I think you mean to say Poly-Urethane resin. Polyester is the original casting resin that you talked about and you can actually make really good lures from it, if you take the time to craft them properly. Polishing should be done on a lathe, not a buffer, that way you will achieve pretty much symmetrical finished items. They will chip but quality polyester resin is quite durable too. The lure that you dropped and broke into heaps of pieces was probably made brittle by casting with too much catalyst. Theres no doubt that Urethane gives tougher and more consistent reproductions but polyester has a place too as each lure is truely hand crafted, not just popped out of a mould as part of an assembly line, too me this adds value if the lure has been made by an actual craftsman that cares about the quality of their finished product.
Roll any Joe Yee or Marlin Magic lure in your hands.... they ain’t round..... nice to try and give Bart lures a unique selling point but that’s all it is....
Andy Moyes does NOT pay his suppliers. Nor does he have the courage to respond to suppliers when chased for over due invoice. He owes a substantial amount of money and does not have the balls to respond for polite requests for money. Beware. Do not offer Andy any credit as he is a runner from any deals.
