Default Any of y'all got this mold?

Do-it Molds: Round Socket Eye Jig
(The one for 1/8 thru 5/8 oz.) I'm assuming a 1/0 hook can be used in the 1/4 oz. mold??

I don't have it, but every Do-It mold I've used will take at least 1 hook size up or down than what's printed without modifying the mold.

If you don't want to spend the money for this mold just make round heads and file the sides flat and then you can put your stick on eyes on the flat.

Thanks Smooth. Just been pondering pouring my own, and this one seems to cover what I'm wanting.

No need to file away the lead (which clogs up files anyway).

Just use a pair of parallel-jawed pliers or a small vise and give the round-heads a little "squash" and bingo, jigs with flat sides.

This is how I make my 'aspirin' style jigs too.
