billibibruda Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 its pretty explanatory from the title can I use the mold insert's to make jig heads with the weedless jig molds (from do it molds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 That's exactly what these pins are for . If you have a "weedless" jig mold but want a jig head without any weed guards you put the pins in the slots machined in the mold where the weed guards normally go and pour . This gives you the option of weedless or non-weedless jig heads from the same mold . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make a non-weedless jig from a weedless jig mold (poisontail, et.al.), you take the weedguard pin and shave it down so it is flush with the top on the mold cavity when it is put in the weedguard pin slot. You can also use the teflon pins and just cut to length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 If you have lead sprue cutters you can just pour the heads with no pins, and the cut small nibs off flush when you're cutting off the sprues. The fish won't care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
