Post by: Lines on 09/15/20 12:33 UTC: Johnny Bass, the web address you have is for BTSMOLDS.COM (Bob's Tackle Shack). It says 20-30 business days for shipping. Covid Crap may delay a little longer.

I have single and multiple cavity stone molds for the Keitech Swing Impacts ranging from 1.5" to 3 inches from baitmolds.com. Other than the lengthy [at times] shipping they have great service and the molds are very well detailed. Happy with what I have from there. Being a foreign country they have zero interest in patents put on baits sold in this country and the molds from baitmolds.com are cut to make identical copies. I make these baits for personal use, period, to avoid any conflicts with parent companies. If anyone is going to sell baits made from named molds from these foreign countries I'd suggest never using the real bait's name or make any reference to the parent company or rename the baits with a name anywhere close to the original baits name, just to stay safe.

Do the baits work? Darned betcha they do.

Most (if not all) sites that sell molds have a pretty lengthy delay right now, 2-6 weeks is the norm for the most part. They all say what the lead time is, make sure to check before ordering if you don’t want to wait!

Bts makes some great molds, will be worth the wait!

I have a few of there multi cavity aluminum molds and they shoot great. Hes actually making me a couple of custom molds at the moment. Just takes time to get them. A couple weeks for him to make the molds he already has, then shipping and customs. Took 30-60 days to get my first molds from there. Made 3 separate orders before i made the request for custom molds.
