    I have started pouring my own jigs, and notice do I need a special tool to cut the gate off keep from leaving a flat spot on the jig head,I use sand paper or file to get this flat spot off the head,but notice when I purchased jigs in the past there head look perfect.once you use a file to buff this flat spot off the powder paint acts like it not sticking this part of the head.any advice would be helpful,

    The heads you buy are being poured in a Pro Grade mold and doesn't have the clean up like on the cheaper molds. You are doing what you should to remove the spot, I don't have any trouble with the cleaned place taking paint. Are you using powder or a brush on paint.

    Nothing wrong with saving a buck when you can. All my molds are the (so called) cheap molds also

    Make sure you shake/stir the jar of powder. I sometimes have the same trouble if the paint starts to get packed into the jar and you have to 'push' it into the powder with some force. I think it just rubs it off the head and does not let it stick easily. Also could try adding just a second or two more to the time you heat the jig. When the head is the right temp, the powder will stick and completely cover the head but not totally gloss over right away. If it does gloss over - too hot and your paint will build up too much. Just my opinion......

    Looking to get a new jig mold... currently have been using ponyhead and round head molds. Seen a DO-IT crappie jig mold the other day, thinking about getting it. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated

    That is a interesting mold. The hooks will cost move than 90 degree hooks and you only have a short area to tie on. For me the round head mold JNR-8-1632 would be more useful but if you like that jig go for it. I'm sure the crappie and bream will hit it.

    I'm at the very beginning stages of pouring, painting and tying. Poured plenty of sinkers over the years but no experience with jigheads. My question is are round heads the only ones that come with no collar or are there pony heads with no collar as well. I see alot of pony heads tied but can't tell if has a collar or not.
