 baits and shipped them out Saturday. I have 1 injector and that particular bait I have a 1 cavity mold. I busted my a** to get them done for him and there were 6 different colors involved. He probably got 5 emails last week including 2 with shipping times and tracking number. I have done that a couple more times too with other clients. I did 60 hand-dipped tubes in 3 colors and hand-split the tails one weekend too. My point is trying to make any money out of it is VERY hard. I know how to run a business, I have owned two in the past. 1 I had for 10 yrs and the other for 7 yrs. I take great care of my customers and produce a fine product in a short amount of time, BUT when I put a pencil to it, it just doesn't make much money. I would like to know how many on here actually make a "profit" after it is all said and done. I love doing it, but I know I'm not going to get rich off of it. I will always take care of my clients though and they are my main priority. I give up a lot of time with family on the weekends and evenings to do it, and for that, I need to make some money.
  11. Replied to over there
  12. After putting a pencil to everything, it is very hard to make any money with plastics I'm finding. Injection molds are expensive even for 1 cavity, so imagine how many you would have to have to do any kind of production. How many baits would you have to sell just to pay for the mold? You really have to look at it very detailed and see how much time you have into them too. I have decided to just do it as a hobby and not expect to make any money (as in profit). I have spent almost $1k since February and no telling how much time I have involved, so it would take me forever to start making any money (profit). Just my .02
  13. Offers before I put them on auction site????
  14. You do have some good looking molds. I use a Bears injector and Bears and Basstackles molds. When I get more $ and the molds can be used with Bears injectors, then I will sure try your molds - have been admiring them for some time.
  15. I have bought 3 of his molds and the work he does and the service is awesome. BUT, if I buy another injector, it will be Bears medium with the 2 color injector tip. I have a med injector already. I have made some real nice laminates, by pouring one side, closing the mold then injecting. Inject and don't look back to answer your last question.
  16. I don't see how to modify my original post, but I will take $45 shipped for the two remaining molds.
  17. Bearsbaits.com has several different ones now. Twitchy minnow, craws, beetles, etc.
