I think it’s awesome to see the behind-the-scenes look at the products that are getting shipped to your door. feels even better to be supporting good people.
This video hopefully explains a lot about the waiting that we have to do to folks who were unclear on the process. I commented on FB to someone who asked why they didn't just have surplus on the shelf to fill orders, and this backed up my response. Josh explains his process so well, it was so much fun to watch. He's really figured out the best way to maximize during this growth period in a smart fashion, solving the question of how to get bigger, but not do it too fast, or too big - which could really hurt a small company like this. Thanks for pulling back the curtain, looking forward to the rest of the trip. 👍🏼👊😎
I should also say...it is so cool to see the relationship you have formed with your various suppliers such as AI, Jettson Eyes and Dead On Plastics,etc... What is even more cool is seeing them acknowledge what your channel has done for them. So awesome that you have developed such a great relationship with not only your customers/viewers but also your suppliers. 👍🍺🎣
That's pretty cool, especially since it's right in my home state. Looks like a really awesome operation he has there. I have to hand it to him, to be able to grow his business, despite Covid and our governor doing their best to shut business down.
This was a fun video for me to watch! The industry has come a looong way since the days of hand carved patterns and hand poured pattern plates which were then sent to a foundry to have aluminum castings made. I worked with Greg Garst in Sabine Manufacturing's mold department from '89 to '92 doing mostly finish work on the molds built there. If you're old enough to remember the Riverside product line, I did all the finish work on those molds. On the bottom of the Big Claw, where it said "copyright Hughes 1990" I'm the guy who stamped that into the molds. That was some really interesting work. I was there when we first began hearing of CNC being used to mill out and build molds. The technology has greatly advanced since those days. Thanks for taking us along.
I know I appreciate what y'all do.... I mean this is by far my most favorite hobby to date!!! Such a cool story about an American business venture, and a dream come true.... I wish y'all the very best!!! Got my support for life!
What an Incredible Story behind the scenes !! Brilliant Business Mind !!!! Thanks for taking us into the "Mould Making" processes!!! I can see a bigger workshop being needed in the next 1 -2 years !!!!
As a person who have been inside that shop and given a tour of the facility by Josh I can reaffirm that what was presented in the video is just the tip of the iceberg. The professionalism, dedication, skills and efforts to make thigs happen in there are on a different level. Angling AI is one of a kind. I'm their customer for life. Also DeadOn plastic is located in the back of the shop and I had the privilege to talk to the man behind the scene who make things happen on that department. Amazing story and products there too.
What's nuts to me is that ppl like my dad did this same thing without the computer- by hand. How he made some of the things he made I don't know- they had all kinds of gadgets and tools to help them- but when it came down to detail they literally did it by hand by turning handles on a clamping fixture that had an x, y, and z axis. My dad told me once it was like learning to draw with an etch-a-sketch in 3d. He made some beautiful art in his spare time- not only was he a machinist but he was also a master woodworker and luthier- and a decent electrician. They don't make them like they used to- he grew up during a tie when you had to do everything for yourself so- he learned to do just that- everything.
Awesome video. I stopped in to get plastisol and colorants that day. I had the pleasure of meeting you that day and got a picture with you. You do amazing work!!
Wow, Chris, that was really cool. After listening to Josh and how much he cares about his company, it's easy to see why they are the premier mold maker. Thanks a bunch!
That was an awesome video, and exactly what ive done for a living since 1986, Cnc programming, machining and a toolmaker... AMEN, I really missed my calling there
Best molds in the business!!! You have taught me a lot and angling ai molds are awesome. They really do the research to make the baits have an unbelievable action. Two of the best in the business in this video. I appreciate both of you.
I started buying the molds due to stores were sold out of baits and the help of Worlds Worst Fishing video lessons! F.y.i. folks it your a true fisherman, you will save monies by recycling your plastisol!!
American dream. Love stories like this. Good for him. And good for you its great to see people take risks and making it doing what they love. Heck yeah!!
I live right across the boarder from Michigan and trust me you never get use to the cold weather around here lol great work can't wait for the next videos!!
I love this cause any other manufacturers would be terrified goes to show how much trust these guys have in there product and the consumers ... Thank you !!!
Fellow machinist here! I love haas machines. Look into their dt line. Super fast spindle speeds and rapid travel. You can really crank parts out with them.
What an awesome video! I tell you what Chris, you guys are so personable (you, Josh, and Travis). What a great company and so awesome to see how you all have grown! Definitely makes me only watch World’s Worst Fishing and only use Angling Ai and Dead On!!! When are you gonna get a custom WWF wrap on your truck?🤣
I love the behind the scenes videos! It gives you a better perspective of how much effort goes into what you are spending your hard earned money on. Nothing but respect for them. Next we need to see the behind the scenes for DEAD ON!
Welcome to Michigan Dude!!! I live in Michigan and had no idea that Angling AI is stationed here and dead on. I live in Northern Michigan but it just gets cold everywhere here. I thought it was funny what you said about snow. I just see it as a ruin to my regular bass fishing to go ice fishing.
Haas machines! Love it. I’m an engineering student and learned on those 3-axis mills. I’m saving my pennies for a home “desktop” CNC so I can start milling my own injection molds. Watch out Angling AI, in 35 years or so, I’m coming for ya. 😅
I’ve got ssooooo many questions? How many processes does it take for a single cavity open mold? How small of a ball mill do you use? Why can’t you chamfer inside the machine instead of have a separate process!?!? I need answers?
Awesome! I’ve ordered from a few companies but by far Angling Ai takes the #1 with quality and overall ease of bait making! Keep up the great work guys! I’m sure I’ll be ordering more soon 🤣
@@WorldsWorstFishing oh don't worrie i did all the way over here in Australia theres not alot of this going on and i certainly can't visit there shop.. this is a fantastic insight...cheers mate
LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE Amazing!!! This is one of my favorite videos by far, man. Glad you got to do it! Hey what happened to your outro music? Hasn't played on the last 2 or 3 vids
Thank you for posting several nice movies always. I am always enjoying to watch your movie. Do you have any idea what type of aluminum they are using for their aluminum molds please? Is it 6061 or 7050?
Did not know that AI was in my home state and only an hour and half away. Maybe I can get a job there as an CNC Mill operator but that is wishful thinking and my wife would be pretty upset if I took job that far away. Love the content.
amazing facility . I had a confirmation email from AI saying my order of 5" openpour swimbaits where in production on friday...I believe i just saw 1 of them being born! lol! Love these molds!
Awesome video. Too funny that you are in Michigan at AAI (45 min from me) and I'm in Arizona and I'm going to meet up with Del (Del Mart) Wilcox and see his shop here later this week.
Hi Chris love your videos it s inspired me to start making my own baits just wanted to know if you get your injectors from angling Ai that information would help me out.
Waiting to see if AI will do a good replica of a 4” bluegill injection with a hook slot. Very slim pickings and none with a hook slot I know about. Everything is the classic swimbait profile. We don’t have shad up here in New England.
😂 so cold for you .. hands shacking camera catching your breath almost 😂 ... oh man ... thanks for the behind the scenes dude appreciate that cool to see how and where it’s done right at. Gotta love AI molds and the grass roots kinda story behind it all .. 👊😎🍻
I’m just curious, not that I can afford one but does he do custom molds. Such as, a mold with action worm a brush hog a curly tail worm and a craw all in the same mold? Or can you even shoot a mold like that with various types and have it come out good?
One of my favorite videos I've gotten to do! Thanks for watching 🙌
Wassup
Awesome man! glad you got to do that trip!
This was awesome and an amazing experience for us but you more so getting to be there! Thank you!
You were up by me! Would have treated you to some beer!
no problem bub. i started making baits because i seen your like first videos. love the work you do keep it up
A lot of hard work for us this weekend. Glad we got everything in on time. Still very fun.
Yessir
You need to make a rage swimmer...
What was your first small machine the one before “blue”
Ty for allowing the filming and making the Florida boy see winter.
Angling AI needs to make a lizard mold
I think it’s awesome to see the behind-the-scenes look at the products that are getting shipped to your door. feels even better to be supporting good people.

