POV_Fishin Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 For resale or for personal use? Either or honestly. You don't see a lot of cnc molds for under the $60 mark. I have a couple of the ES molds. I don't have any real complaints for the money, but they aren't perfect. But as state fish don't seem to care about the rough finish. I'm currently in a long line for a mold from bears bait's I'm pretty anxious about. I hate to get a refund but I'm not super good at holding my ponies for longer than a week at a time. Not to mention I've got a couple of fellas wanting craws. The crazy craw that I ordered though checks in at just under $40 and it's cnc. Can't tell you anything much other than that because I don't have it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 My over all favorite mold for under $60 would be the Do-It 3.75 Mud Bug. It has a great realistic profile & action. Caught lots of fish on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Depends on how cheap you wanna go. If you're talking strictly injection/cnc/aluminum, you'll have a hard time finding them under 60 bucks. If you were to venture into hand-pouring, there are TONS of options at great prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the idea of hand pouring. I've been tinkering with the idea of making a swim bait pour mold myself. But I haven't hand poured anything as of yet.

Darkman Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Try enforcer mold from Canada They are my favorite mold and always the first place I look when I need something, whether I get it or not it's always the first place I look They have have this great craw mold, single cavity, 3.5" and it's just gorgeous and shoots excellent It's just under $40 and I own one. Makes a great trailer, I use it on a Texas Rig. They also have a great stick bait mold in both regular and thin, I have the Do it essential senko, and have a 4 & 5" think stick (Senko) baits in a hand pour but they also have injected mold as well and for a great price Go take a peek at what they have, I know you will love his molds and has very fair and competing prices Like I said its my go to place. Good luck homie http://www.enforcerbaitmolds.com/ Edited October 10, 2016 by Erick Darkman Prado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gettin Bit Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi Erick how does the enforcer thin stick mold compare in size and action to a thin senko thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) In size yes, both the 5" and the 4". In action is up to you and the amount of salt or medium you would use I use salt and loved the way it moved. He has both injected and hand pour, I went hand pour and love the way the cone out and the way they move in the water. Hope that's helps you homie Edited October 12, 2016 by Erick Darkman Prado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeterson Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 dumb question - can you use regular table salt to sale the lures, or is there a special type u have to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I use popcorn salt but to answer your question Yes you can use regular table salt Popcorn salt is finer that the only difference, I have ground up kosher salt to a powder and used that too Edited October 12, 2016 by Erick Darkman Prado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POV_Fishin Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 dumb question - can you use regular table salt to sale the lures, or is there a special type u have to buy? Pickling salt is very fine and not as cloudy. To me it suspends just as well as the stuff you buy from the websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I used regular table salt until I discovered popcorn salt. What a difference! One time I ran out of popcorn salt, so I tried grinding table salt with the wife's blender. Yeah......that didn't turn out well. Off to Walmart to pick up a new blender for the boss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wives get more new appliances that way. Maybe we aren't as sneaky as we think we are. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boknows Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 was looking for a Canadian mold supplier. Thanks for that Info...gonna have to order a couple. I also watched a you tube video on the Do it molds. To take the dull finish and make it shiny...take high temp engine paint and paint the inside of the mold. Couple of very thin coats...this guy claims that it takes the dull out and makes them come out shiny...I haven't tried it but just tossing it out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great for personal use, but I make enough bait's that It's just easier to buy cnc'd stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
