volman42 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hey guys how hard is it to change a mold? I have found a couple different jigs that I like but they do not have a weedguard in them. I'm sure a dremel would probably work but does it effect the pour any? Also I was wondering if it is possible to pour spinnerbaits by modifyin a jig mold? It looks like the only difference is a place to let the wire come out. I am talking about the aspirin head mold and an arkie style jig. Any help or advice wuld be great! Thanks Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 There are multiple topics on this in the archives . But please remember that once you modify a mold it's value for resale goes to heck . Most of the time you have to goof a mold up pretty bad for it not to poor . A dremel tool is really hard to control free hand . I'd research a lot before I gave that a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I don't use weedguards but a Dremel engraving bit in a proper size pin vise could be used for scoring out a simple straight groove slot for a wire guard. Heck, an un-powered Dremel could also me used. I've done lots of hook shank slot enlargement mods on the cheap with a proper size cut hook shank mounted in a vise grip.
