Custom Mold source

I recall a possible aluminum mold source, besides Del or Bob's, somebody had found before on here. I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know the company or link for this? Thanks.

I just had a mold cut by Shawn and it turned out awesome, as good or better then Del's quality. ALWAYS responded to about twenty emails back and forth. He also delivered the mold on time as promised, can't say enough good things about the guy!! Best experience I had so far for custom molds!

It was a 2 piece mold, 6 cavity. I sent shawn the Zoom ultra vibe speed craw and he worked from that. It took about 4-6 weeks from start to finish. Shawn emailed me with any questions and communication was great! When I got the mold back I laid a actual speed craw in it and it was perfect! Check out the pic....

Cost was a little more then Del's but he has offered discounts for "stock" molds and multiple molds. Stock meaning after he draws it up, he can cut the mold for anybody in which case he will split the design costs. If you want exclusive rights to that bait, it will be a little more. If you have some friends interested in the same molds, he said he would offer a better discount because he will be cutting more then one. Hopefully this weekend I am going to send over payment for 10" Power Worm 5 cavity two piece mold if anyone else is interested it would bring the cost down for both of us, right now its quoted at $175. Future baits I need are the Horny toad, 7" Power Worm, & 4" Power Craw. Anyone interested let me know...
