Fish N Chips Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 http://www.basstackle.com/3_5_BT_Bomb_p/557-1-1.htm This looks close. Bass Tackle has some others that look good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Does anyone know where I can find a mold similar to reaction innovations smallie beaver bait? You won't find much that is very close as they have a patent on that bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 If you do find one, be prepared to pay a very hefty price to actually get it and keep in mind that any baits you make can't be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yep del made it for a short time and they go for a hefty price when they do show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 For your own personal use, a plaster of paris, two piece mold is not hard to make, and works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majic man Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 For the record. Even making for personal use is a violation of a patent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock's Lures Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well then, guess I won't be making one of those!! Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If RI is big enough to climb in my boat and check my tackle bag over my objections, they're welcome to give it a try! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have $ to burn , can make your life miserable and cost you $ in legal fees - why even waste time challenging them? Bear's Baits has similar baits(injection molds) that work just as well- he can even customize them - if you want to spend the $ If you like the Beaver Baits from R.I. and desire an exact copy,just buy them and you'll save $ in the long run.

I don't fish them. My point is, if I want to knock something off for my personal use, I will and keep it to myself. Nobody's coming to look in your boat or tackle bag. From a legal standpoint, without some dang overwhelming evidence, law enforcement couldn't get a warrant for it. I know a judge. Nobody else is looking, period.

XFactorTackle Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Why do so many people feel the need to copy RI on that bait? As mentioned above, there are similar baits that work well. Create your own, do some R&D, in the long run you'll be happy you did. Jeff btw, the owner of RI is on this forum which makes it pretty easy for him to track down guys that are copying his baits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Why do you think so many people are copying his baits? Also, just because your a member of this forum doesn't mean you knock off any baits. You fellows that own a bait or two need to get over yourself. As you said, there are too many mold companies out there producing fantastic baits for me to knock off anything. Not worth my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
