SPAZ Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm looking for a mold similar to the one that Gary Loomis and Targus is using. Has anybody seen a mold like this for purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Looks like a football head jig to me. Probably a 3/8oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Looks like a football head jig to me to. But a hole drilled threw it with a dowel inserted on two sides to stop the lead flow on the head for that cupped look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedHed Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Spaz You might want to get a custom mold made. Shawn Collins might be able to help you out. I have one of his football jig molds (with a hitchhiker) - excellent mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTimeBuzzer Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 If I could see one of the heads (in hand) I maybe able to come up with something very close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) Do you think if I purchased a mold I would be able to accomplish this? The only way to find out is to take a risk and try it. I would do it with a dremel small hole first from the inside. Then folowing it with a drill press on the out side of the mold. Use metal for the dowels(A bolt cut down in a drill like a lath with a grinder.) The nice thing is if it is off a little you still have your own design and it might work different. The other way would be what ledhed recommends. But you can ruin a lot of molds for the same cost. Good luck I love to modify or cut my own.

HookUp Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'd just buy a football head mold and craft the ridge w/ some JB weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel7@mac.com Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I really don't see any advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Bigger head less weight and all weight is forward leaving the hook tipped up for a strike. A reg. football head sits flat and has no way to make the hook stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas48 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Is this jig catching more fish or fishermen ? (Ive gotten a lot of wholes in my mouth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reg. football head sits flat and has no way to make the hook stand up. Do-it and Hilts both offer excellent molds that leave the hook tipped up for a strike. The head profiles differ somewhat but serve the same purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
