Dang Brent, sorry to hear that!

One of our members owes me for some hooks, not worth raising a fuss. But, $200 is a fair amount. If its the same person I assume that unexpected financial or other strain compromised his ability to honor his debts. Sorry TF, might have to let it slide.
BTW that is a simple but gorgeous slab!

Hate to hear this TF, 200 is a lot of money in jigs and pouring. I hope you get paid. I did the same and got burned from a member but got most of the money... Sometimes we misjudge and get burned and sometimes things come up that they have no control over but it would be good to hear from them. Good luck, not sure what you can do to recover your lose.

I really, really feel bad about this. $200 is a chunk of change and while unexpected things can happen you just don't avoid contact, it just isn't right. I hope it isn't a member here, this is one place where everyone is extremely generous, I had got stuff from guys when I was down and out and I have paid that generosity forward by giving others here stuff when they didn't have it and this site is the only one were the members here I consider friends. I hope it is a giant misunderstanding and it gets solved but if it doesn't, I hope it doesn't spoil the feeling and attitude here, I hope it works out for you TF.

I sincerely hope you get paid. For that amount of $$$ I would have to have it first before it is sent out unless you've dealt with them for a long time and built up trust with that person. You did a great job on those, killer looking bait.
Thanks for the support my Friends . Its not the cost of the molds so much as my reputation and that of Jig Craft . We all goof up or have bad events happen . But If you don't tell someone they can't help . I'm the worlds worst at remembering to get back on things . why I got the wall pasted with sticky notes . The molds actually belong to a guy I feel like is my little brother . Been mentoring him a while and invested money in molds for him . He has top notch , A1 , business ethics . He and I even now are as worried about him as we are the investment . The whole situation just don't add up .
Jungle that bait is a slab and one heavy puppy . I dip my slabs in vinyl spray the throats put on the eyes dip in klass cote epoxy . Then clean the line ties . You can make about any good or bad casting look good that way . Thanks for the thumbs up .

Attica must have caught all the off posts & took care of them before I read them because this is about the most 'gentleman'ly board I've been on.
And for those who know me, I've been knows to cross the line before.
Good job to all the members

Sorry to hear of the trouble Brent,,,Hopefully he man's up and gets you taken care of...
Believe it or not hookup,there have been very few posts or issues that had to be removed,this is the least moderated board Ive ever been a part of.That tells you what a quality group of people we have here.

Hey even in our political squabbles. We may have even taken our guns out. But we never did load them up.
Lets hope that it was a foul up and will get straightened out ASAP.

I agree with the rest of you guys, this is the best bunch of people to ever make up a forum....EVER!!! I belong to boards were guys get run down and beat up just for not using a search function along with just to be plain mean but not here and I commend TF for venting his frustration and alerting us while refraining from public shaming, that takes a lot of restraint when you are out that amount of money. Anyway, it does feel good to be part of, and accepted, by a group like this, even the minor squabbles are settled quickly and admirably while still staying cordial to each other, it really is a unique place with a unique group, maybe the world would be better if everyone was a jig crafter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
