Thanks Apdriver

[Mad dad 3.5" craws]

I am a hard bait guy but really like the mad dad 3.5" craws from the do it mold. Does anyone know where I can purchase those baits without buying the molds and all?

Thanks

 

[Spinnerbait packaging]

I currently use the spinnerbait packaging from lurepartsonline  http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Lure-Display-Containers/Spinnerbait-Display-Containers.html  but they are sooo expensive. Does anyone have a place where you can get these cheaper? I like this style as it fits my baits well.

 

Thanks

Hey guys, having some adhesion issues with my painted blades. Do you guys etch the blades before starting the paint process?

 

Thanks

[Custom Aluminum Molds Made]

I have some 3d designs for molds I want but really dont have the capital for a CNC machine. Do you guys know of any companies that will make custom CNC routed molds? 

[Lab Metal Mold]

How exactly do you guys make your molds out of bondo? Will it hold  up to the heat  of the lead?

[Lab Metal Mold]

It was a 2 piece mold. It was my first try at making a mold so I may have screwed something up as well.......

[Lab Metal Mold]

There is a very small area of mold material between the head of the bait and the screw lock holder......that small part pretty much wore out very quick

[Lab Metal Mold]

Thanks guys

That is a good point Dave

 

I used the high heat silicone that is red colored and the area where the screw lock 'throat' was between the coil and the head on my shakey head wore out quickly

[Lab Metal Mold]

Has anyone ever tried to use high temp Lab Metal to make molds? 

 

I have a custom design I tried to use high temp silicone but the mold only lasted about 30 pours.

 

This looks to have the consistency of jb weld or similar

 

Thanks

Jason

[3D Models Of Hooks]

Did anyone ever make the 32768 in 3D? If not I think I am going to wing it and go for it

[3D Models Of Hooks]

This is awesome gents! Thank you all for your help. I started working but did not get very far on the 32786 hook....sounds like you guys have a much better process.

[3D Models Of Hooks]

Those are exactly what I am looking for. I am just interested in having the proper diameter and bends in order to make a new mold. I am looking to use the mustad 32768 or 91768 in 3/0 and 4/0 for my new jig heads.

 

I am in no way proficient in rhino, but I can do decent and we have some interns that are good at it.

 

If no one has these I will share if interested once I make them.

 

Thanks for all of the help and support.

[3D Models Of Hooks]

Anyone know if there is a resource out there for 3d models of mustad hooks. I am fairly proficient with rhino and have some designs created but without an accurate hook model it will do me no good. I have reached out to mustad and they have told me they do not have such a thing. I talked to one company about scanning them in but that was waaaay out of my budget. 

 

I am thinking of just winging it on my own but want to see if anyone else has went down this road before I do.

 

Thanks

All,

I would first like to thank everyone here for all the help you have been to me. I recently got my website up and running and would like any comments or criticisms you may have. 

 

I do know that I need better pics of my spinnerbaits and that will be happening this weekend. I am also going to get some video of each bait once we get a day nice enough out to do that.

thanks for taking a look

[3D Eyes For Ultra Minnow Spinnerbaits]

In the past I have always used the red/white/black 3d eyes for my spinnerbaits. Just looked at lureparts and jannsnetcraft and cannot find them available in 5/32". Does anyone know where to find these?

 

Thanks

[Temporary Mold Modification]

Thanks for the help guys. I am guessing I can get the jb weld putty at Wally world?

[Temporary Mold Modification]

I need to temporarily modify one of my molds to make some custom prototypes. I have tried the poly clay and it will not harden up. Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to be able to use it then use a dremel or scraper to get it out of there.

 

Thanks
