Here is a question that nobody has answered for me. Why is a 1/24 oz. so highly sought after? I have three molds that I built back in my mid-west yellow perch days. All 1/24 oz and appears to be quite by accident that we decided on that size. We all just thought that they looked really slick the only reason that I can give to make them that size. Now that I am in to crappie fishing every one wants that size I like the 1/8 oz much better but still pour a good number of 1/24 oz. mainly out of habit. BTW I converted all those molds to take Sickle hooks. Sure glad I did!!!!!

Smaller profile, bigger than 1/32 , but smaller than 1/16. I get several requests for 1/24....

The 1/24 ounce jig is used mostly for trolling the in-between 1/32 and 1/16 ounce jig depths.
Hope this helps,

I want my jigs to fall as SLOW as possible, I would use 1/32 all the time if I could, but the wind makes that hard to do. if I am fishing deep I will use 1/16 oz but that is not very often. I mainly cast and shoot docks. I dont think I even have any 1/8 jigs in my tackle box lol

I think I understand more now than I did. Some of us have to fish different waters and use different techniques. Not only is Caddo Lake a Lake but we have a river system and many swamps and bayous. I do a lot of river fishing and fish in some current and use a 1/8 oz. for that. When I fish the big lake I use 1/16 in a #6 or #4. Fish the Islands and the trees a 1/24oz. or 1/32 oz. There are times when I longline and shoot docks I will use what ever seems right.

It appears that there is no one jigs fits all. That is a good thing for the mold makers. May be one day Do-It will start making a 1/24 oz. Until then the search continues.

Okay this is a old you tube video but have it now saved to the hard drive. crappie fishing making a 1/24 ounce jighead mold - YouTube It tellsyou how to modify a 1/32 oz Do-It mold to a 1/24 oz. mold. Cool, worth a few minutes of your time and Dang you know that I will give it a try just to say that I have done it.

DONT DO IT REDMAN!!!!! They wont be round they will be sorta pillhead shaped. But they will weigh right on the money. I did it, then i ended up buying a custom 1/24oz mold.

P the secret is to use a round 6.5 mm ball burr. and take the cutter into the cavity with the shank of the burr threw the pour hole or sprue hole. That way it will be round on both sides an equal amount. Be sure to use a good cutting lube when you do it. Think I can take the pins out of the mold and do a good job with a drill press and vice. I still might have to drill holes for locator pins. We will see. This is kind of a Bigg Boy Toy type thing. The older I get the crazier I become.LoLs.

LOL I did mine the same way kelly showed in the video. And I used a ball end mill. I still have it somewhere.
