Termite Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hey guys, I've been looking for a mold to make a barrel type jig head looks like this: DOA Terror Eyz head; I would like one with a neck so I can tie bucktails on them. If you know of anyone that has something similar please let me know! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wouldn't a football head do the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee jigger Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wow,that ones a little different. I dont have a mold but i think Shawn Collins Custom Molds could probably help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zib Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 A football jig should basically work like the jig you have pictured. You could also modify a football head mold to get that shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termite Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 A football jig would be close but I have not seen any with a 90 degree eye. I'm trying to replicate some saltwater jigs I saw in a video. That design is supost to get hung up less in rocks and oysters??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo G Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 That would be a really easy mold to create, depending on the size of hook and weight of the lead head. My suggestion would be to start with a ball head jig mold that accommodates the same size and style of hooks you plan to use. Take a bull-nosed end mill (similar to a flat end mill, only with a slight radius on the cutting end) in the same diameter as the "barrel" and use a drill press to peck drill down through the ball, creating the cylindrical barrel shape. Any manual machine shop should be able to do this at a relatively inexpensive cost, assuming they have the cutting tools readily available. Is that a wire jutting out the front? If so, you could add a channel for that using a rotary tool or get even more precise with a ball-nosed end mill (again, an easy job for a machine shop).

Termite Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys, I'm not interested in pouring any myself, I was just hoping to find someone who had a mold. I have to many other molds and projects going and just wanted to make my own jigs for a FL trip this year. I'll see what I can find while I'm down there.

21xdc Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 A football jig would be close but I have not seen any with a 90 degree eye. This football takes a 90* hook >> Do-it Molds: Football Jig Mold BTW... I own one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termite Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 That looks good, Do you sell them? I would be interested in some 3/4 oz and 1 oz. maybe 6 of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I don't normally sell them. What hooks and size were you wanting? Where do you live? Shipping might cost more than the jigs. Call me if you like. 1-734-728-6145 SE Michigan is where I live.

Jig Man Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have a modified ball head that is similar to what you show. It doesn't get hung up any less then my footballs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sent you a PM Got the PM.. I'll see if I even have any 90* hooks.
