    Lots of guys do just that, cut collar and barb off. I don't know of any way other than just cut it off with like side cutters or something like that. I feel sure someone will come here and let you know if there is another way, maybe even at the pre poor stage? I really donm't pour so don't know all their tricks and such!

    Here's a better pic of the jig (click to enlarge):



    Like BuckeyeKdog said earlier in the thread: Lindy discontinued this jig in 2007 which coincided with the sale of the company to Pradco Outdoor Brands (Bomber, Booyah, Yum, etc).
    The only place I've seen the jig for sale in a long long time was at the Fleet Farm in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. That was last fall. It's not on FF's website. After this last ice season who knows what they have left if anything?

    To my knowledge there isn't a mold that makes that exact shape. You'd need to get a custom mold cut.

    yes, you can cut it off or you can plug off the mold section that forms the collar and barb. For a temporary plug, I use plumbers putty or plaster of paris bot of which are easy to remove so mold is not damaged. JB weld or hi temp putty and be used but are not easily removed.

    You can cut them off with a sprew cutter after you mold or like BuckeyeKdog said, you can "plug" the mold so that lead doesn't get to that location. If I was never going to use that mold for anything else and ONLY wanted it for your purpose, I would do a perminant plug (light tack weld). Otherwise, the options Buckeye said works pretty good for temporary uses.

    If I was to plug up the that location how would that effect my hook placements, and if I use plumbers putty how long do I for it to dry?
