Hey Coosa,

Thanks for the inquiry about this mold! Unfortunately, this mold is still a ways out on our production list and looking to be 4+ weeks out. However, if you are looking for a mold to do the same job that is currently in stock - check out our 1/4 & 1/8oz Buzz Keel Mold! It is one of our highest sellers to date!

I had that mold and got rid of it. I found it to be too inconsistent on making full pours.

The buzz keel is my favorite mold now, and I have both weight versions. You have to get them real hot, but I like them a lot better than the older style. I still pour the older style too, but not as much now.  I find the 1/4 oz to be the toughest to pour, as I prefer a bigger hook, but 3/8 & 1/2 oz I have few issues with, but they do need to be very hot.

I pre-heat my molds and keep them hot with an electric hot plate.

BTW the Style H spinnerbait mold makes a good buzzbait too.

No projection but you can always put your name on a wait list through Zeiners or somewhere else.  Won't help immediately but it may work long term.

Oh well...
Since i couldn't find the mold anywhere, I ordered a couple dozen buzzbaits from a company instead. Mold will just have to go on the backburner for a while.

Another forum member found a listing for the mold on ebay, so, I now have the mold headed my way!
