mikefishnfl Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I recently got a Del-Mart fluke mold, and honestly, im just not happy with it at all. It's a flat top and nearly impossible to pour due to the design. Im not here to bash that mold by any means, but im looking for an aluminum fluke mold. Does anyone else make any? Im not seeing one, and we really want to start pouring flukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmtman Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Del-Mart makes SF Round Top 2 pc mold sizes 4" to 7". Looks like a very easy mold to use with hot plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhorlings Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'd give Del a call. I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefishnfl Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 It's the 5" flat top. I'll be honest it looks like a one piece mold that a top has been cut for. I don't have the mold here, or id post pictures. The best way I can explain it is that on the bottom half, is where the actualy fluke body is. The top half is a flat piece of aluminum. So when you pour into the mold, you are pouring into a d-shaped funnel that is literally only a couple millimeters big. I heated so hot is was like pure water and couldn't pour it and im pretty steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The single pcs mold I like, the flat top mold I have never really liked as far as the shape. the round backs are pretty good also. I have one other sf mold thats a 2 piece that looks much better with a tad bigger tail, deeper hook slot and eyes. As far as pouring shoot me an email with your phone number. they all pour pretty good. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTfishingrods Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Dels flat top mold can be difficult to pour but can be done with practice. It will take practice though. If you dont want to spend the time a two piece mold would be better. Or try a different style one piece fluke like Bears rtv fluke. Its also a great bait. But keep going back and practicing on Del's. I wouldnt just give up on it. You can never have to many fluke molds. Now i have to go watch Daves videos to see what i can learn from them.

mikefishnfl Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Del, thank's for the reply! As I said it wasn't meant to be a slam, although reading it a week later it didn't seem good and I apologize! Greg said he spoke with you via email and that you guys were going to work something out. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
