You can ask someone if they'd like to trade for them but anyone here molding their own, even though they bought the mold is illegal for them to sell them.

Gobbler .... they ain't no "road runner/stumpjumper" ... but take a look at RonDon's baits :
Jigheads « LaBaits.com

I purchased some, and like you I used my own O rings & blades .... they look great, and I'm gonna get them wet as soon as I get a chance !!

From what I understand, Fatman is correct ... the patent on Roadrunner & Stumpjumper (pony head style jigheads) makes it illegal for people to sell them (even if they custom make them). But, RonDon's version is not a ponyhead ... so it's legal !!

Would like to trade for the same original post,since I can't get them from RoadRunner with a #2 hook unless I buy them with a willow leaf blade which I don't care for.Thank's

really? ozark tackle makes the road the roadrunner head and sells them and you can buy them cheap at psfish.net i just want some with a bigger hook, i don't care what you call them if someone has a mold and wants to "trade some green paper" for some molded on the widegap hooks shoot me a pm. for those that just want a plain #2 in the 1/16 go to psfish.net i believe they are 26.99 for a 100 unpainted, w/silver indiana blade.

Gobbler,

Well I see they are but the fact is they're doing it illegally. Ed has a great site here, and Blakemore is a sponsor - please don't do anything to screw that up.

[gobbler]

well maybe they will take the hint and make some with a widegap, problem is they will charge you a dollar a head and call it a pro design, when it cost them maybe 10 cents to make. bs

i see that one hand washes the other here, but when one hand is dirty doesn't it make them both?

The only model Mustad wide gap that would fit in either of the do-it molds would be a 37188. And I know most of the folks here who have the
Do-It mold have the assorted one.

This style hook is more expensive than regular aberdeen 90 degree. You can only pour 1 jig at a time with the assorted mold unless you buy the more expensive Pro model mold for 1/16th oz. only (about $50 bucks). So a persons time for 1 jig at a time is more.

Quote "well maybe they will take the hint and make some with a widegap, problem is they will charge you a dollar a head and call it a pro design"

Home molders would probably charge you a $1 a head, from the increased cost of the hooks to the pain in pouring 1 at a time. So don't complain about the company charging that much when a home molder would probably charge that for it. If you had to buy the mold, a melter, the hooks, the crane swivels and lead for just that style jig head and cast them your self - then you wouldn't think twice about a $1 a head.

If you don't think my estimates are right (yes I'm a molder), ask any of the other guys who mold and have them estimate it for you.

I am not trying to step into a argument here but you use to be able to buy the roadrunner head in 1/16 oz with a # 2 hook with a silver blade,I still have a few and that is what I like to use.Now they don't make them anymore,they have a #4 hook in them.They did not charge you anymore for them.I have been supporting Blakemore for a long time now and have nothing but good thing's to say about them but they do not make the head's anymore that I like.Because of the blade.I guess somebody could keep buying them and change the blade's out themselve's.But I think they are expensive enough already and why do I want to spend more on them?I wished they still produced them like they use to or offer them with either type of blade.I personally don't care if it is a mustad hook or not,I just want a #2 hook with a silver blade.When they mass produced these they were not called a pro design and did not cost you extra.

check out psfish.net, they have them with gold #2 hooks and a silver indiana blade for 26.99 for a 100 pack. though they are unpainted

the hook i am refering too is the mustad wide gap, it has a much wider gap than a regular #2, holds fish very well.
