josey wales Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi guys great site. I am looking for a mold to pour fish shaped trolling sinkers. The only thing i can find is the shad jigging spoon mold from do it, but it only goes to 1.5 oz. Is any one making a fish shaped trolling sinker mold? I have searched the web with no luck.

River Joe The do-it Ultra Minnow mold could easily be altered to make a fish shaped trolling sinker. The largest size is 4 oz. You can also alter available sinkers or just paint them to make them more fish like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkvnmtr Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Bondo molds are not hard to make. Just need a master. They do not seem to last a lot of pours but it is cheap to make several. This week we have been pouring some 3 1/2 and 7 oz jigs. It seems we can not get more than about a hundred done without the mold beginning to crack. The molds never seemed to get that hot on the outside but on the inside they will crack and any bubbles will pop creating void. I would think the process would work well for trolling sinkers if you are not trying to make hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josey wales Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. The Ultra minnow would make a very cool inline trolling sinker. JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
