Have you checked out Dremel tools, to see if they have them?
Does anyone have a 1/24the ounce ball head jig mold that they'd part with? Does anyone know what size carbide ball burr that it takes to mill out a 32nd to a 24th? I really like 24ths to make hand ties. I use 32's to fish with plastic. I don't get enough casting distance from a 32nd hand tie. Those are the only 2 sizes I fish with. Since I can't find an 8 compartment 32nd mold, I'm considering milling out 2 compartments of my 8 compartment 32 to a 24.
I "think" I read that a 6 mm ball burr is what I need, but I can not find that again anywhere. I don't want to use a router bit like the guy from Weiss Lake on YouTube uses. I'll screw that up.
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass alongz520tom LIKED above post
Youtube has a video "Do-it Crappie Jig Mold Mod 1/32 to A 1/24 oz" by Kelly Mathews. He uses a 1/4" rounded router bit. Hope this helps you...

You have to be careful using the router bit, I did that and it came out like a sausage head. I went ahead and used them because it looked different. Fish did not seem to mind.

Not a bad idea but a little inconsistent to my way of thinking. The hook eye area is reduced a little by using the existing center of the cavity. If that is negligible then it’s a non issue. As for depth, I’d use a drill press and set the depth so they all came out the same. I had a Jacobs that I sold a while back as I just had no use for that size. They’re great molds, very tight tolerances.
