saint308 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Does anyone here use Shawn's trick worm mold. I received mine today and it pours an awesome looking bait. However, I am having trouble with the holes clogging due to thier size. Does anyone have any tips to pouring this mold? Thanks. Saint.

jmik26 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I don't have this mold but sure would like to see some pics of the ones that came out. What type of plastic / mixture you got? Have you contacted Shawn about this yet? Working on a craw mold with Shawn right now, can't wait to get that puppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yes, I emailed him about it tonight. I am just so pumped about this mold that I thought I would ask around here as well. This post was not a knock on Shawn's product at all. This is my problem, and I am seeking advice. I have also attached a couple of pics. Unfortunately, I am the worlds worst photographer. These really look better than the pics show. One is a chartreuse/pumpkin and the other is a junebug/red trick worm. These were poured with 2 ozs. plastic and .75 TBS salt. Saint.

Smallie Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Saint, They look great to me. You said the holes are clogging which infers a two piece mold but it looks like the bottom is flat ala Zoom. Is it a two piece mold? Also, I see posts about molds from Shawn that aren't on the website I look at. Are these custom or are there molds available that aren't on his site? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Nice, those look great. Let me know what you find out, I'll probably pic one of those up. What is the length of the worm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Bass Baits Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I ordered the 10 pour Friday, waiting to get it, he I guess has a 5" and 6 1/4" 2 piece molds. Bob is suppose to have one done as well but for some reason it is not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint308 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Here are the answers to the questions asked: Smallie- It is a 2 piece mold with a flat side. It looks exactly like a zoom. It is not custom, but it also not on his site. You need to contact him. He is very good about responding to emails. Jmik- I believe it is 6.5 inches. I got a response from Shawn this morning. He said you just have to learn to pour straight down the middle. He suggested possibly adding some softner to help the flow. He also said I could file the holes a bit bigger, but that would also alter the head of the worm. I think that should do it. See ya. Saint.

Predator Bass Baits Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ya My bad, I asked for 6 1/4 he siad it is 6.5 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc_ross Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 How much do these molds cost? Cheaper or more expensive than dels and bob's? I could only find grub molds on the site and no price list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Shawn is not cheap, the 5 pour is $110 the 10 pour is $185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Here is the price he quoted me. It is a little bit more than what predator said. Here are the prices for our 5" version, I could run a 6.5" for about 20% more. Worm.2 5" 2 piece handpour molds 10 cavity $170 5 cavity $100 This would make the total for a 5 pour $120 plus $10 S&H, and a 10 pour $204 plus $10 S&H. My 5 pour cost me $130 to my door. Not trying to start an argument, but don't want anyone being surprised. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sorry, that was the price he said for the 6.5, He must have made a mistake because I got a e-mail today with all the items he sells and it say's the 6.5 is $115 and $190 Saint is correct on the 5" model.

Predator Bass Baits Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I got my mold today, anyone looking to order the injection mold That is what I ordered, I am haveing problems with it, I do not know what yet, it is a 10 pour and I am injecting it with a cyring and being a 10 pour might be a bit much for it, I am thinking the plastic is cooling to fast before it has a chance to finish the deal, if I inject it too fast I end up with cuts in the bait about 1/2" down from nose, if I slow down I end up with air pockets at that point. I just ordered the preasure pot from LC so we will see what that does for it. Here is a link to save on the board files. http://www.pvccages.com/id164.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I e-mailed Shawn about the plastic molds he does not have on his site and he e-mailed back with pictures and prices. If you e-mail him he will send all you ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
