  1. Any idea of a mold that is close to the keitech swing impact swimbait? I have a ripper mold but like me its to fat for my taste.
  2. Oh no, I didnt see that. I do not think thats the same mold I have. Mine has 3 cavities and was $35. They must be different.
  3. Morning folks, I am looking for some suggestions on a mold that would match the bass pro shops speed shad type bait. I have the do-it ripper mold but the baits are fairly large and fat for a 3 1/2" swimmer for smallmouth. Does anyone know of a mold that would match the bass pro shops swim shad in not only length but thickness?
  4. Why when browsing the classified adds why do the pictures not show in the thread and it adds a link instead? Is there a setting or something I need to do on my end?
  5. Thanks,. I just received an email back from Barlows stating the exact same thing Ordered 100 1/0 just to see what they are like. Thanks again.
  6. Thank you. I added it, if a mod could delete this post I would appreciate it. Thanks again.
  7. Morning folks. I am searching for a hook that is similar to the eagle claw 574 extended shank hook that is not bronze. For some reason, for me, the bronze hooks rust extremely quick so I am looking for an alternative to the 574 but it needs to be an extended shank as I will be using it with the ripper mold plastics and other swim bait type plastics. Anyone have any suggestions on what hook I can use, something that will fit in to a mold like below. 1/8th and 1/4 is what is mostly used so most likely 1/0 to 2/0 hooks.

  9. I am assuming thats why the mold was so cheap. I think I paid like $35 for the 3 cavity
  10. Ok thats kind of what I was think what aulrich said. I didnt realize the pictures didnt match the mold, thats kind of funny that I was fooled. I think what I can do is just shoot a color, take the baits out and cut them in half, put them back in the mold and then shoot the top color. Interesting, thanks guys. Would a dual injector type setup shoot both colors? I havent really used a dual injector so I am not really sure how that works but i will read up on it.
  11. Just received the ripper mold, 3 cavity injection mold. But I am at a loss on how to do laminates with these types of molds. For instance in the attached picture the top part of the swimbait is blue where the bottom is white. How would you get these two combined colors with an injection mold. I understand for something like a senko you can open the mold up, pour color into one side, let it cool and then inject the other side for a different color. But for this mold you cannot do that and if you did the sides would be different colors not the top and bottom.
  12. Just wanted to let you all know I made a purchase this week from Zeiners. Jim answered all my questions about the mold before purchase extremely quick and I had the item within 2 days.. I highly recommend this place if you folks are thinking about buying some molds or any other items. What a great experience. Just a quick note, I have no affiliation with Zeiners and it was a just a regular purchase of a mold but they were so helpful I just wanted to add a quick prop for them since most of the time we are quick to point out the bad.
  13. Could not find that mold on their site.
  14. Either reply or send an email to erney@comcast.net
  15. Will do, just sent an email to them. Thank you.
  16. Sorry I should have put in my post, anyplace besides BTS molds.
  17. Can anyone help me find someone who makes this mold or has one for sale? Its a 4 inch minnow twisty tail.
  18. Placed an order on Jan 16th, after numerous emails, facebook messages and unable to leave a voice mail on the phone, I finally resorted to contacting my credit union. They disputed the charges, refunded my money back and gave Bob 50 days to respond. I am done playing around, 10 weeks, no response no thanks he can keep the molds. I seriously think something happened to him because after all the rave reviews on this site he should have responded to someone recently.

    Man those are awesome. If you are interested in selling a few contact me at erney@comcast.net
  20. Good idea, those are some fairly common molds you are looking for. Might be able to get a do-it mold for them from barlows or janns net craft. The only reason I ordered from BTS was he was the only one I could find that made a minnow twisty tail type mold.
  21. Ordered a mold from him on 1/16/2017, they took my money right away and got emailed a receipt. February 16th I started emailing him - nothing, next I called him - couldnt leave a message as the message box on the phone was full, sent messsages to him on facebook and no reply. I am now in my 7th week of waiting for my mold - I will contact my credit card company on Monday and see what they can do for me and if possible reverse the charge. What a horrible horrible way to do business, I dont care if this guy is a one man show or sooo very busy, he needs to take time and either post a message on either his business page or on his facebook page telling his customers that there is a back log, not just ignore them outright. I will never ever order from this guy again, ever.
  22. How do I get to the classifieds section? The link in "The Bait Shop" sends me back to the general forum?
  23. jig man thanks for the reply. Any chance you could show a pic of that mold? I have a regular tube mold head and i might do the same that you did.
  24. Does anyone know if a mold is available to make some lead head tube jigs similar to the oldham tube jig head with the full wire weedguard?
