keysd13 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I got a shaky head mold for xmas and tried it out today. The head of the lure is not tight around the shank of the hook after pouring. I preheat the mold and pour a couple heads without hooks before I start. Any ideas why this might happen. thanks from a newbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 If you aren't doing this then try it. Let the lead solidify and cool a couple of seconds before you take the jig out of the mold and make sure you grab the jig by the sprue, when you remove it from the mold cavity.
