Thread: Do-It Round Head Jig with Wire Holder

I've not tried the mold, but I can't imagine the flash would be a deal breaker.

On the Lil' Nasty-- Go to Barlow's; they stock the hook at a pretty good price.

Best place to buy hooks
I have not used that mold but guys say you can do what your asking about with very little flash.
The Lille nasty should drop right in there.

Works great without the wire keeper. Best place to buy wire keeper !

This is a good mold for both ways also.
Minnow Head Jig w/Wire Holder - Sz: 1/48, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8 - Hk: 570 or 575 - Collar: Barb

My molds arrived today from Zeiner's. Lil Nasty hooks arrived today as well. The mold cavity seems a little rough and considering trying to polish it.

You can tell that Do-It molds are made from a casting and not machined, but the price was good!

It's a little tricky loading both the hook and the bait keeper wire, but I'm getting a little faster at it.

I am thinking it might be helpful to lay the mold across an electric hot plate while trimming gates and reloading hooks and keepers. That way the mold can stay heated pretty well.

I may get brave and modify the larger size mold to be able to accept larger hooks (like 1 or 1/0), but I think I will wait a few days before trying to tweak my brand new molds.

Now you are hooked. I have modded a lot of molds. I use dentist bits I get from my dentist.I put the hook in then the wire and you are right it gets easier . The hotter the mold the harder to lay the hooks and wires in. I powder paint my heads and the roughness helps the paint.

How do you remove the jig from the sprue/gate? I've searched all over the internet looking for curved cutters/trimmers that would cleanly remove it in one step but can't find anything like that out there.

Maybe I need to design my own and then market them?
