zx202guy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Folks, I am looking to pour a "line through the head" jig similar to Vertical Lure's Jig X. The part I need help with is the line thru the head part. I understand I can put a rod in the mold...but how do I get the rod out of the head when done? I would think the lead would stick right to the rod like it does to a hook? CAn I oil this with WD40 or similar to help? Is there an insert out there that won't melt so I can pour an insert right in? Thanks for the help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Guy, I think what you need is a piece of brass rod or wire, the lead won't stick to it. Another hint, keep a bar of handsoap on your workbench, before inserting the brass wire in the mold - run it across the handsoap. This will act as a release agent for the wire to be removed easily. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx202guy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks REeves, How about the insert material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcKid Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I just started pouring my own jig heads last year. I just use the pins that come with my Do-It mold. They're tight after you pour them, I just use some plyers and pull or wiggle the pin out and its ready for my weedgaurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
