Mold Maker
« on: 08/09/21 13:59 UTC »
Need a little Help. My grandfather made a jig in the 50's that we have been using for years. My cousin got ahold of it and wont return it. I need to find a mold maker for lead jigs. I have a 3oz and a 5oz. I am having an extremely hard time and running low for the first time in years. Any help?
I also wanted to thank you fro your prayers. My 12th eye surgery went well but i am still in need of a few more.
Even when i can't see, I still believe.

Ty its been a tough road. between losing my leg after many many years from a wound to amputation and all the surgerys i am lucky to be alive. These soft plastics have given me something to do. Breaks up countless doctor visits and going under the knife. But i do have the Lord in my life and that will do me fine. Ty for the kin d words.

First, prayers to you in your recovery. As for the mold, if you aren’t able to locate someone in the US you might reach out to Bugmolds.com to see if they can cut one for you. If I remember correctly they are located in the Ukraine. I had emailed them in the past about a possible mold and got a quick response with instructions of how to get my bait idea to them.

 Big Ugly, check with Bob La Londe who owns CNC Molds & Stuff. He makes customs, but it may be awhile as he's always busy. Real good guy. His website is  http://www.cncmolds.com/

Sorry to hear about your eye issues! I'm in need some eye surgery too, cataracts on both, and getting to where I may need the surgery soon.

Put it all in the Lords hands, and it will turn out fine.

Sorry to take so long to get back, but the VA has me jumping through hoop[s. I have to go to a private contracter for a leg exam on my limb then a complete skelator and muscle mass scan also...why you ask? Dambed if i know. My eye ha gone through number 13 and i dont notice a difference.
SO, ty brothers for all the love you show me and the prayers.
It says that the Lord has every tear we  cry....mine and my familys  are when it rains..
They are very polite on  email
So contacted Bug molds as suggested on this post ans sent them a 3oz , 1oz jig and plastic  10 inch eel and a sand eel. They are very polite on email;. Itys been over a month simce i sent it they havent recieved  it yet.
I dont know whats happening but i typed alot more than appears. Its MIA

Much Love Big Ugly.

First off, glad your doing okay.  Hang in there on the mold.  I have one of there molds. I think it took 6 weeks or so after I ordered it online.  Mold works fine and I have no complaints.  Just took some time.

Hey Guys. Wanted to update you on molds from Bug molds. It took almost 3 months to get my molds back. The two eel molds are great. The jig molds are good but to small the hooks hang out the bottom and the the mold wont fill and spills everywhere. I am talking to them now in hopes of getting them before spring. Hvant sent them yet still talking.

on a brighter note my last surgery number 14 seems to have done some good. my left eye is responding pretty well. My right eye as we speak. I can actually see a little bit. Praise God. It has been a good year for me besides the eye and leg drama. The Lord has treated me better than the true sinner that I am.

Remember no Happy Holidays....Merry Christmas...keep CHRIST in Cchristmas. God Bless you all.

Thanks for the encouragement!  ;D

I ordered a small jig mold from Bug Molds and am waiting on it to arrive. It's one of their stock molds, not a custom.  It's been shipped according to the tracking, but the tracking isn't great. Any times I've bought anything overseas, it took at least two weeks to arrive, if they shipped right away.

I've shipped to Japan, and Korea too and it takes some time to arrive, so be patient.

I hope all your medical issues & tests go well, and you're on the mend.

Thanks again for the comments!

Hey Big Jim. Unless you pay like $30 to ship you will grow old waiting!. My customs I order cost me around $38 but show up quick. Sometimes I just tell them to snail mail it when its cold because I wont have a warm opt to make stuff till the end of this month, Closing on a house in south Jersey right next to the Delaware river and not to far from the Chesapeake.... :D

Eyees are doing pretty well TY.
