I was able to get these two hooks to fit in all cavities without any modification. For the record I buy all my Do-It molds and hooks from Barlow's just because they list hook diameter and alternates. Allen
-
If just securing the eyes use Sally Hansens "Hard as Nails" fingernail polish as it drys in 5 minutes and I have never lost an eye using it. Allen

Check with Barlows to see what they have? I know Collins molds have less tolerance than a Do-It. Maybe Barlows could send you some sample hooks? I buy all my hooks from them just because of their hook sizing chart as I feel they have helped me. Like you I am a DIY guy but I would not take a dremel to a Collins mold. If the hooks you want do not fit call up Shawn and ask him if he can modify it. Allen
-
No I have not because I bought the baits off someone else to try before buying the mold. I think my small collarless mold that I modified to take a wire guard is going to work out just fine. Allen

I picked up some thin coffin style blades from someone on BBC about two years ago. These are actually so thin that I bent a few of them putting them on heads. Allen

Fishingskirts.com has started selling the flat rubber in rolls. Allen

That looks like a SK skirt made by GLC fishing to me? You might find the color by referencing the GLC fishing site then ask Charles at Fishingskirts.com if he can get it for you. Allen

They sell small plating kits but I do not know what is involved with plating? Allen

Lakeland sells blades that big as I have received samples. Allen

30 Degree,cross Eye,round Bend, Black Nickel Jig Hook
Munkin replied to dlaery's topic in Wire Baits
It only comes in 3/0 size which is close to 4/0 in other brands. Allen -
The past several years the flick shake has done really well for me. Like you I prefer the Jackall jigheads over other ones but they are crazy expensive. The Do-It wacky jigheads I do not like because the hooks bent out on small fish and the wire weedguards just were not working for me. My solution is a modified Do-It ball no collar mold using lite wire Owner hooks and titanium leader wire. The hook shank is longer than I would like but it has been my best solution so far. Allen

The tear drop is my favorite but since I do not lose a lot of DS sinkers I just bought some instead of the mold. If you want to try the ball I will let you borrow my mold. Poured about 100 sinkers when I first bought it and now it just sits in the garage. Allen

Owner makes this. https://www.ownerhooks.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=62?osCsid=d187e18c1b199b2f83144054f7d4cbda Allen -
Any further word on these? I could us some before resorting to plan B which requires cutting up some drill bits. Allen
-
I have been using some light (17lb I think?) titanium leader wire for my flick shake heads lately. Allen
-
Put me down for 20 of them. Allen
-
This is what I do as well. Allen

Never had a problem with Charles or Erin from Fishingskirts.com nor Barlows Tackle for that matter. Allen

I had some regular base pins that I filed down where the pin goes into the cavity. This is what I did to use the 1/16" weedguards in the 1/8" molds and it worked well. It took forever to file them down and then a fishing buddy lost them so I am looking for an alternative. My next plan is to cut some 5/64" cheap drill bits up and use heat shrink to fit them to the 1/8" cavity. Allen
-
Have you checked with Mustang Wire for the forms? Allen
-
Look at Janns or Barlows under lure bodies. I would post a link but the site will not let me. Allen
-
I found the same thing when I tried to make them that the resin mix is too thick to pour. Once it warms up enough I am going to trying injecting with a children's medicine syringe. What I can add is that coloring for soft plastics works to color the mixture. While I cannot get the correct density yet I was able to duplicate Keitechs green jig color. Allen

The only thing I have like that is a Flying Lure spinnerbait? Allen
-
I picked up some on ebay cheap but they came in a lot with gold and silver blades. Allen
-
That is how it is done. Allen
