Can this be done?

[Brian Stucker]

Looking for a jig like this. 1/16 oz head the main hook being a 1/0 and the top hook being a #1 and tied like a buck tail to cover the hooks. Head being pink and the body being blue with silver sparkle.

Sure, the hardest part would be getting someone to modify their mold to take the 2nd hook though.

What kind of mold would I need and how are you talking about modifying?

Could it be a regular barb less jig head with another hook with the eye cut off soldered to the shank of the jighead? What would you use it for anyway? Just curious.

Using it for trolling. All of the time getting short strikes. They come up to bite it they will get a hook one way or the other. It has been done before. Just wanting to know if someone can pour me some jig heads?

You would need a Do-It mold in whatever head style you want and then a high speed dremel to cut room in the aluminium mold for the lower hook with the eye inside the lead body.

Sounds good. But if there is anybody out there who can pour these let me know.

Let me check something. You maybe be able to use one of the Do-it molds that have a wire keeper. Instead of the wire keeper, yo add the other hook. The size of the hooks for the size of the heads you are asking for a very large. It would probably have to be done with smaller hooks, if it is even possible without a custom mold.

You still need a dremel. I just tried it with #2 hooks in a 1/16 minnow head with wire keeper mold and it was a no go. You are almost going to need a spinner / skirt bait hook for the secondary hook. There is not enough room to put two 90 degree jig hooks in the body part of the head. If you just cut off the bend on a 90 degree hook and set it beside a regular hook, there is nothing there to keep the secondary hook from being pulled out of the head, if you managed to catch a large fish on it.

I would almost rather go with a wired in secondary hook set up like a trailer hook instead of one so close to the body. I was playing around with the idea a few weeks ago, I didn't get very far but here is what I cam up with.



It is a bit different, it is almost like a bait that is used for either Salt Water fishing or stripped Bass. It is just an idea though. If you are getting short strikes something like this may fix your problem. BTW the trailer hook, is a spinner / skirt bait hook. This is a 1/4 ounce head and both the hooks are pretty good size.

I was thinking a straight shank aberdeen hook instead of a 2nd jig hook, Bobo, would that work with lead poured around the eye?
