    You still have to file for a federal tax ID #. After federal you have to file for state tax ID for sales tax. Most wholesale companies will want a copy of your state tax ID. They usually just ask for the state ID because you can't register for state ID without a federal #. But in some cases they will accept the federal ID. But I do know a federal ID is required regardless of any state. Been filing for my company for the last 20 years.

    Most any of the mass produced molds out there doesn't step on any patents except for some the the molds coming from the Ukraine such as the D-Bomb & Pac Chunk molds they are offering. Most of what you'll have to look for is name Trademarks. But my advise would be, if you're going to sell baits for profit you'll need a business license. All it would take is one unhappy customer to turn you in & it'll end up costing more than it's worth.

    iSpikeit.com has everything you'll need to start. If you start ordering lots of plastic, (5+ gallons) polysolpolymers.com is the way to go. They now have their own colorant & are suppose to be adding glitters.

    Enforcer has one that's really close to the Creme Scoundrel.

    The 710 from basstackle will give you more of a flopping action like the paca.

    You can use a mixture of white pearl & silver pearl powder. I do this for natural shad colors. As for shipping, regional boxes tend to be cheaper than flat rate. We ship most of our product regional.

    Calhoun is great plastic, never had any problems. Polysol has a lower melting point & works great if you're using a microwave. Heats up thin like MF.

    MF heats up thinner than Calhoun & is easier to shoot & also floats which is a plus on some baits. I use both all the time depending on the baits we are running. Getting ready to replace MF with the new Polysol medium formula. It heats up thin like MF & has a lower melting point.

    I had the same problem with black grape. I switched to spikeit Junebug & haven't had a problem with it.

    I think Curt over at enforcer molds has a big grub.

    If you're selling scented baits, laminated bags are a must to keep the scent & oils in. Baits for personal use or for jigs & jig heads etc., poly bags would be fine. If you're selling unscented baits, you may get by with poly bags. I would still look for a higher quality, thicker mil poly bag for the unscented baits just to be safe.

    We've done allot of testing with Calhoun on our crappie & panfish baits. We caught over 65 white & yellow bass on one of our single gourmet grubs, It was looking rough but it was hanging in there. We're going to be testing some of the new polysol this weekend. It seems to have allot of stretch to it.

    I've been testing glitters from ispikeit.com & they work great. They also carry the string glitters.

    Our top three selling standard colors are Green Pumpkin, Junebug, & Watermelon, in that order.

    ispikeit.com has everything you need to get started. We've switch over to some of their colors & glitters and they work great.

    Dayton motor is what Bear uses on his system.
  17. hpssports
    I use MF chartreuse powder.
  18. hpssports
    Ultra Molds has the same design as Bears & ships allot quicker.
  19. hpssports
    For injection you would need a dual injector & top shooting molds.
  20. hpssports
    The newest Polysol formulas are also great.
  21. hpssports
    BTSmolds also makes some slide bar molds.
  22. hpssports
    I found some of the Dayton motors that Bear uses on his mixers pretty cheap. I may try to build some extra ones.
  23. hpssports
    Purge your injector before shooting & see what happens.

    MF has a floating plastic, Lurecraft sells a floating plastic, & Polysol is a semi-floating plastic (floats slowly, but still floats). If you want clearer floating baits, you'll have to use one of the three.

    He's a really great guy with some great designs. He's also open to feedback & quick to make design changes if need be. I'm still wanting one of his tube style molds. That thing would be killer shot in a floating plastic & fished on a shakey head.
