Wildcatter we have mauled that over and determined that it really doesn't work all that well. Best to leave it to professionals with the right equipment. There is a two pages of post on this subject on this thread. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...y-do-mold.html If you haven't done any machine work. you can ruin a good mold really quick.

there is a guy in virginia named shawn collins,and he does jigmolds, custom too. he did one for me about 5 years ago. top notch work, but it was on a blank he had made from aircraft aluminum. alot of guys have complained about him not doing fast work or returning emails and calls, but he was a one man operation with a backlog of work I guess. I will say his work is second to none tho. last I checked he had a nice website.

Any contact info for Shawn?thanks everyone for all the help and tips.

If you are talking about hooksolutions call and talk to David......It's aluminum and he did not mail it to me until it was right. Price was in same range as Shawn Colling.......$150.00 to the best of my memory......It's already paid for itself. I have contacted Do-It before about certain Molds and their response was "we don't make those"
