  1. I just tried to match the distance between the two holes where the snap goes, and drilled a hole to move the snap down.
  2. I went to a tackle store and took measurements of the blade and made a template. Traced it onto a magnum chatter bait blade and ground off the excess. First try the blade would not catch water and vibrate. Had to drill a hole to lower the line tie. Works like a charm now. Appreciate your reply>
  3. Anyone fishing this bait that could fold the blade back inline with the point of the hook and measure the distance from the tip of the blade to the point of the hook? Thanks
  4. Anyone know a discount code for lurepartsonline.com? SDG10 has expired. Thanks
  5. I bend hooks all the time. Mostly Mustad’s in standard wire and light wire. Never had a problem. Be careful if the hooks you are bending are Gamakatsu. They seem to be a little brittle.
  6. Is there an aluminum shortage now. Been wanting this mold for a year. No one has it and Do-It ain't making it. Teardrop Jig Sz: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1 Hk: 630 or 635 Collar: Holder
  7. I can’t believe after 14 months they are not receiving stock.
  8. Several, but mostly finesse series green pumpkin magic craw and finesse PBJ barbed wire.
  9. One year today. Still out of stock.
  10. I use the Do-t Screw-Loc Jig Mold SRH-6M-SLA, Sz: 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 and a Mustad 38109 45º Wide Gap Flat Eye Jig Hook 4/0. Works perfectly. Its a light wire hook but is a good one. I have caught bass up to 7 pounds on this hook and have never had one break or bend out. The Mustad 38108 is the heaver wire version.
  11. Fishingskirts.com must be a small player in this. I have been wanting to order Finesse Green Pumpkin Magic Craw Dalmatian since September of 2020.
  12. Looking on skirts plus.com would you say that natures edge burnt amber would be a match for fishing skirts.com burnt orange dalmation? Thanks
  13. Would somebody on here who has tons of money start a company here in the U.S. that makes skirt material. This covid crap is killing me. Been wanting to make an order from fishing skirts.com since September of 2020 and 95% of items are still out of stock. Was told in an email to them on February 7 they had an order on the way. It must have got lost. Lurepartsonline can't even keep inventory of their own exclusive colors. And forget about anything that remotely resembles Magic Craw. Sorry for the rant, know its not their fault.
  14. I bought the JKS 3AY. Modified the mold for a Gamy 614 hook and also modified for spring keeper. My friend wanted a casting jig that closely resembles the Dirty Jigs Luke Clausen casting jig. I made him 3 in the colors he wanted so he could try and see if he liked them. He called me two days later and asked me how many I would make him thinking he might want a dozen. He ordered 50. I was pouring and tying jigs all day. I use the medium weed guards from fishing skirts.com because they seem just a bit heaver than the others.
  15. Sorry listed the wrong mold. its the style S
  16. Anyone have this mold that could post a picture of the jig heads side, top and bottom. Does this jig head perform well in cover? Thanks
  17. A friend wants me to make him a skipping jig. I'm thinking a wide bottom is best. Was wondering if this Do-It Style "S" Bass Weedless Jig Mold would do the job. Any one use this mold that could post a picture? Thanks
  18. I have this problem also since I ran out of the lead that used to be used for roof vent pipes. It is frustrating. I just re-dip the head after it cools to just put a dusting on and heat it. If you find a fix let us know.
  19. Thanks for the reply.

    Spinrite

    I have an old Uncle Josh SpinRite that I made a Durham water putty mold of and was wondering if anyone would care to guess at wire size wire these were made with and what size Indiana blade? I'm thinking maybe 0.030 wire and maybe a size 3 blade. Thanks
  21. I've used it and like it. It's kind of a brownish tent green pumpkin.
  22. Well don't know where the picture went.
