I am looking for a poney Head mold that I can pour more than one 1/16 head at a time or 1/8 at a time.
check this link out do you want it with a collar or not ? the horse heads don't have a collar were pony heads do... if you reed the chart at this link i think you can do the 1/16 ounce and 1/32 ounce on the same from for horse heads now pony heads the 1/8 and the 1/16 are two different forms so be aware they don't make a 1/8 ounce horse head production from as far as i know i tried "lil mac molds" and found nada and "hilts molds" and nada too... this place has always been reasonable on prices to me that why i check them first... shipping is fairly cheap compared to cabelas too...

Model #: PHB-18 barbed collar 5 cavities you can also check ebay for older ones
Hilts and I like their molds
http://www.hiltsmolds.com/HorseHeadJigMolds.htm 1/32 and 1/16 in 4 cavity molds
no 1/8 but they have a mold that make 1 each of 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8
Do It True Horse Head no collar or barb
JH-8-1632 4 of each size 1/32 and 1/16
or with collar and barb
PHB-16 6 of 1/16
PH-B-18 5 of 1/8
I find that with pony heads (and most jig heads) I prefer one size per mold
Good Luck
Yes that's what I was wanting one size per mold and collared. Just starting to pour some lead jigs for myself. Thanks for the help.
Is there a hybrid shad head spinner mold also? I am at work and will ck these out tomorrow.
Can you go with bigger hooks and blades with the molds as what would be the optimal split ring plied to use. My hands work well getting them rings open and shut with fingernails.
From DO-IT's catalogue
Insert Collar Cavities Hook Style Sizes #12 Crane Swivel Barb 5 570
575
1/32 1/16 1/8 1/4 3/8 Split Ring Size 0 0 0 0 0 Blade Size 00 00 0 1 1 Hook Size 6 4 1/0 1/0 2/0
You can adjust blade size and as much as I have tried, the size 0 split ring is the best but is a real PITA to use. Butt rings can be used but are not as durable as the split ring
the dual 1/32nd and 1/16th mold you can only pour one size at a time as the hooks overlap too much. Plus if you want a bigger hook you can only go so big due to the hook channel. You don't have to use stainless steel split rings - I get the German split rings from Hagens.

JW, PHB- 16 is the 1/16 takes a #4
PHB- 18 is the 1/8 takes a #1 or 2
I have the 1/8 and I modified it to take a 1/0 sickle hook. I have a couple of 1/16 young guy from Alabama gave me at camp. His uncle had modified the mold to take a #2 sickle hook.
The above molds the 1/16 pours 6 and the 1/8 pours 5.

Cray how do you modify the mold to fit the bigger hook?
I used a dremmel like tool with a tiny flat cutting bit. Lay the hook in place. The eye of hook will overlay the spot machined for the normal hook. I then used the bit to enlarge the eye socket so it would fit. You have to do each side. Once that is done and your hooks lay in the groves and the eye is in position with all slots loaded close the mold. Here is where it gets tricky, it should not want to close completely because of the larger diameter of the hooks but you have to make sure when closing nothing got out of align so you need to check a couple of times. Then when you are at this point you need to clamp the handle with something that will hold it closed, then place mold on a solid flat surface and tap the up side of the mold with a rubber mallet or leather one. Not real hard, just back and forth until mold closes up. The aluminum is soft enough that it will open up the hook slots so that the hooks will lay in there properly and everything will be aligned when you pour. Pouring pony heads can be frustrating at first, putting in the swivels then hooks and trying to close without anything moving but isn't bad once you get the feel for it. If you need any more help just give me a call.
Thx Charlie look forward to seeing ya in a few weeks for the crank bite. I am coming the week of the 21st
