underwatersniper Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Back on topic. I emailed him last night and he got me a tracking number today. Looks like my package has been sitting at the post office since 30 December. Trying to get a hold of the post office now to see what’s going on.

underwatersniper Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 P.O. has it but never bothered to let me know it was there. It requires signature so they wont deliver it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster0726 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 So how long did it take you to receive it? And will I also have to go to the P.O. to pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwatersniper Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I ordered 30 Nov and it arrived 30 Dec at PO. i would assume you would need to sign.

mjs Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Back off track ... I got a few molds from Ukraine, like the zoom fluke jr, that I found difficult to make from pop. I view the stone molds like I view pop molds; good enough for the few baits that I need. One can argue how pop molds are wrong too, but I'm sure spending more money now than when I was just buying baits. The stone molds and pop allow me to dabble in something that otherwise, even as irrational as I am about fishing stuff, would really make no sense. I see everybody knocking everybody else off. They just do it 'legally'. Maybe one day plastics will get to where flies are in that you can't patent designs as they have all been done before. Like a surf candy is just the progression of a blond. Ukraine uses the same names, which is another issue as it takes marketing and investment to get a name known, but names get knocked off in a way too. When it's called a rodent or a bver we get the reference. Maybe Ukraine is just more honest? (joke) (My wife lost her Canadian pharma office job to India last year when the company where she worked was bought by Americans,so I'm not insensitive to the importance of trying to keep our jobs in North America, but ultimately people are motivated by price) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) This is a touchy topic. I'm not here to judge where you get your molds. I can only speak for myself. I just started a lure company and I have made the decision to buy my molds from North American companies, and as much of my supplies as I can as well. I also like to buy from folks that support this forum if I can help it. Admittedly, it's almost impossible to only buy components that are made in the USA but I do try. Yes it affects cost but that's just a decision I've made. Maybe it's because I'm a veteran... I don't know. It just feels right to me.

Ed_molds Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello guys. My name is Edward, I'm in Ukraine and I'll try to give answers to all questions about the company baitmold.com here, of course, if the administration of the forum does not block me;) Immediately I would like to apologize for your English. To clarify the situation - standard orders we ship within 3-7 working days. Yes, unfortunately my country's mail does not always work well, especially during the New Year holidays, now with delivery there are terrible delays, we are trying to find ways to solve this problem. We spend much more time on custom molds. The manufacturing of custom molds takes more than one month. We also try to respond in time to all messages by e-mail. But we do not always have time to do this quickly. I hope I will be of use to you and I hope for your understanding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n bly Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 They are a rip off company. Ordered pigments and they show full bottles and what I got was colored water and half full at that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhahn427 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Soooooo Bassmaster .......... you send in an order and pay for it ......... THEN YOU ASK IF THE COMPANY IS REPUTABLE? ......... REALLY? Not too bright guy. I am suspicious. It seems like this is a set up to bring shade on a good company. I have molds from just about every manufacturer. This company has a great reputation and provides good molds at the best prices ........ you just have to wait longer. I highly suggest you ask these questions BEFORE buying. It will make you look smarter and not bring shade to a reputable company. jus sayin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have several molds from baitmold. Never an issue and always responded to emails. Won't hesitate to order from them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2marshall8 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Here's what I want to know regarding ordering from baitmold or any other foreign company who sells "prototype" molds which are close to another manufacturer's design but not identical. Am I allowed to shoot plastics in those molds and sell them under a completely different name than the real manufacturer sells them? Is this enough to avoid patent laws since everyone copies from each other as has been said above. If the answer is no: this is patent violation, please send me the links to the articles explaining this. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those I know for sure have utility patents. Utility patents are hard to avoid because they cover a broad range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitjunkys Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Wasting your time with a patent attorney, unless you got really deep pockets... I think its pretty self educating if it has a patent, you can't copy it legally. Steve parks will have your balls hanging on his clothes line if you knock the strike king stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thing is it's a free consultation. But yah I hear ya, I'm sure I'll end up using some of these molds for myself only. thanks everyone.

Baitjunkys Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 What people dont realize, patent products can not even be duplicated for personal use. Trademark products can be, so long its not for monetary gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2marshall8 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) So with all the cnc aluminum mold companies out there how do you know what can be sold on the open market and what cannot along with what can be used for duplication? Everyone copies everyone else, so this still seems like a grey area. I have a feeling that 1000's of small time bait manufacturer's who are creating these baits in their garages and selling on ebay, social media, or even just small time in their local area are violating these laws. So, the discussion kinda needs to head towards what end the "original" makers are willing to go to chase after all the "potential" violators. I doubt they care about all the "mom and pop's" who are doing this. Edited October 15, 2020 by 2marshall8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 simple. if it looks like a copy, look on the commercial baits package for a patent number and study up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalbul Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I would buy American if there was some one to buy from, some on this thread say the will help with a mold but you never get any thing from them!

Baitjunkys Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Understandable, but when you go to an american company expecting to pay a foreign price, its obvious why you don't get what you want. just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
