Bassinfool Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Pretty sure Del used to make one like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yep that's the holly grail of molds it's a copy of a Reaction Innovation sweet beaver, If you find one it will prolly be on the black market as RI is pretty protective of their intellectual property. Think they even get a little squirrely just using their image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Bob's molds made one that featured two,hand pour cavities in a CNC open pour mold. I had 3 of them @ one time but eventually sold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipt Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 thought it was a linmar mold... worth a pretty penny now that they are almost impossible to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 As far as I know the LinMar molds were all made of plaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone2long Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well you'll get way more than you paid for it, but you'll have to sell it in the dark or hope it sells quick because it is a patent infringement. And if I'm not mistaken Limar took that mold down, not sure if it was on the side of caution or they received a warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The two sided is actually the one that is usually the desired on. One sided not nearly as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) 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.

Bassinfool Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I prefer my original Kodiak mold, I only bought the LinMar mold when I was first getting into pouring. It was nice to have when I was first starting out because it makes a pretty decent flipping bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senkosam Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) P-o-P molds of this design are easy to make - even two part molds.

Senkosam Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texacan84 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
