Greg Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'm sure this has been asked, before, but..... I want to pour some shakey heads that utilize a barbed collar and flat eye hook. It doesn't appear Do-It makes such a mold. What's involved with modifying one of their molds to accept a flat eye hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Drill out he hook eye socket to fit your hook then fill it in with RTV silicone so you won't have flash. Edited September 12, 2018 by Jig Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Which mold (model number) are you looking to modify? Like Jig Man stated, however make sure you measure twice and drill once, Edited September 12, 2018 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 https://www.barlowstackle.com/Do-It-Round-Head-Weedless-Jig-Molds-P265.aspx could you not use a Teflon pin or rtv to close the brush guard opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Probably the PRO-102 series, or something similar. So, do you "drill out" each half of the mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Here is what you want, it will use both a regular eye hook and a flat eye. https://www.barlowstackle.com/Do-It-Shake-It-Jig-Molds-P240.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi Walking Dead, Yes, I could probably fill in the hole for the weed guard and use that mold. Thank you for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg, If you are looking to put in a screwlok in that head? That is possible with the mold Small jaw suggested.

Greg Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Had not planned on adding a screwlok. I'm not fond of them; because, I find them difficult to "center" in the worm. However, I borrowed a weighted, swimbait hook from a friend of mine, recently; and, the screwlok device actually incorporated a "centering" pin that was nothing more than an extension of the screwlok that protruded beyond the coils and could be stuck into the center of the worm, swimbait, etc. prior to threading the bait on to the screwlok. Have you seen these? If so, where could I purchase them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen these? If so, where could I purchase them? I assume you are referring to these. See the pic below. The two on the right with the centering pin. They are made and sold by Owner. However if you don't want to pay the exorbitant price, PM me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
