I have molds to pour spinnerbaits and football head jigs.
I would like to pour up some casting/flipping jigs. Rather than order the molds, pour up my baits and then have molds laying around, I am wondering if anyone wants to borrow mine for a while while I borrow yours. I only need your mold for a day.
Let me know if this is of any interest to anyone. For the spinnerbaits, I can send you the wire and some hooks. My molds are for pouring big, ledge buster spinnerbaits. Football head mold is flat eye

Great idea of the mold swap.

Barlows is going to make some money out of this idea. If they were smart they would do a demo/trial so we can test out molds before purchase,kinda like a weekend rental I know I would have twice as many if I wasn't afraid they wouldn't be what I'm really looking for

Need to try this with soft plastics too. I have been debating an injection system for a while, but the mold prices seem too steep

It's only 4 cavities with a medium injector, but I'd consider loaning my Senko mold and injector if you have a a decent hand pour mold For me to play with.

I've made about 14 original prototype molds I wouldn't want to share; but I do have the following molds I'd be willing to swap loan: Home made POP 4 cavity magnum fluke mold Aluminum milled 2 cavity injection 7 inch curly tail ringed worm mold These are heavy molds and wouldn't want to ship them, but I'd be willing to drive no more than 50 miles to swap. My location is North Dallas

Thanks David for swapping molds. Made some blue gill/baby bass laminate senkos. I'll get the mold back to you next week.

Nice looking baits! I'm finally getting a handle of your mold, it is definitely less less forgiving on the temperature of plastic.

Thanks.
Yes, to get that tail and all the ribs to fill; it likes the plastic on the hot side.
Once the mold warms up after an injection or two; it's smooth sailing.
