Coosa113 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Hey gang, sorry if this is not what this forum is for, but I have a unique question/situation that I'm hoping someone here might could help me with. I am working on developing a wire bait that I want to get manufactured (actually several); I've got some interested manufacturers that have signed an NDA and like my ideas, but just need a solid, proof of concept, prototype made. Is there anyone here that might be able to and willing to work with me on this project? I live in North Carolina, and I obviously won't get any cash from this until they're in production and selling. However, I have some items I could trade for assistance. New fishing kayaks, rods, reels, GoPros, new sunglasses, coolers etc. Plus, or, we could come to terms on a cash amount to be paid once production is rolling and royalties are paid. Again, so sorry if this is not something this forum is meant for, just hoping to find a solution for me and allow someone an opportunity as well. Thanks! Respond here or shoot me a direct message!

Drew Drew, Welcome to Tackle Undergound. So what are you actually looking for? Design drawings, proto type models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coosa113 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I just need a working prototype. It doesn't have to be aesthetically accurate, just needs to perform. Like I mentioned, I already have all the sketches (not CAD, just sketches I've done) but just need someone with experience with wire baits to help me get the prototype made and bounce some ideas, configurations, off of.

Kasilofchrisn Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 You could try forum member Bob Lalonde of CNC molds n stuff. I believe his website is https://www.cncmolds.com/webstore/ He designed and cut a couple aluminum molds for me. I was happy with the transaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
