BubsBaitsOfficial Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hey! I am waiting on my do it hybrid grass jig mold and I was wondering if each cavity uses the same 1/8" weed guard or if the smaller weights require a smaller sized weed guard? also any tips you have for this mold or lead pouring in general would be greatly appreciated as this will be my first time working with lead.

cadman Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Welcome to TU. That mold takes a FG-30 weedguard in all the cavities. There is a lot in pouring. Make sure the mold is hot, do some test pours without hooks to see if you get good pours. Once all is hot put the hook in and start pouring. There are a lot of things in pouring jigs. I would start reading the threads here as there is a lot of info on tips and tricks. I would also strongly suggest reading the pinned thread at the top of this forum regarding safety in pouring lead. If you have any questions post them here and someone will help you out. Stay safe and Happy Pouring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 The mold says 1/4". This translates to 6mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
