walleyetracker85 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hey guys I'm looking for a do it mold that's similiar to the northland fireball jig. Would this be do it's live bait jig? Also Tommy Skarlis said he likes there teardrop jig for pitching jigs. Could you pitch this with meat on it or is it mainly a plastic jig? He was using plastics in the video. Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Interesting I looked it up on Do-Its site and it does not show the extra eye but when I looked it up on LPO it has an eye on the bottom but does not show an insert so me thinks you might have to do a mold modification.

walleyetracker85 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't really need the extra eye for a stinger hook. Very seldom do I use stingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 walleye tracker I have this mold at home. I will check it out later tonight for you. If you have any exact questions ask and I will post answer later for you. I used to be a walleye fisherman and this was my go to jig.

walleyetracker85 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about the tear drop or the live bait mold? If the tear drop did you ever fish bait on them or just plastics? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyetracker85 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at hooks right now. What size hook would you recommend? I guess it probably depends what I'm fishing with. I will be fishing minnows, leeches, and crawlers with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyetracker85 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hey guys I wanna make some of these jigs with red hooks. I would need the eagle claw 570r correct? That r just stand for red correct? I just wanna make sure they will work with do it molds before I order them. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
