I ordered some from Jann's Netcraft but also noticed lurecraft had lots aswell. I've just discovered Del-mart but the molds are like 85$ however they are aluminum.But I could get probably 8-10 from the other two stores compared to one. Or are Del's that much better?

Just like to know some of your thoughts.

I don't own a plastic mold that is not homemade. I make them from Bondo. They cost about $3 apiece.

For the price Lurecraft are hard to beat but aluminum is the best. Most of the molds I have are lurecraft but I do have some aluminum. If you are good with silicone, RTV, bondo you can make your own but I have yet to try. The molds JigMan posted look good and maybe you can convince him to make some for you?

I have some of jigmans lures. AWSOME ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. My mom saw a package for me and forgot about the lures he was sending me. She freaked out and I started laughing.Then she remembered! lol

Del's molds are awsome and yes expensive, but the quality can't be beat. I see a lot of people pour one-sided molds with other molds, but del's are 2-sided so beavers, tubes, senkos, etc. turn out great.

I have 3 of Dels and you cant beat the quality of the molds as well as  Del-Marts  customer service.

While the 2 pc are $60.00 and up there are many 1 pc like the trailers and stuff that are as low as $22.00  Aluminum is the way to go.

BUT>>>>>> I have to give Jig-Mans Bondo molds a try. They looks  as defined as aluminum.

I got all the stuff to do it just waiting till it warms up enough to make the bondo molds

al are the best by far but are also the most expensive.

I disagree.  Aluminum lasts a long time but I don't like how they transfer the heat of the plastic.  Plus you are limited in the contours of the baits unless you are using a two piece or the guy/gal making your molds is using a 5-axis mill.  You can get more shape out of your baits with RTV molds.  Hard Resin are fine but you better not drop them.
