I'm wanting to pour 1/16th ounce and 1/8th ounce road runner jig heads. I've got the right size hooks and swivels. I just don't know what size split rings and blades to get. Can someone help me out?

I have used size 0 and 1 split rings and size 0 and 1 blades.
Thanks!!
X2 - but if you look inside the mold it will also list what sizes, or you can get it from the online do it catalouge. You can play with the size of the blades. I use German split rings on mine from Hagens, a little cheaper than regular stainless steel ones.
Most of the time I use 0 split ring, 0 blade on 1/16 and 1 bled on 1/8. But I have several set up with 2 Colorado and 3 willow leaf for when I'm pushing a little faster in our muddy water.
Can look on barlows tackle at do-it molds for horse head/pony head spinner's they have a size chart.
The inside of my mold only has hook size and swivel size? Oh well, Thanks for the responses guys.Quote:

Are you using a #4 hook on the 1/16 oz jig head? I just got my mold in today and I tried using #2 sickle hooks and I can't get the mold to close all the way. I guess I'm going to modify the mold!
Are you using Matzuo's or Eagle Claw lil nasties?? Matzuos are known for a long eyelet to bend length - you might have to sift through the package you have and test fit them. I'll post a pic tonight showing it.
