miket Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I came by way of this HILTZ mold when I purchased a box of molds from a gentleman. I can find no reference to it in any searches....anybody know what it is? Could be a worm weight but it looks strange , big , can't figure out how wires would work and there is a joint in the middle of each mold. Thanks.....Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Yes it is a worm weight mold. There should have also been an insert with (4) pins sticking out of it . The insert goes into the bottom of the mold in your case where the (4) cavities are per side. You close the mold with the inseert inside and pour from the top (2) sprue holes. This mold has 2 sprue holes, there is one sprue hole that feeds two weights. So when you pour lead in one of the sprue holes ypou get (2) worm weights. What the insert does is keeps the lead from flowing out of the bottom and the pins in the insert keep a through hole from front to back so you can thread your fishing line through. Without the insert the mold is useless. I believe it is a one piece insert. I have seen this item before and I believe I am correct. They are a nice find and if complete make some good t-rig worm weights. Others may have more info.

Basseducer Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hilts still has it in their online catalog, but shows out of stock. Maybe they have the insert as a replacement part. Here is a link. http://hiltsmolds.com/BulletSlipSinkerMolds.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
