Live Bait Jig Mold

Recommended Posts

Do-it make 2 different live bait jig molds, there is 1 that doesn't have the stinger eye and there is 1 with the stinger hook eye, the one with the stinger eye has a small flat spot on each side of the head for putting stick on eyes or painting eyes if you want to. If you want to fish live bait I would use this over the tear drop.

walleyetracker,

    I have the Do-It live bait mold LBS-6-A.  This one does have the loop for the stinger hook. If you are going to buy one then buy this one. Because you can also pour it without the loop. This will give you a dual purpose mold. Also you do not have to use the hook recommended. You can use a 570 hook which is a standard Aberdeen longer shank jig hook.  I always fished this two ways when I fished for walleye on the river. One rod in my hand had the jig with a fathead minnow on and the stinger hook, and the other rod just had the jig with a fathead. I then determined on the river which one to use all day. If the walleye were striking it short, than I would use the stinger, if not I would use it without a stinger. I will tell you that if you use a stinger hook and live fathead minnows, it did hamper the lively action of the minnow. The best decision on which one to use was let the fish tell you what is happening. One other thing also, was that I always like the longer hook with the live bait. The hook it calls for to me was too short.

Walleyetracker,

      Yes the r stands for red. Also if you want to go to a really sharp and strong hook, Try the Matzuo Sickle bend hooks, they come in red as well. I have heard very good things about those hooks. Also remember that the red doesn't stay on forever. It will turn eventually gold as it wears off.
