Jerry V. -  Thanks for your pictures reply.  I was thinking that was it; ( I was counting segments, as best as I could ).  Pictures, and picture angle create problems for me.   Could we get a picture of the bottom of the worm; or mold; to see whats going on there?

This is an expensive mold, yes.  Nothing wrong with asking why, but there's no reason to be negative or to complain.  As Jerry says, there is plenty of detail on it which ups the price.  Look at the 7" ribbed ribbon tail; it's $129 for a 2 cavity. Ease up guys.  If it's out of your price range, skip it.  If Do-It was planning on raising prices I think they'd have started with all of the recent new molds, but those molds were right in line with the existing product line. 

I don't use a ton of finesse worms, but this one looks slick.  I'd be up for trying some of these out.

All questions/comments are good for both the buyer and seller as it helps create the understanding of the markets needs, I don't think anyone is out of line and Jerry has handle it quite well, keep up the good work!

I can understand why the "loyal following" percieves everything negatively.  I wasnt trying to be negative. If walmart was selling milk for 8.00 a gallon you guys concluding negativity would be complaining to. Im sure not a single person here hasnt cryed about gas being 4.00 a gallon.

As Ctom mentioned we saw the worm at the Do-it get together and it had a ton of action in the water. I'm sure if you were a drop shot fisherman you would love this bait and it would be worth the price.

And I can see why it's a bit spendy...it not a simple design. Cost of the block of aluminum, plus machine time = price and I'm sure these molds are not cranked out at high speed!

If you go back in the forum posts (way back) there is a pretty good explanation of why the Pro molds don't really save a lot of money over buying multiple smaller cavity molds. Again, same amount of aluminum block, same amount of machine time for a 6 cavity or two 3 cavity molds. There is also the issue of how the design affects the number of passes the cutter needs to take to make the mold and that is probably a pretty complicated/technical discussion.

I've already offered samples.  If you're interested PM, email or call me and I'll get something out for you, but if you catch fish on the darn thing you need to post pics.  That's the deal.

PM sent Paul.

Thanks,

Jerry

Bugpac, I didn't consider your comments negative, just honest questions/concerns.  Constructive eedback, good and bad, is a GOOD thing and all companies should be happy to get both types so they can improve business.  There are a couple comments that are maybe more negative than they need to be.  Just my honest opinion.  If MY post sounded harsh or negative to you guys that wasn't my intent and I apologize.  I've been on Jerry's end of things.  It's not pretty on that side of the fence.

If gas was $4.00 a gallon and the guy across the street had gas for $3.00 for a gallon and a half, where would you go?

Competitive market for molds.

Me either.  I'm sure they stink.  If he's ever in need of a new pair, I'd be happy to sell him some.  Comes with a dog.

You're right on point, Bill.  It's called supply and demand.  If someone else sells that same mold cheaper, then buy if from them.  If no one else sells it and you don't want to pay the price it's selling for, then don't buy it.  If a lot are sold, the manufacturer priced it right.  If few are sold, the manufacturer will either reduce the price or quit manufacturing the mold.  Simple!

Boy....am I glad I fish crappies.

Boy....am I glad I fish crappies.

Yup, I'm glad you fish Crappies too Tom. 

[Lamar]

  I don't fish crappie and glad of it. Not enough pull at the end for me. I play a different game on here then some. I read most of the post but if your bait isn't a bait I would fish or a color that's not for me I simply don't post. An example would be I post very little on Tom's because I don't fish crappie and that's all he fishes. Do-it came out with some grub tail molds earlier and I never made a comment on them because I could care a less about them. So if I post on your baits then that means I like them and not just being nice. I'm never known for just being nice. Now this mold I like. I've been looking at getting a round worm and was just about ready to pull the trigger with another company. I like how it has more body at the nose for the screw and flat at the tail for action. Kind of like the old Charlie Brewer worms. Spelling ? The price is what it is. Do-it has always been fair to me in the past. If you want to talk about price let's talk about our trucks and boats. If it was all about price then none of us would fish. I for one am fishing next month so I'm going to give Jerry a call. Thanks Do-it for being a leader in the industry and always finding a way to take my money.
