MACHINIST Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Well I didn't have my daughter last night and my wife works second shift so I spent the night machining a few molds for nyfisherman and saint308.The one that I did for nyfisherman is a 12 cavity stick bait mold and the one that I did for saint308 is a 6 cavities trick worm mold.I will be offering these two different molds in my lineup and as soon as I get a material price for aluminum I purchased for it I will have prices.I have a brush hog bait that is a one piece mold and a another mold thatI will have to come up with a name for later.It kind of looks like the zoom centipede with a bunch of small les that should wiggle in the water real good.NYFISHERMAN is going to be here in about an hour to pour some plastic in the molds so I will post some pics of that later also.see ya later.

MACHINIST Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 NYFISHERMAN and I poured the molds today and the trick worm looks great.The stick worm needs a little work.This is why I wanted someone to come and pour my molds but I will be selling this in the next few weeks.Both the six cavity and the 12 cavity.I will have the prices for both tommorow.

redg8r Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hello Machinist, Please don't post any prices in the soft plastics forum.

Senkosam Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm also interested in pricing. Competition is good and good service even better! A web site and catalog of molds (with pics) would be a good idea. I'll pm you when your able to get some inventory/ ready to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi everyone,I am very busy at work right now and I will be getting into the swing of things in about another month and I will be selling all my molds here on TU in the classifieds for starters and then I will have my website built.When I took on making some molds I didn't think that it would take off like this,WOW was I wrong.I will keep the fire lit under my a$$ and get back to you guys as soon as I can.

Well it is getting late in the fishing year for most anyways! If you want to sell a lot of molds I'd say to have a bunch stock piled up by January. People start getting tax returns that time of year and sales are good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint308 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Not sure that Del or Bob created the Senko either. Competition is good for everyone. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think if you look at the aluminum and RTV molds available, most are patterned from (or exact copies of), the most popular baits out there. While it is good to create new baits like Big Z and Bob, Del and certainly Machinist has, most anglers want tried and true designs so those are the molds that many hand pour/injection companies want. As long as there is no patent infringement, each manufacturer and individual should, and can, make whatever molds they deem the market desires.

Little harsh and mis informed don't you think? Machinist has already brought some great ideas to TU and I appreciate his contributions. He also mentioned he was gonna sell some molds through TU classified, which helps the site.

maximusgunn Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I can't take it anymore everytime hillbilly post something it is always negative and derogatory towards someone else tell ya what why don't you come up with something new then spend the money for the machine and the time it takes to program the coding for the molds and see how easy it is ya hillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
