didn't he say the dies were being built to produce the jughead in production form...was the video not just the prototype? Building an injection mod doesn't happen over night!
Hoping we have a shot at them by the time the pilchards are humming around the coast though!
Should have the carved wood sample digitized & had a 5 axis NC pump some plastic prototype so the proper weight & design is achieved
Then, do you make the dies. since the program is digitized then you that to make the half's in EDM cooper to plunge the mold half's or quarters based on the complexity
Making the dies would only take 3 weeks, making the proper dies by prototyping will B the most expense, then finding a good injection shop with bang on lead times is the key!!!
Good luck lol/Troll hunter

Any idea where these will be sold? I would like to get some to try out over here in Powell river.
River Sportsman, Tyee Marine, Pacific Net and Twine, Harbour Chandler, Gone Fishin', Berry's Bait & Tackle, Tofino Fly & Tackle and Island Outfitters.
Thanks but, way ahead of you. 1st Proto's on the vids are fiberglass, temp molds made of those, then poly resin proto's made, tested, tweaked, video. Then 3-D digitized and aligned symmetrically, reproductions made, tested, tweaked, more video, then h.p. injection molds to be made. You are correct that it will take almost 3 wks to make the mold but it doesn't take much time to start pumping units out. Everything is bang-on sched for late spring. Logo, UPC, packaging, etc is ready. Distribution should fall in line. The only issue left is, when the finished units come out of the mold, they have to be ideal to work. Colours on the first run are going to be UV clear and UV green. I'm putting 1 preferred "tow hole". I'm sure everyone will be drilling holes and have all kinds of crap hanging out of them. I highly recommend experimenting with them. Some of the sht these things do is crazy.
Fish on!
Them jugheadz have a great sell'n point in the vids to show wat they can do
They sell them self in the action it present
What camera U sport'n FishWisperer, i got some prototype in need of tem Shotz!!!!...................mayB Pro Hd

How bout some prototype test'n for members
Best of luck Whisperer

I like that. free samples for members so we can advertise the results!!!!
it should only be for people with only 722 post or higher
