Whiz Jig

I asked Do-it molds the a similar question. This is what they sent me. You are absolutely right. The three jig models that you have mentioned are very similar with only slight differences. Their wide design helps to keep them from rolling or turning on their side. Weedless Sparkie Jig: This is probably the widest of the three. You will notice that the hook eye on this jig comes out much more toward the front than the others. This forward balance lends it self to dragging the jig on the bottom or swimming the jig through the water. Some people prefer y-guards over fiber guards. This mold will accept either. Style "S" Bass Jig: This jig is slightly narrower and the hook eye comes out a bit higher on the jig. The balance on this jig allows the back of the hook to rise up, off the bottom when the jig is "rocked" similar to a Football Jig. It also accepts either fiber guards or y-guards. The Eagle Claw style 730 hook for which it is designed is one of Eagle Claws strongest tempered hooks and sports a slightly larger throat than the O'Shaughnessy style 410 for which the Sparkie Jig is designed. The Arkie Style Jig: This Jig is very similar to the Style "S" with some small improvements. It is slightly wider, and tends to fall more slowly and horizontally because of this. The double holder collar tends to hold skirts and plastics or buck tails a little better than the old fashioned ball collar of the others. The Mustad Premium Black Nickel hook is one of the strongest on the market. The turned eye on the hook helps with hook ups and lends a bit more power to hook sets. All three of these jigs are very good when fished in cover. Which jig to use is purely a matter of personal preference. At this point we consider the #3387 Arkie Jig mold to be the best all around weedless jig of the three. We hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me. I bought several colors plus thinner and clear. When I had the time to use them they were all coagulated. The thinner had almost evaporated. I used what was left on the black. It worked, but I could not get the others to thin. It was a waste. I think it is a container problem too. What is the contact information for the manufacturer?

You would not have to use a T handle just a piece of wire big enough to fill up your insert or

I do not understand the design of this bait. Most of the bait that I have seen that have the tubes to tie throw, were there so the bait would slid up the line so the fish could not use it to throw the bait out of it mouth. The hook on this bait is leaded in. The only thing I see is that the line placement my help keep the bait from hanging up as much. To make this you well need to find an insert for the line and use a T hanger to place it in the mold. You could modify a regular bullet jig mold to do this. Good Luck Whiz Jig

I agree with Vodkaman, if you are only pouring for yourself and a few friends, then a pyrex measuring cup and a microwave oven is the easiest and best way to go.

Cheaper at LC. http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/materials-~and~-tools/tools?start=21&page_no=3

Will regular Elmer

Looks great. Nice paint job. I bet the fish will like too.

It sounds very interesting. Do you think it will leave a bad taste on the bait? When it dries do you think there would be much residue from the PVC, Acetone, and MEK. I know MEK will mix with water. I wonder if it would be toxic to fish. This is the link to the EPA information on MEK http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/hlthef/methylet.html. Looks like you need to protect yourself. Keep posting your results. Thanks

The Rookie Your bait must be shrinking in the cold water, changing its volume and there fore changing its buoyancy or the pours on the bait or opening up allowing water to come in. This will change the weight of the bait. You could check this by measuring and weighting the bait when it is hot and cold. Whiz Jig

They do look nice. I really like the Smoke Purple.

eugene I have never put in plastic. It has worked well on the outside.

What can you tell me about: Mustad Activate, Gulp Alive, and MegaStrike?

I use Upper Hand Scents, LC and Smelly Jelly. I have never used the three mentioned above. I think they are water based and use pheromones. I was trying to get input on the differences between them and maybe recommendations as to which one might be better. I would like to try them, but with five kids, I can try every thing that comes out. I would like to try one of them. Looks like I will have to throw a dart.

Anybody used these three scents enough to compare them? Mustad Activate, Gulp Alive, and MegaStrike.

It looks like I will get the Arky flat eye, Football flat eye and Poision Tail. I plan on turning the Poison Tail into a flat eye. It will be awhile until I get to it. Too many things going on.

Where do you get the Gama 48414? I can't find it. Or is it I don't know to break this number up?

I want to buy a Do-It mold to make weedless jigs, but I don

Delw So the 774 mold will give me the longest swim action. If I want the most action then I need to use real soft plastic. Can you dip the head in hardener to get a better hook hold or do you have to use two different plastics?

I asked LC to send me some samples of the some 3 to 4 inch shad molds. They sent #539, #586, #774, #787. Comparing 586 and 787; 586 (4

Thanks, that was what I was looking for.
