joshpink Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 i dont have a mold but i have the bait how much for 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 The last time I looked into having a custom made mold it ran into the hundreds of dollars for what I wanted so I passed. If you want someone to make the mold then make your baits you better open your wallet widly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 i dont have a mold but i have the bait how much for 1000 Ok, let's talk Turkey. First, is the bait a copyrighted or patented? Next, how many baits do you need to make? I ask because to get proper usage or profit from 1000 molds, you'd either first have to sell them or run a production line with many workers. So, what are you looking to do with the molds? Remember, 100 10 cavity molds will yield as much as 1000 1 cavity molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I am trying to figue out what you need, either 1000 baits or 100 molds?. looking at your other post you wanted to make stik baits so I am guesisng your talking you need 1000 baits. if you need 1000 baits , 1000 baits is very easy to do with 1-2 molds.which you can make out of RTV POP or have one made out of Aluminum. if your looking for 1000 molds thats not cost justifiable to make baits with. your talking some serious money well over 50k.and why spend that just for molds. if you truely have a need to make that many baits then you really should look at a Zorn injection system, if you dont want to spend 30-50k then you should Call them and have them hook you up with one of there customers that shoot baits for other companies. there are 2 on this board as well one in utah and one in carolina. then all you would have to do is pay for the mold and pay for there service to make your baits. a mold for a Zorn machine or any PROFESSIONAL injection system will run between 3k -10k depending on the detail and how many colors you want. they are water cooled and shoot up to 100 baits every min or there abouts. If your not to sure on what molds do or how the work read the site, pop molds andrtv molds last for 100's of baits, aluminum molds will last a life time and into the millions of baits. Also keep in mind just cause you have 1000 molds you wont be able to pour them that fast you will need help and lots of it., not to mention all the pouring equipment that goes along with it, one microwave, presto pot sta warm pot wont cut it.

Artificial All The Way Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 He has a mold. What he' s asking is "is there any plalce to send the mold where they would produce the baits for him". I think:? I assume you're talking 1 sided molds for hand pouring. In which case I guess anyone could do them for you. If you want someone to inject baits the molds will need to be made for there equipment. You'll need to buy way more than 1000 to make that cost work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a better understanding of what his desired end results are I could give him better input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sounds to me that he's down the the last one of his favorite baits and needs more made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Do a search on how to make a mold and pour your own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Answer is yes Josh. If you have a mold, someone will pour you 1000 baits. If you just have the bait, someone can make a mold, either hand produced (pop, resin, etc.) or get one machined. Cost will be based on how difficult it is to produce the mold. Pouring the baits and matching the color(s) usually is not an issue. I would predict you are looking at 0.30 to 0.50 per bait with a possible flat fee cost for the mold. Not bad really.... Good luck!!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 what would be an apx. shipping cost for 1000 baits. $ 15.00 $ 20.00 $ 25.00 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would think you could fit them easily in a USPS Large Flat Rate Box for $13.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 that wouldn't be too bad.. I was figuring it would take 2 of the next size smaller thats around 10.00 each.. I guess depending on the size of the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
