Hover jig mold

Recommended Posts

I have it also. Poured a bunch but my boats down and haven’t fished them either. It pours really well. I don’t think I had one bad cast out of it. 
The mold is designed to fish a small minnow type bait using Forward Facing Sonar. It will fit completely inside the bait with the only thing exposed is the hook point\bend and the hook eye aft of the nose on the bait. It’s mostly an open water technique.

Looks like a modified knock off of my Nail Head designed 15 yrs ago.  Without the weight of a head to stabilize a hook point upright position, a pinned bait could roll or even spin. Very responsive to angler imparted twitch darts.

I ordered the mold from Barlow’s with Gami hooks.  I’m hoping to modify a swim bait mold so I can mold the plastic around the jig.  

I thought about doing that, too, but I realized I'd have to retie every time the bait got damaged.
