Lac_Attack Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 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. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted February 15, 2008 Super User Posted February 15, 2008 I don't own a plastic mold that is not homemade. I make them from Bondo. They cost about $3 apiece. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 al are the best by far but are also the most expensive. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 15, 2008 Super User Posted February 15, 2008 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? Allen Quote
basspro96 Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 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 Quote
cwen Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 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. Quote
StatosDadRI Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 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. Quote
Other. Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I don't own a plastic mold that is not homemade. I make them from Bondo. They cost about $3 apiece. Bondo looks like carmel... Can you eat it? Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 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 Quote
Infidel. Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 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. Quote
