Custom Made Jig Mold

[brian g]

With winter here and lakes starting to ice over I would like to pour some jig heads for bass fishing. I've been trying to find production molds for 3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz. weed less football heads. 3/8 oz. weedless Eakins style jigs. I want one mold for each type of jig with the capability of pouring 4-5 jigs in each mold.

Any suggestions ?

Do-It has a 7 cavity 3/8 oz football mold FBB-38.

You might check out hi tech lure molds. They'll make anything you want. But I'll bet is isn't cheap. I looked into it once for a plastic that I was making. The mold was going to be $400 so I passed.

Settled on do it molds football head. pours 1/4 3/8 1/2" oz. one each. You would think they would have one where you can 4-5 same size ones.

Dutch the FBB 38 doesn't have weed gaurd. But thanks for responding.

If you are going to make very many jigs, Shorty's Hook Sales has really good prices by the 1000 count. I have had really good luck with Mustad hooks over the years, but I'm hearing that Eagle Claw has come out with a better line than they used to have.

BTW: Putting in weedguard slots in a mold is a bitty bit of work and a dremel tool.

thanks for the tip. never thought about dremel tool for weed guards.

Dutch is right, a dremel tool works great. What I have done before is buy a weedless football head mold from Do-it and cover up the weedguard slots with hi temp JB Weld and sand it flat on each side. Then I take a hack saw blade and make a slit in the JB Weld for a wire weedguard, works like a champ. I just don't care for brush weedguards on the river.
