    I live in warm sunny SoCal, but I still heat the hook and collar area on 90% of the jigs I pour. Air trapped in molds will only give you a minute incomplete fill. If you are heating your hardware and still getting bad pours it's a lead flow problem. Clean your spout. Wear gloves and ream out the spout with a piece of wire. (spinnerbait wire form) Be careful! Also placing the lead nozzle all the way down into the pour hole can prevent air escaping from the top. Gravity is your friend. I like the nozzle about 1/4" above the mold. Everyone has there own way of doing things. So do it anyway you want, I am just trying to help. Good Luck.

    A Ladle (Apdriver) and more Heat. I prefer to make my Bladed Jigs with the Poison Swingtail Mold and a home made Wire Form. You do have to tie a Bait Keeper using this mold, but it has one less collar that needs to fill. Also it has no weed guard hole, so the top looks a lot better. Please check out my posts(2) and pictures on this thread. (click below)

    Clean Lead Strong Fast Lead Flow Frankford Arsenal Drop Out Perfect Pour - Right Down The Middle Venting All of the above help, but the mold was not designed to have 2 hook eyes blocking the lead flow to the collar area. Heat is your friend.

    The main problem is the cool hardware blocking and solidifying the lead too quickly. Lay hook and figure 8 link in mold. Heat hook, figure 8 link and collar area with a propane torch. (quick blast) Close mold, pour jig. Your percentages are going to be a lot higher after heating your hardware. Give it a try. Good luck.

    Google - solid welded rings for fishing lures. If you want to put a hook on a jig like your picture, you need jump rings. Jump rings need to be silver soldered to closed the gap. Any good saltwater Tackle Shop should have them.
