Nice copies of patented and copyrighted baits from companies. Surprised flea bay allows them to be sold. Heck, they even use the same name. Won't get my $.

If you look at it in the long run by the time you buy a mold, injector, plastic, color, flake, then figure your time if you want to figure that. it is cheaper to buy than make when you can buy them any way
A buddy bought a slug o type mold for me to pour for him and I had a very hard time getting the baits from the mold even with release oil needless to say it was a waste of money. That being said I imagine all those little ridges would be very hard to get the bait from the mold. I believe the BTS has a mold close but it might take a little while to get it. That's just my 2 penny's worth
I have 6 Baitmolds soap stone molds that he made for me ( my designs not copies ) I found if I take yum attractant and lightly coat the molds both sides and let plastic cool , I don't have a problem with the bait releasing , but mold has to cool down , definitely a problem to remove if your in a hurry

It seems everyone is commenting on the sandstone molds. I think I am going to order a single cavity Keitech type mold in aluminum and give it a try. Just looking to make some colors for personal use that I can't get from Keitech.

Allen is this an injection mold?
Question everything!
I have 2 of the soapstone swimbait injection molds. I must say, they are GREAT. Like mentioned, let them cool a bit longer before removal.
I also use cooking spray with a paint brush to coat both sides of the molds. The baits come out perfect. BUT, I still buy Keitech colors and these
are for personal use of colors not available. "GO FOR IT" and you wont be disappointed. Shipping is at least a month to get them when ordered.

Its sad that companies can make anything these these days without someone copying their work.
