JBassin Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hey guys. Have enjoyed reading the site for a while and it is time to get my first mold. I was hoping I can get some recommendations for my first mold. I'm looking for an all purpose mold that would also be effective through some thick grass. I'd like to have a stout hook with a wide gap. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Hahn Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I bought a Do-It's Bullet jighead mold (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce heads) and use the 30 degree 4/0 Mustad heavy wire jig hook with it. I'm very pleased with t he results and how easily it comes through weeds. I've tried other head designs, but the Bullet is the most weedless.

cadman Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Weedless Casting Jig works really well, also similar to the Bullet head mentioned above only Casting jig has eye sockets and a variety of sizes. #3465 and #3466 Do-It Molds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO-IT BBJ-3-AY WEEDLESS BULLET JIG MOLD Thanks for the response. I was looking at that one but didn't know if it would also work with some other applications I have for it. I think I am going to go with the Weedless casting jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mustad 91768NP-BN Jig Hook or the VMC wide gap? Is there a different option that I am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 You can use Mustad 32886 (round bend), 91768 (EWG) or EC versionL3886 (round bend). I don't know if the VMC Wide gap will work as I've never used it. If it is 28 or 30 degree regular hook eye, it should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 The weedless casting jig is one of my favorites. It's hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Weedless casting jig and I cannot recommend the new Gamakatsu 30 degree hooks enough. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
