cmayes Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I just poured with a ladle for the first time. Had been using a bottom pour pot,,,I'm not pouring from the bottom any more! My pours were so much better than in the past years. I am done with the bottom pour pots! I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. It all started when my pot clogged and I haven't been able to clear it. Best mistake in jig pouring I've ever made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I use a ladle on certain molds, spinnerbaits have always been a ladle pour to me as well as the brush jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I stick with the Lee pot for everything except jigging spoons. I can't get the lead hot enough in the Lee pot to pour them so I use a cast iron pot and my fish cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I will stick with my bottom pour pots as they are made for speed. However I use a ladle for all of my spinnerbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I only ladle poured for a long time and finally bought a bottom pour. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I even use the bottom pour for my spinnerbaits. Just have to cant the mold and drop the lead right in the hole. I won't use the ladle anymore. Only if I must for problematic mold.

Kasilofchrisn Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I only Ladle pour my big stuff. Anything over 2 or 3 ounces. For smaller stuff the bottom pour is so hard to beat. And mine doesn't give me too many problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
