This project has been in the works for a long time. It has always been our goal to make this hobby as cost effective as possible for the fisherman. We are very please with this initial line up and it will only continue to grow.
The general consensus around the shop and with folks that have been playing with molds for almost a year, is that there is not much lost going from a machine cut mold to a cast mold. You do lose a little definition on the sharpest points, but not much. The biggest difference is that is that flatter surfaces are not perfectly smooth and there is a very slight texture. The feedback we got at ICAST was that baits had a more natural finish and many preferred it. Once they are oiled or in the water, I am not sure there is much difference. I think it will come down to individuals personal preference.
Interestingly, we feel these molds might shoot better that the machined counterparts. I think there is a little more air released from the cavities that allow for better flow. The molds do have a machined face and hinges for perfect alignment. They are very sturdy and really square up.
We are very excited about this launch. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to give us a call.
