Dink Mendez Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I notice there has been some of the new yamamoto senko used molds for sale. I was just curious because the molds are the prefect approved senko. I use Del molds- I was just surprised to see the new USED molds for sale so quickly. Is there some thing wrong with the molds?

Bassinfool Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nothing wrong with mine, I love it. Makes really nice baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Are you talking about the essential series molds? Because they have like a sand paper finish to the bait. That may be why people dont like them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here is a good link to the do it forum to get a good comparison of the baits. http://custombaits.com/index.php?topic=6652.msg49536#msg49536 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATFLATTIE Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wow, after looking at the side by side there isn't much of a difference at all. The fish certainly won't notice IMO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 No it's certainly not enough for the fish to notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have the mold . It's ok , not great but ok I have had problems with it. I had to open up the gate some to keep it from denting so bad but this is my experience with the mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've read a few reports how they don't like the doit logo on the bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteZipczech Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 As I understand it the do-it on the bait was required by Yamamoto in order to liscence the production of the mold. That way no one confuses it for a "real" GYB Senko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhains Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wow! I didn't realize they have their name on the actual bait itself. That is a deal breaker for me. I was considering selling the stick bait molds I have to purchase a few of these. They definitely don't mention the "Do-It" name being on the bait in the description. But if you look real close you can see it in one of the pics. Too Bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own one, just curious why I see 7 different times for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wouldn't a sand paper finish catch more water, and increase the bait's action even more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteZipczech Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 In the side by side photos I saw on do-its forum it was pretty hard to even see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone2long Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've seen both, the essential series is sand casted in their foundry so it has a sand finish if that makes any sense but I applaud them for creating this lineup I haven't met a fish yet that requires a machined finish on plastic bait, we as fishermen have lost touch with reality when we require super smooth perfect symmetry and tight tolerances in a mold. I'm happy with my Del's combo mold 4" and 5" 2 cavities each identical to the senko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my first, crude hand pours caught fish any of the baits in the essential line will do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) That fact is though, if you are selling baits they need to look good to the fishermen buying them. And if your selling them, you don't want Do-it's name on the finished product. Edited January 31, 2015 by joelhains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have a Dels 5" custom eight cavity. Same as Senko and shoots perfect baits every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem with Dels is it may take you forever and a day to actually get your mold if you have to order through him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
