I'm not really sure. I had a mold on order before he went out on medical. I finally got the mold. I emailed him about another order, but got no reply
I placed a new order about a month ago and received it in 3 weeks. Don't mean to hijack the thread, just relaying info.

I drove by their listed address and don't think it's there anymore.
Someone said he might be working out of a different space or his garage.
I'll let you know if I receive it. Took a gamble on his roboworm mold. The one at basstackle is just so much more expensive.

A couple of guys on facebook plastic groups have ordered recently and received their molds.
I placed an order yesterday on their 155 drop shot mold. Cheap enough for me to take a chance and if it's reasonable I'll place another order. -

To each their own I tried it once before and had bubble issues which is not a big deal for people who cook in pots , which I do sometimes . Most of the time I cook in the micro and the bubbles drive me nuts. What I should have said was it reheats well like most plastics but the bubbles are there. Just my opinion there are other plastics out that don’t bubble at all and reheat as well for price point close to what they charge.
I’m not saying it’s junk. All I’m saying is if price was all that matters like it did for me when I first started making plastics then by all means you just have to accept the characteristics of that plastic .
Another point to consider is sometimes we introduce the microbubbles too by stiring to much or to hard
I'm always looking to try new things, which brand do you use that reheats as well with less bubbles? I got a little less than a gallon left so its almost time to order some more.

Pretty good stuff IMO. It takes reheats better than any other plastic I've used. It has micro bubbles like all plastic but dissipates faster than others. I really like it.
I have to agree. I've reheated several colors up to 5 times and no discoloration or scorching. The micro bubbles are definitely there, but I just try and stir them to the sides.
Overall I'm quite pleased with it.

The lam plate is not laminating the entire bait and basically stops at the tip of the worm. See the bottom worm in the pic to get my drift. Not too big a deal when you are using a matching tip but if you are not it looks off.
Wow thats odd. I'd probably end up with the laminate plate and tip as I do not have a dual injector.
Sent one more email to bts inquiring about their version. If I don't hear back next week I think i'll probably pull the trigger.

I've used it and like it.
I don't do a ton of pouring, just for myself. It definitely separates, but it is super easy to mix up by hand.
It reheats very well also. Definitely has some micro bubbles but they seem to seek out the top and sides and as long as I bury the injector into the plastic don't seem to have an issue with it.

No experience with the 156 mold, but basstackle is good to deal with & they have great molds. See if they'll send you some samples of baits made with that mold.
Agreed, I have a few of their molds and never had any issues. They are literally 2-3 miles form my house. I've driven by, but never stopped :-)
2 hours ago, ScottyMac said:I have the mold and have had good success with the worm. Highly recommend it. I also have the lam plate and tip mold. If I could do it over I’d probably pass on the lam plate but for me the tip mold is a must.
Why would you pass on the lam plate? I was thinking all three myself but the price is quite high! The reason BTs was so compelling was their slide bar mold is I believe 149 and a lami plate would be well under the price of just the mold from bass tackle. Hate being that guy but the molds are so similar...
1 hour ago, DaBehr said:I sent an email to Bob's a few weeks ago asking them if the are taking orders and lead time ...no response.
I know a few people have been getting orders, I emailed them probably a month or so ago and they said they were taking orders... They were local to me too but I'm not sure if they ever moved their shop.

I'm looking for a robo worm mold and I see basstackle has the 156.
Bob's also offers something similar for much less, although 2 less cavities. I know people have ordered from him recently and received orders, but not sure I'm willing to bite just yet.
Does anyone have experience with the basstackle worm?
-
It takes a while to receive molds from them usually.

Beautiful color combo! Looks just like mornign dawn! Well done.

Angling AI makes amazing stuff.
http://anglingai.com/dsm12-4-drop-shot-minna-12-cavity/ is my go to drop shot mold. I've caught more fish than I can count on this thing. Laminate plate works perfectly with it as well.Been eyeing that tee tail mold for a long time as well.
Bass tackle has a dream shot clone that looks promising as well. -
I have Angling AIs twin tail grub mold and think its perfect if you want that style. I have the BJs one too, both are fantastic. Twin tail grubs are by far my most used jig trailer.
-
I think enforcer is having a sale.
-
What would happen if you poured two colors at once? Looks like an interesting idea.
-
I've got the 4in Angling AI stinger as well as several other beaver style molds. THey're great.
I just purchased some similar molds from ebay as well.
-
Try adding a couple drops if white to it.
When plastisol is heated it's clear. Clear + chartreuse is still going to be kind if clear. The white should add a little opacity and help it out.
-
The PBJ one is the 4inch Angling AI grub mold.Just a hair shorter and wider. The 5inch would probably be identical, I plan on picking it up as well. -
I use the Angling AI 3.75 inch mold
-
I'd be happy to send you some if you'd like to see in person. I believe I have the smaller size.
-
Angling AI has 4 and 5 inch. I have the 4 inch with the skirt mold and you'd be hard pressed to find any differences.

So do we think this is infringing on the strike king copyright
Good question, thats why I just went ahead and bought one.
Arrived today but I haven't had a chance to shoot any yet. Not sure how I feel about the hook slot, I'll have to do some testing.
-
I also ordered one. Hopefully it arrives this week. I should just drive by and see since hes only a couple miles from my house
-
I have the AI skirt mold as well. Love it. I have a few molds of there's now. 4 inch heart throb hula, skirt mold, and 4 inch minna. All high quality and shoot great.
Is BTS back up and running
