I just ordered my first Semi-Custom Mold. It is a slab jig in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 oz. I'll post some pictures of the lures when I get some made up.
I did not know it was soo expensive to have a mold made up.
Yes, the mold is a Shawn Collins mold. It will be the first time I'm ordering from him, but I'm excited to get it and make some new lures. The molds on his web site are impressive.
Let us know how you like it . . . They sure look nice (like derf says)
Look at this seller on eBay that I keep in my favorites, I like checking in to see their offers (it varies quite a bit). They are located in France and they have some different molds (moules) than those I have seen here. Check out the "moules a pilkers" which are minnow jig molds . . .
Shawn Collins does the best around and the cost is very good in my book. I have several of his molds and will get more. His stuff pours very well and he has a very large selection.
I'm a little too far away to go and pick it up, but I'm close enough so it will not have too far to go in the mail. Does Shawn have a store or is it just a machine shop?
What Kind of prices are the Collins folk asking for there molds. I guess I could call but I am only seeking a general answer. I thought of getting the eight and ten ounce storm sinker molds from him.
Beware of ALMOMAIL-PECHE , I bought a mold from them that was clearly listed as a genuine DCA mold and recieved a poorly made knock off copy , the mold pictured in the auction was not what I recieved from them . They also wouldn't refund my shipping costs money when I pointed out that the mold was a fake . Which meant I would have lost $60 in shipping as to get any refund I had to ship the fake back ....
He does the 4-5-6-8 oz Tongue mold for 125.
Now Doit in the prymad you need to by the 4 oz mold the 5&6 and the 8&10 which puts you over 100 bucks.
