RockfishRand Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well just got a nice email from the folks at DO-It molds, they don't have a 6oz Shad head, sorry. I guess the 6oz Shad heads I purchased recently are from an altered jig someone did. Anyone know of one out there? Can I special order one somewhere? Thanks, you guys are awesome on this site and I'm enjoying the hobby alot. I poured (50) 3oz and (50) 4oz yesterday. (Can you tell I'm a rockfishing fan)?

Elken Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 They aren't cheap, but these people have some 6 oz. shad head molds http://www.shawncollinscustoms.com/jigs8.htm#RubyLipsJig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfishRand Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thanks Elken. There are no barbs on his jig to hold the plastic shad bodies on. I wonder if I could modify along the area where the hook shank sits, and add some barbs. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have a question while you are on the subject of shad head jigs. I have a request to make a mold (for spin casting) of a 24oz. shad head jig. That is a pound and a half of lead and would probably make my machine sound like a washer out of balance when casting them. Is there such a thing that big? If there is, what size hook do you use in it? Where can I get a sample if it does exist? Seems to me, they want to hit the fish on the head and kill it rather than take it the sporting way. Long live Moby Dick Appreciate any help from out there. George Reeves H&P Tackle Welch, OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
