Model #: FBS-5-ATK  3493  Trokar Weedless Football Jig Mold
I've searched high and low and it's out of stock.... Unless someone here has one for sale. Or one could be found at the Do-It store....

Thanks...

No response sucks.  There have been a few molds I haven't been able to find in more than a year possible closer to two.  The only place I have had contact me when molds become available is Zeiners.

Couple things.

We are still behind in production like we have never been before.  The combination of manufacturing slow downs, supply chain issues and continued increases in demand have put us in a precarious position.  We are still running 10 hour days including Saturday to try and get caught up.  We are also making huge investments in technology for future production, but that also takes a long time.  We do not like our current inventory position, but everyone here is trying.

We are currently manufacturing 700 different molds.  Unfortunately, we are having to prioritize certain molds over others.  Some models sell 100 times the amount of others.  Some of the lowers seller have fallen to the bottom and have been out of stock for a long time.  This specific mold is question would  fall into that category. 

As it has always been, we do take care of our dealers before we would have something available on our website.  Often, a dealer will have inventory before we have it available here.  On our website, if a mold it out of stock, we have a button to "Notify Me When Available".  This will allow you to be the first notified when something is available.  It works pretty slick and would encourage people to use this.

Again, we apologize for the current situation.  Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes.

I have emailed them about a mold I purchased a good while back that had a defect but never heard anything back was given the ra number but didn't send in right then due to covid hitting so hard really didn't want to go out no more than I absolutely had to but just wanted to make sure it was still ok to return it.  I figure short on workers and everything right now is why I didn't hear anything back.   

I have a football jig mold that is the weedless one not sure what one you are looking for?

Thank You.... I never noticed the wait list button... But I just did that.

Keep up the hard work!
