Who Made Thisbeaver Mold?

Recommended Posts

thought it was a linmar mold... worth a pretty penny now that they are almost impossible to find

Why even worry about it? There are so many good craw mold,beaver types available. Bear has them and they work just as well as the original beaver- if not better. Many fishertmen are so worried about finding the exact bait  they are usually poor in their presentation techniques.

For home pourers, homemade POP molds are easy, and fun.  Check Mantase's site for a how-to video.

You can mix and match, using Soft Bait Glue or Mend It, and come up with a craw that has all your favorite features by cutting and pasting.  Since looks aren't important in making a master, seams are okay.  Just keep them as tight as you can, so they don't show in the final plastics.

If you're planning to sell your baits, you'll need to hand make your masters so you don't infringe on anyone's patented stuff.

P-o-P molds of this design are easy to make - even two part molds. Here is a copy of a 3.5" laminate I poured:

Doubtful anyone could cry patent foul if the lure was modified:

I don't like the original design and have modified the paddle tail similar to Ugly Otter's paddle or added a Brush Hog tail (pictured). Doubt he would or could sue for that and besides, there are companies in the 2014 Bass Pro cat. that have copied the ridged body and shape but changed the tail.

Very true- but folks cheat on their income taxes & deductions too UNTIL they get caught. To the best of my knowledge, they have a design and utility patent on the Sweet Beaver and the name is trademarked.

 

Fact to remember- if you loose a patent infringement suit,you are also responsible for the patent holders attorneys fees

I have been looking for something like this. It doesn't have to be exact but something close between 2 1/2-3 inches. I have looked on here but with no luck, I need it in an open pour because I'm still doing it the poor mans way...lol.. But I'm having fun and enjoying every minute of it. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction? Thanks....