I work at a machine shop and it is AWESOME to see how another shop works. We make gun parts and parts for industrial machines.
Very cool!! Amazing stuff

Sweet
Chris you need to come visit in the summer when Florida is too hot and enjoy some world class smallie fishing on Lake St Claire.
Best molds in the business!!! You have taught me a lot and angling ai molds are awesome. They really do the research to make the baits have an unbelievable action. Two of the best in the business in this video. I appreciate both of you.

Great video, seems like a great company. I ordered from them a few months ago and the molds are awesome.

Yessir
This video was awesome!! Super cool that they let you run through the whole production process and really cool to hear the history from the owner!
Appreciate it
I work quality at a cnc shop and the guy deburring is masterful at it. Makes it seem effortless.
They get lots of practice
Cool to see the process of how these molds r made. Luv AI molds!!
This was fun.. I enjoyed seeing this production shop, seems like a group of good people.. Fun video.
This helps me understand why my molds take awhile. They do a good job over at A.I. I need more molds from them soon.
Amen
I know you posed a couple of days ago, but I was waiting for this😂
Best video eva

It's cool
Haven't started to watch but this is gonna be sweet I know it
One of the best we've done
Man that brought back some memories of my time at a machine. I do not miss the smell of that coolant when it needs to be changed though lol.
It definitely has an odor
@@WorldsWorstFishing like sweaty feet and rotten eggs. Lol
I just got back from a tour with DownSouth lures company down in San Antonio Texas area Fantastic company. I learn a lot from them.
Thank for showing us about Angling AI company. Great job Chris
You do some great videos! I would like to see some more on panfish if you got any good molds.
Awesome video. Too funny that you are in Michigan at AAI (45 min from me) and I'm in Arizona and I'm going to meet up with Del (Del Mart) Wilcox and see his shop here later this week.

and some of my orders are probably on that table per my recent email.
One of the coolest videos on your channel! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
I hope my three molds were on that table because that was a really cool video.
these molds looks supper great. Is it make of Aluminum ?
i'm from Minnesota and its normal for snow all fall and winter here
Hi Chris love your videos it s inspired me to start making my own baits just wanted to know if you get your injectors from angling Ai that information would help me out.
Love that they are in my home state. Am sorry the only one that noticed the de bure guy had a spitter on his cart.
Super cool to show start to finish
Hi Chris, This Mustafa your big fan from Turkey,İstanbul
I really like and appricate your videos and works.
Thanks a lot
Thanks, greetings from Florida
thats so awesome must have got them big checks to buy so many machines not even working for so long
