army-boot Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm looking for a robo worm mold and I see basstackle has the 156. Bob's also offers something similar for much less, although 2 less cavities. I know people have ordered from him recently and received orders, but not sure I'm willing to bite just yet. Does anyone have experience with the basstackle worm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 No experience with the 156 mold, but basstackle is good to deal with & they have great molds. See if they'll send you some samples of baits made with that mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyMac Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have the mold and have had good success with the worm. Highly recommend it. I also have the lam plate and tip mold. If I could do it over I’d probably pass on the lam plate but for me the tip mold is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I sent an email to Bob's a few weeks ago asking them if the are taking orders and lead time ...no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven by, but never stopped :-) 2 hours ago, ScottyMac said: I have the mold and have had good success with the worm. Highly recommend it. I also have the lam plate and tip mold.

The reason BTs was so compelling was their slide bar mold is I believe 149 and a lami plate would be well under the price of just the mold from bass tackle. Hate being that guy but the molds are so similar... 1 hour ago, DaBehr said: I sent an email to Bob's a few weeks ago asking them if the are taking orders and lead time ...no response. I know a few people have been getting orders, I emailed them probably a month or so ago and they said they were taking orders... They were local to me too but I'm not sure if they ever moved their shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyMac Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 The lam plate is not laminating the entire bait and basically stops at the tip of the worm. See the bottom worm in the pic to get my drift. Not too big a deal when you are using a matching tip but if you are not it looks off.

I'd probably end up with the laminate plate and tip as I do not have a dual injector. Sent one more email to bts inquiring about their version. If I don't hear back next week I think i'll probably pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
