screamintunas Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 SLABSLAYER- Shawn has made a good handfull of molds for me and twice as many for BUCKTAIL BOY. He is a stand-up guy. I am sure he'll get back to you. I have only spoken to him once on the phone. Everything is usually e-mail. May take a couple of days....

BBK Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Do a search of his name. I've read reports on here of his "not so great customer service" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCKTAIL BOY Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Anyone know anything about Shawn Collins. Had him make some molds and now he is not returning calls or emails. SHAWN IS A GREAT GUY I THINK I HAVE 15 MOLDS FROM HIM. I JUST ORDERED 2 MORE FROM HIM ON MONDAY.

Ogajiga Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I've gotten 6 molds from SC no problem but the 3 I ordered & paid for over a year ago aren't done and he hasn't replied to 5 emails starting Nov. 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterjay Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Anybody planning to do business with Shawn Collins would be well advised to do some serious research. Most of the lure making sites on the web have a Shawn Collins thread, or at least the ones I've visited. Mr. Collins is developing quite a reputation, in more ways than one.

Jigatollah Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I had a email from Shawn Collins just last week regarding some molds he is building for me. He is away for a bit because of back surgery. I had him cut 12 molds for me and waiting for 1 more and I've never had any problems with communication at all. I'm sure once he gets back, he will get back to cutting the molds promptly. Best work I've seen so far.

Jigatollah Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 He closed down his website, seems like he's trying to close shop. He did mention he is redoing a new web site, so we just have to wait and see. Hopefully he will continue as I've yet to find anyone who does the same quality work.

RipLip Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I hope Shawn didn't close up shop. He has made many molds for me and all have been great. Hopefully he catches everyone up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallmouthaholic Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Who cares He has ripped off to many people I wouldn't give him Or am I the only one that feels this way He makes nice molds(I have 8 of them and would have another 15) but his business model and communication skills leave much to be desired.

I wish him well after spinal surgery as I've had 6 of them I agree that he makes great looking molds but I will never support a thief I know of some people he has ripped off and some have been waiting for over a year No excuse, Nothing takes a year except maybe construction but not a little mold. I also agree that his business model is crap.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't anything like this. The other thread was someone promoting a product, this one is about someone stealing another mans hard earned money.

Jigatollah Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've talked on the phone with Shawn as well and he is getting back at the molds again. I recieved my mold shortly after he came back and am now in the process of getting 5 more. If you have any issues of not getting product, email him or call him directly. I'm sure you pay him by credit card and credit card companies have to protect their customers. They can help you out if it becomes neccessary.

headstails Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 We have purchase over 50 molds from Shawn. His work is great but his business ethics are less desirable. About 20 of our molds were custom. We paid extra money so that the molds would not be reproduced. Now they are in his catalog and everyone up and down the east coast is purchasing them....Just bad business. I now make all of my own molds as we produce everything in house for our products. We spent over $15,000 with him and this is how we are treated. Lost my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number I have isn't in service. He did great on my first order over a year ago. Poor communication but his service was fast, that time. I need to buy several more sinker molds if he would call me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you what are you using i didnt know Shawn offered that if you pay extra money for a mold he wouldnt reproduce it what molds did he reproduce that you payed for that sucks!!!!!!

Domo Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Never returns calls or email. I bought 2 mold from him on ebay. I want to purchase 5 more custom molds. I sent him numerous email and phone messages with no reply. I guess business is to good he doesn't need any more business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
