Flippinstick Mike Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have not yet bought a line through mold. Are there preferences out there in a 4" of 5"? I have seen some where a mojo weight can be used as the insert. How many of you do this? Are they too heavy in 4" with a mojo weight?

mark poulson Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I use mojo sinkers. They are available in different weights. Here's the line-through setup from an old swimbait that the bass killed. You can see it has a thick washer attached at one end, to keep it from pulling through the bait, and an integral weight half way up the through wire connector. It was actually poured into the swimbait, if I recall. Edited March 28, 2016 by mark poulson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippinstick Mike Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Mark do you use the Spike It Bond Coat on your mojo weights before you pour them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I didn't when I was in LA. I haven't poured any since I moved north, but I am definitely going to use it for the next ones I pour. My first swimbaits caught fish, but the lead oxidized and turned white, and got loose. I'm hoping the Spike It Bond Coat will stop both of those problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how it works for you if you beat me to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffhill Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I pour a lot of line-thrus for a west coast company. We use ribbed nickel plated lead inserts in ours. I don't have any trouble with them pulling out or turning the plastic colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
