GB GONE Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Who is "Big Z" A talented, creative bait and mold designer named Zach Alter that Bob gives credit to on many of molds you see on Bob's site. Of course, mold and bait design are not his primary "real" job. Just using his creativity to add to this site and the molds available to anglers around the world... Yet to see a bait, mold or constructive idea comment from the likes of "some" that post ... My ..... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is Zach still around? I haven't noticed any posts lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Last I heard he was finishing up school. He is very creative and has been most helpful to me. Maybe he is in isolation designing new baits???? Hey Zach, come out, come out wherever you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 hey machinist if you really want to contribute to this forum why dont you make a mold that nobody already has and quit copying dels-bobs and others that come up with the design in there own time .its easy enough to to copy the wheel but the first one was a ##### .be your own caveman .... Last time I checked I didnt sell any molds to you so how do you know that I have copied anyones design.Do you own one of my molds?If so how did you get it?Go back and look at the first molds that I made that nyfisherman posted on this forum for me I have a snake that is my own desing and a stick bait that isnt like any other one that you will see,I knew that if I wanted to sell molds then I would have to closely mimic not copy others baits.There is no way,no way that I have copied another bait,I may have used it for insperation but all of the molds that I have made have a special little touch that was added to it just because I like to be different and for my molds to be set apart from the rest.You mentioned that if I really wanted to contribute to thus forum that I should quit copying others molds.Go look at their molds and I will bet that they are close but different in a few ways to all the others out there.Heres another thought,Before you chastise me for "contributing to the forum take a good long look in the mirror and see if you are doing the same sir.People like you are quick to point out flaws for others but never think that they themselves have any.Basically you are a blow hard with nothing better to do than ##### about something that you have no knowledge of,So basically keep your mouth shut if you dont know what you are talking about.This country was founded on good ideas taken one step farther by the next guy and making a different take on another idea.Look around your house and everything that you use is a part of that.Like the computer that you are using to look at this forum,the car that you drive,the boat that you fish from,the carpet that is on your floor.ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING in this world is a improvement on an existing design.Thats all I have to say on that,I am sorry to the other members of this forum if I have offended them in any way that was not my intention,its a real pain in the a$$ when someone like this tears you down for no reason what so ever.

GB GONE Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Is Zach still around? I haven't noticed any posts lately. He is around but super busy with life. He may have grown tired of the posts on forums like the previous ones from a certain member and decided to just not participate anymore... One can ruin it for all!!!!

jmik26 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Amen!! I have learned a lot form the guys at TU about baits and growing up, hopefully others will learn as well. Machinist, don't let one bad seed spoil the batch. I look forward to seeing and buying some molds when you get a chance..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I can personally vouch for the trick worm mold being different. I have seen three trick worm molds from different makers, and everyone of them is different. Some people just don't have anything better to do I guess. Saint.

MACHINIST Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hey hillbilly if you have one of my molds then send a pic so I can see it and make sure its mine tell me where you got it from and how much you paid for it.If it is my mold and you are truly unhappy with it I will try and make it right but I know that I didn't sell you a mold so I would like to know where you got it from?

Jim Whenever I email Bob I always ask about Zach. Last time Bob said he'd just been to the shop. Hopefully he'll start posting again sometime, he always has good ideas!

Smallie Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Glad to hear Zach is alive and well. I bought some molds from him and have had some great success dropshotting the baits. Machinist - don't sweat the flack from the Hillbilly. Like everyone has said, the only one that has done something wrong is Hillbilly.

Joebass Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 he isn't worth the waste of time to think about him, let it go. I am a tool designer and know the hard part is coming up with the design, its easy to make changes once that is done. I haven't seen any of his designs!?!?! I for for one want to see more of what you have come up with. Keep it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
