New DO-IT Mold

[sayre315]

I got the highest bid on a new (to me) DO-IT mold with 1/16oz and 1/32oz, 8 of each, yeah 16 jigs, 8 on top and 8 on the bottom. I over paid for it by alot but i thought it was great and could not find this mold ANYWHERE. I was going to see if anybody know if these are still being made. Thanks!

I was one of the ones that bid that also, I quit at $52. Hope it works well for you. I couldn't find it in their catalog or with any of their distributors that I know of. I'm going to go with a pro mold of each size instead.

Its not being made . I have one I bought back in the 70's . You sure wanted that bad . I'll keep my eye out for one skeet. Once and a while I can pick stuff up like that if I know what to look for.

I have one and never have poured both sides at the same time.

haha sorry about that Skeet. I got it in today and I can't wait to try it out, you can tell it's an older mold too by the looks of it

just tried it out.......... its not worth its wieght in crappie poo. the lead runs into the eyes of the hooks and down the shank, the hook are at like a 80 degree angle, and the sprue is very thick

Sayre - I almost want to say someone enlarged the hook slot. Even at an angle lead shouldn't be going that far down.

Some of the newer molds coming out are like that. I bought the horsehead mold and ball head collarless and they have 4 on top and 4 on the bottom. It's a PITA when you want to go over a size 4 hook because of the short area between, and as sayre said the tilted hook slots.

I've thought about asking Crazy how much it would be to have the inside edges trimmed back and lengthening (making more of a long oval) where the hook eyes go so as to be able to use bigger hooks.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll send him a photo and of what I want and see how much it will cost.

[sayre315]

so you're saying that they oversized for a reason and it should not leak lead?

[pondhopper]

If the mold is bleeding lead try turning your temp. down . sometimes that will stop it and reduce flash as well. Just my 2 cents worth.

thanks Pondhopper, i'll make another atempt at it tomorrow
