    I pour both ball head and pony head jigs from 1/32 to 1/8. I started with a 1/32- 1/16 pony head and over the years have picked several more. The only advise I have would be to buy production molds for the jigs you use the most.

    I have a lot of styles. I am working on another mod or two but I second Justin61 on production molds. You can go round head and do the Stumphunter smash to the head to make it work for 3D eyes.

    Something to consider is how much time you want to spend pouring what you need. The one of each size mold is good for the odd sizes you will need from time to time but very slow to pour hundreds of heads. The pro molds usually fit better, generate less flash, and pour 7 or 8 at a time. They cut down on the bench time quite a bit. My minnow head mold is a onesie and I like em so much that I just bite the bullet and spend the time needed.

    You looking for jigs or the mold? If looking for jigs, can't sell them if molding your own.

    Here is a link that explains everything. This is easier than trying to rehash everything.

    Keep in mind pony heads are off limits if you plan to sell! Copy rights owned by blakemore ! Also they are not what I recommend for a beginner ! You need cane swivels, split ring, blades gets expensive. If your lead is not hot enough or lots of impurities won't pour right! I would stick with a round ball head. If you plan to tie them collerless is the way to go if you plan to just add soft plastics collar with barb. In case your thinking you might want to get into it with the thoughts of making money ? I did to... You probably won't just my .02 . For me the most satisfying hobby to catch 100+ fish on my own jigs ...
