Big-D Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 O.K. I tried searching and couldn't find an answer. Anybody pour 1-1/12oz weedless jigs for muskie or punchin' mats? Will a modified JYS-1055 L with a Mustad 32786 hook be out of the question? How do y'all do this? Thanks, Big-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Crasher Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Big-D, Do it actually made the Weedless Sparkie Jig in sizes that big. It was the JKS-1091F. They were making it till about 2001. It made 3/4, 1, and 1 1/2 ounce sizes. I have one and it's great. I'd check with Barlows or any of the big Do-It dealers and I'd bet one of them has one lying around. In fact, call Do-It and they may still have one even if it's not in the catalog any more. I've seen them on e-Bay too. I almost bought another one a couple months ago. Let me know if you find one because I have a couple other sources I could check.

Will that mold accept a Mustad 32786 without too much difficulty? Big-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Crasher Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hey, I'm glad you found one. Yes that hook should work fine. I think I even get the 6/0 in that mold. It's a good jig. I hope it works well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Guys, Thank you, very much for sharing. I ordered one from Zeiner's as well. I had great season with Cobra Jig. Many pike were caught using Gamakatsu Cobra jig this summer and fall (I bought them at Janns. Here is the link: http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/flipping-jig-heads/345476.aspx Unfortunately, Gamakatsu doesn't have bigger sizes. I also tried Esox Cobra Jig: http://store.ebait.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ECMag&Category_Code=Salt&Store_Code=baitrigs They are good, but price is way too high, in my opinion. Next, I thought about custom mold. Contacted S.Collins. His price was 200$ per mold. Kind of expensive for me at this time. I did couple molds from plaster of Paris. It worked, but after 20-25 jigs, the mold crushed and quality was not as good as from standard mold. It seems, this mold is just perfect solution for my needs. Thank you, again.

Big-D Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 O.K. Zeiners sent me an email explaining that they were out of that particular mold and that they wouldn't be able to get me one. Anyone have another idea? -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I get a lot of Do-its on eBay. Put a search for "mold" under the sporting goods>fishing category in your browser "favorites" section and check it every 2-3 days max. Don't specify the model# or name in your search parameters because many sellers don't list them in title or description. Advise that if you really want a mold you might need to pay more than current new prices if the mold is discontinued and in demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big-D Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've about given up on the big weedless sparkie. Anyone have a sparkie (3/4, 1, 1-1/2) that they can part with? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Big-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Try Shawn Collins at Collin Customs 757-365-4636. I have a few of his custom jig molds and the workmanship is unmatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Try calling an individual named Kenny McGregor...he might be able to locate that mold for you.

Big-D Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 How might I get in touch with Mr. McGregor? I've heard Shawn's molds are second to none, but I do not want to shell out the $$$$ for a mold that is for personal use- it won't be cost effective. Thanks.

psv Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hey Big-D, Nothing on Ebay so far. I think, I'm going to buy regular Sparkie mold and make jigs weedlless by myself. I also do jigs for personal use only. I'm also thinking about Poison Tail mold. Model PTJ-3-AFM. 3/4 & 1oz will work for me. What do you think ? http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=2516&CATID=59 Regards, PSV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-D Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have entertained the same thought... if I drilled out the recessed eyes I might gain a quarter ounce or so. Still not sold on the wide gap hook though- the angle of the hook point and the weedguard seem all wrong. I've been toying with playdough and a 5o 32786 Mustad to get a master for a water putty mold. Still holding out for a while on the weedless sparkie. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
