  1. I really love the concept. But here lies the problem as with the Do-It Molds. You really can only pour one jig at a time to get any kind of speed and expediency. I have tried to pour three different cavities with three different hook sizes in a Do-It mold at a time. The problem is you have three different hook sizes so you have to remember to put them in the correct cavity, then you have to put the hooks in the cavity and make sure that they are in there straight otherwise the mold won't close. You may say that it's not a big deal, but I have always had one hook move and once I straightened it another hook moves. It seems to take a longer time to pour 3 cavities then do one at a time. My only other concern would be is this. Since these are inserts, what keeps all the inserts aligned so you don't get a mismatch. For example one insert is .020 off or the cavity in the insert is not in the center. What about a piece of lead getting stuck between the inserts. Finally when I pour several hundred of one jig the mold really gets hot. I know for a fact that the mold expands some, what will that do to the inserts, will they shift? I assume all of these are machined. If this is done one by one, then this will be very costly. If this is mass produced then I can see inserts not all being the same size which could cause problems. Now I will say this, I like the fact that you can maybe put three different mold inserts into a holder. You can then set up all three for a run. For example , put in a ball jig, football jig and an arky jig. Then you can pour the ball head first, next pour the football jig and finally the arky head. I like the idea. If you do buy these let us know how it goes. I am very curious however skeptical.
