Madeye Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Im not a huge in posting up my design process. However Vodkaman and Bob deserve some publicity for thier incredible work.. Around 6 months ago i decided it ws time to design 3 new lures. After making some rough drawings i conatcted Dave (VodkaMan) and asked if he would be willing to help "CAD" them up for me. Dave was more than willing to help and his price is even more attractive than his work Dave was extremely patient and kind enough to make on average around 11 small design changes. Each time i asked him to change something i would have the new drawings in no time. Im sure he must be sick of how padantic i am One of the drawings was sent off to a known mold maker and a price was aggred on. Custom molds arnt cheap but at the same time i thought the prices were reasonable considering i was getting custom product that no-one else has. I was planing on getting this mold maker to do all 3 designs but after waiting months and months i decieded to look elsewhere. Still yet to recive my molds I then contacted Bob and asked him if he was interested in doing the 2 other designs. He aggreed as long as they are completly custom as he doesnt want any legal issues. Luckly all my designs are my own not copies. Dave sent Bob the drawings and a Quote was drawn up. His price was very fair and he started straight away. What impressed me most with Bob is that he keeps in contact with you during the whole process. Your not left wondering if he hs started or whats holding him up. Any little changes he made, he contacted me straight away. After only a few weeks i recived 2 of 4 the molds. The quality is just as good as my other molds and all shoot perfectly Bob was also kind enough to include a large injector which allows me to shoot twice as many molds and works great. So if your thinking about getting into custom lures i highly recomend you contact Vodkaman And Bob Here is the 2 designs in all their glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Very nice looking baits Madeye. Thank You for sharing. Very original looks. I an guessing that there is no one that could help you there? The crab is for salt water use? I think it will look real good in the surf. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just recived the molds so i havnt released it yet. Still a long way off having the molds pay for themselves but hopefully these new lures that are complete customs will turn things around.
