loco Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 the photo is terrible. i might consider buying their first alum mold if i could tell what it was...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mradamh Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I agree, my 5 yr old could take a better picture than that. They need to fix that, who would buy it sight unseen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man 26 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I may have to eat my words one day, but I hope to never buy an alum. mold again. Longhorn sold me on POP molds with the 50/50 elmers seal. I have over 20 now that I have made. Over half of them are 2 piece molds. It takes making your own plastics to another level. I love making the molds just as much as pouring the worms. It is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loco Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i need to get into that. it sure would beat spending 50 bucks on a mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Boy's Woman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Sorry guys for the bad picture. They are fixed now and I will be adding more molds. I should be getting more this week........paddle tail seinko (two-piece), swim bait (two piece) and a few more. Holler if you have any questions and if you have any complaints or comments, please come to me direct. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 The Pictures Of The Baits The Silicone Molds Make Are Hard To See Also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigster Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would buy alot more molds from lurecraft but the pics are so bad that you cant make out what the bait looks like. The paper catalog shows swimbaits from the top but you cant see the profile. As a suggestion I think better pics would get more business. They have 10 worms that sort of look like the one I want but I cant see it good enough to determine if it is it or not. I just keep making pop molds and aggravating myself trying to do 4" worms with a 2 piece mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I checked out the new molds today the pictures are a lot better. It is still hard to make out the detail in the mold. Maybe software trouble. They will get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mradamh Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I see a 100% improvement in the "new" pics versus the old. I'm sure they'll get even better. I would like to see a sample bait or two next to the mold pics, and I'm sure that's in the works. Great improvement, keep up the good work. mradamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ominousone Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The new stuff from Lurecraft really is a big step up. I have to say that I really like the direction they are heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampBaits Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 They may get to many sample requests!! I always just buy the mold, if I don't like it, I sell it on ebay for a couple dollars less. I always ignore sample requests myself, over 70% of the time the customer never comes back. Some just want a few free baits at my expense.

ominousone Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have had lurecraft send me samples.... They sent them with a sizable order that I placed. Good companies treat good customers well, and lurecraft has shown me nothing but great customer service coupled with a large selection.

JSC Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 If you are placing an order with them ask for a sample .. they will ship with the order. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman2 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Understandable, as the company not only has to pay for the baits, but the shipping as well. All adds up!! I'm a firm believer that if more people owned businesses, you wouldn't get as much complaining and price haggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Tman2 U hit the nail on the head. EVERY ONE should have to work meeting the public for at least 1 year and then the next year handle the money and make it work. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I stopped in there yesterday to pick up some supplies and everybody there was really helpful. The molds look great in person, very good quality and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have been ordering from Lurecraft since they first started up thier bussiness.In all the years dealing with them I have never had a problem with them.They always were helpful in assisting me and answering my questions.If you stay with a company as long as I have they are doing something right.I buy all my supplies from them and I see no reason to change. The only thing is the fish that they used for a logo in the old days. Now that was some ugly fish. LOL I always recommend them highly when it comes to products and service.
