shastaron Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Anybody out there pouring the newest larger size Herring Head Jig Molds? The 3/4-1 1/2 oz. If so what size Willowleaf blades are you putting on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I've got the mold and poured a few. Haven't hit the water to test them but I'm going to try a #4 on the smallest and try and get a #5 to work on the 1.5. I'll also have size 4.5 with me. With the original the biggest I could get to work properly was a 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye warrior Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Any problems with incomplete pours? I tried a dozen yesterday and only got 4 complete pours when loaded with hook and blade keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hot mold, hot lead, full pot. Had to have mold very hot, lead on 7. And pot full for weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I don't have the herring head mold as I use a modified ultra minnow mold for those. If I was making the larger herring heads based off of my own lures and ones I've watched people using, I'd go with a #4 for the 3/4oz and a #4.5 for the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I also use Drop Out on my molds. I get some of the collars that didn't pour fully but since I modded the mold it's not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
