What does a soft plastic lure manufacturer need from me before quoting?
Short answer
Four things: the form (which mould), the material package (hardness, salt or scent loading, buoyancy class), the colour standard, and the pack format. A brief that says 'a 4-inch worm in natural colours' answers none of them, which is why two quotations written against the same words can come back far apart.
