Blisters Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi guys, i'm new here and already love this forum! I am using a Do-It Walleye jig mold making the smaller sizes, #6 and #4 Eagle Claw hooks. Is there a tool or trick to loading those small hooks into a hot mold? Thanks for your help!

Jig Man Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Sometimes I lay the hook as close as I can then use a tooth pick to finish getting it into position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisters Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks Jig Man, I was going to try a small wooden dowl or maybe a small rectangular piece maybe 1 inch wide with a small groove in the end. I will try that tomorrow and let you know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have heard some adjust with a small paint brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have the mold you are referring to. I have tried numerous items, I found that doing it quickly with your finger is the fastest. You can also try wooden coffee stirrers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjschmitt Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I use a tweezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reverse style worked best for me, but the one I had was slightly magnetic, and gave me fits trying to release the properly positioned metal part! So, I’m back to the standard one.
