Jigsisme Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Saw some molds on ebay and most of them looked nice. Was wondering if anyone knew what the mold description means...it says "ceramic"? Is this P.O.P. Enlighten me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnG3 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 The molds in question on ebay are made of plaster of paris. 'Tis the season Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I have some of them. They are easily worth the money to me. Baits come out almost as good as aluminum and baits actually cool faster!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Jim, what did you coat yours with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I asked for mine to be sent un-coated on a tip from Chris. I use Devcon 2 ton epoxy and a little acetone to thin it. Brush it on and you are good to go in a few hours. I tried to use spray on heat resistant paint but that left my bait a little sticky so I just coated over ot with devcon 2 ton.

GB GONE Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 By the way, there are a few nice aluminum molds on Ebay right now. Prices are nearly half of what they would cost new. Jim PS None of them are mine !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yeah, they're Bass8's. I bid on one but got outbid right after. We really need to include our ebay name in our sig like you did Jim. I think I'll do that right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Good idea Mojo. I use ledhedtu and I am sure I've probably "stepped on a few members toes" while bidding on molds (mostly leadheads). I'm not looking to bid against any TU members and will back off if notified. Just picked up a lot of 11 LC molds with accessories, was more after the hotplate and cups. I would like to offer the molds, I don't want, as a trade on this site. Would rather see a member have first shot but I think the swap forum was shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Swap was shut down as it wasn't being used for its purpose. I have suggested a mold swap and have some I'm willing to loan out for a while. Its good to test them out before you sink the $$$, especially aluminum!!

madbass Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 what do you guys type in for a search on ebay for molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Mold swap sounds real good. madbass Go to sports - fishing and type in mold in the word search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Count me in on a mold swap. We need to establish between everyone involved the value of the different types of molds and what can be included as far as trade value. Aluminum, resin, silicone, pop, durham's, etc. Madbass, I use two searches. (worm mold, worm molds) and (mold, molds) in all categories. Use the parentheses for a more thorough search. I shouldn't be giving away my secrets like this! I have to admit it. My name's Joel and I'm a mold junkie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 IDK what kinda bait i would mold because yall use diff stuff then me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj_bill Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 CJ - We might share some of the same mold types. I do a lot of rockfish and ling fishing up here. I think a lot of the same lures for for calicos and bay bass. Having said that I only have a couple of molds right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnG3 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Jim (GaBassNerd) correct me if I am wrong but the type of mold swap you were refering to was more of a mold loan/swap. This would provide an opportunity to try out different molds before you purchase them to see if you like. Scott 'Tis the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Thats right Scott!!! Swap or loan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
