rustedhook Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just got my first Collins mold in the mail. Man what a great looking mold. Its a Flat eye stand - up jig 1/4 to 1/2 oz. I almost hate to pour lead in it. This thing is made with close tolerances. Going to have to take Andy1976's advise and get some graphite for a release agent. I thought about trying to modify it and put in a wire keeper but i almost don't trust my Dremel tool abilities. Can't wait to pour my first jig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkman Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 He makes a crazy good mold, I have one of his rear weighted spinner blade and it pours like butter I would not modify it for the same reason, I don't trust my self and it's just to pretty and pricey to do You are going to get bit hard by the Sickness brother so welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just got my first Collins mold in the mail. Man what a great looking mold. Its a Flat eye stand - up jig 1/4 to 1/2 oz. I almost hate to pour lead in it. This thing is made with close tolerances. Going to have to take Andy1976's advise and get some graphite for a release agent. I thought about trying to modify it and put in a wire keeper but i almost don't trust my Dremel tool abilities. Can't wait to pour my first jig. I modify my molds without using a dremel tool. I am leaving this am on a 2 week fishing trip but will be glad to discuss it with you when I get back home. If you are interested send me a pm.
