GB GONE Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 True story!! Hope nobody tries to sell these! I have heard YUM is looking for the "other" molds!!! Tried to buy some from Bob not to long ago and we had to come up with something different. I think he had a hand in the baits and did OK.

Delw Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Bob designed it, sold them, some guy bought them after the fact then sold the design to Yum. Unbenounced to Bob. Yum can't do crap if anyone is making them or selling them not to mention Yum got screwed pretty bad by the guy who sold it to Yum. anyone who does business with that individual has been screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 it was my understanding that Bob got screwed over by this guy, but that's just what i heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) I got screwed by this guy bob got screwed by this guy yum baits got screwed by this guy Thats why in this part of the country he is known as Fast Freddie. I was warned and ignored it and after a little over a week I kicked him out of my shop, I warned Bobby , he ignored it and spent lots of time with him then got the same BS. YUM had Absolutely no clue and got suckered. he is not the only one, there is one more making his rounds just like FF, Matter of fact I got a letter from his lawyer just 2 weeks to cease and desist on molds that you guys been buying since 2001 LMAO, seem he thinks he can patent the bait right now over the last 6 months on some new idea he came up with. unfortunatly for him it was my stik bait and a few other of my molds, LMAO what a Dumbass. so I get a letter from him/and his lawyer putting me on notice. I would post my reply to his letter but the auto sensor would take out pretty much every word I used. Funny thing I haven't heard from either one of them since I faxed my reply to his lawyer. if his lawyer sends me a reply I will scan his first letter my reply and his reply to that. I can guarentee you guys would be laughling for weeks. The fishing business is full of alot of fools and crooks, just got to watch out for which ones they are.

HAWGHUNNA Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Anyone have this mold? What to get rid of it? P.M me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler310 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well I got three of them they aren't going to have, I fished these craws over the summer and they are super baits, with excellent action. Unless of course the price is verrrrrryyyy good. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr316 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 That sucks, it was one of the molds I wanted, now its off his site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe S. Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Bummer, I really liked the looks of that mold and had an idea for it, well that idea might still be possible though, now I would just need to find a mold which doesn't seem like it is going to be easy to do.

Richard Prager Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 A while back, Bob had some one of a kind prototypes up on e-bay. There were a couple similar if not the same as that. Did that guy buy it and sell it to Yum? Am I missing something here? I don't understand what the problem is. Not trying to stir anything up but I'd like to hear complete the story. Was this a one of a kind mold that Yum bought or was it a mold that was offered to all on Bob's web site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Here is the bait Bob came up with for me. The claws are the exact same as I had the other mold at one time.... The baits seem to be the exact ones Bob had the mold for on his site. I haven't bought any from YUM though to compare to mine from the mold I once had.

MDC Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have the 4in and also had Bob cut me a 3in mold. Both are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Baits Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Bob got screwed bad on that deal. Del hit it on the head. It would be like one of us on this site buying a mold from Bob or Del and then have a big company come knocking and we sell the it to this company as our own unique design. Yum had assurance that it was one of a kind, and that is actually the only reason that they went ahead with the bait. By the time they found out it wasn't they were too far into it to back out. But I can tell you that Yum wasn't very happy about the whole deal. It is just a shame. In the end Bob really did not get squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
