pigdestroyer Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I am looking for someone that is pouring jigheads. I am sure a lot of you guys pour your own weights. I found a mold that I want to have some jigheads made from, but I don't have a workstation to do it. Let me know if any of you are interested in helping me out and we can workout some kind of deal.

Let me knowFatman It is a do-it mold. No inserts necessay. I haven't don't want to purchase until I find someone to help me. Hook size 6 or 8. I want to used them as wacky jig. They recomment eagle claw, but I prefer Gamakatsu. I don't know if they make a hook for this jig in that size. I am looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) If thats a 1/32 mold it needs to be modified to use larger hooks than #6. By enlarging the hook eye slots and shank channels I got mine to fit up to #2 which is the smallest size made by Gamakatsu. The 1/16 size(modified) will better fit larger hooks and mine are customized to fit up to 2/0. Edit: Also, both the Pro-101 1/32 and 1/16 molds need to have the pre-warming slot ridge ground off to fit larger hooks. So, before you purchase the mold be advised that it takes a fair amount of skilled mold modification before it can fit larger than specified hooks.

pigdestroyer Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yeah. I noticed that Owner makes the hooks to fit the mold. I am pretty loyal to Gamakatsu, but it looks like the don't have what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you willing to send/sell a few in the different sizes? I just want to get an idea of what I prefer before making any major purchases. PM me if you are interested.

Ogajiga Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 PD I don't think non-club members can PM. You could maybe post your email add for those that want to contact you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigdestroyer Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 How many r u looking to have made? I really just want to see how they compare to the Jackall brand for wacky jiggin. I like the Jackall but they are way overpriced. If someone has the mold and is willing to sell like 10 for now that would be awesome. If it works for what I am doing I would purchase more.
