    Default Jig Mold


    I have a bunch of lead left over from making my duck decoy weights. I am thinking of trying to make some jig heads. The pot, ladle and mold I have for my decoy weights belonged to my grand-dad. So I have everything I need except the jig mold. Anyone have an extra for sale or could point me in the direction of a good one that will last for years. I looked on Ebay but don't like to buy there if I am not familiar with the products people are selling. I believe in you get what you pay for and would like to buy a quality mold.

    Do these "Do-it" molds produce a good clean edge. I don't really have to worry about this when casting decoy weights. Just wondering if there is a lot of time involved trimming the edges after casting the jig heads.

    SCRAP The mold I have (15years old) not sure of the brand works real good the seam dose not show. They tell you to cut the head off the surplus lead with wire cutters this dose not work. If you let them cool a little they will bend and break off very clean. This may help.

    Hey, scrap, forget Jann's, Barlow's or Bass Pro. Go direct to DO-IT, may be cheaper. Do-It Corporation, 501 North State Street, Denver, Iowa 50622. www.do-itmolds.com
