Where can I get a Minnow Head Mold with the recessed eyes and the hollowed out section under the head between the gill plates?
Do-it jig molds have a minnow head with recessed eyes. It does not have the hollowed out section. They also have an Ultra minnow that have nice detail. It also has nice balance. Other than that, you might look to getting something made custom.
This is as close as i can get.
Bobo turned me on to: Zeiner's Bass Shop - Wichita, Kansas
They have every mold Do-it makes and are cheaper than anyone else I have found. Do-it site sells their molds for around 43.00 while Zeiners sells their molds for less than $30.00 (online). I got a couple the other day that must have been hanging in the store and the price on them was more expensive than I paid.
I've since ordered other stuff from them as they are cheaper than others I have used. They have really fast shipping, pay with PayPal and shipping is a good price. In fact, they have discounted my shipping! Great customer service too.

I'm wanting 1/16 and 3/32 oz.
What mold is that in the pics made on? I'd be happy with that.
that is one awesome looking mold I'll tell you that
That's a do it mold modified by a buddy. I'll have to look at the name when I get home.
Do know smallest it pours is an 1/8, but once you fill up the collar it's wAy lighter.
That would work.
Looking at inside, it'll need a bunch of work.
Got a custom mold from my buddy that's the end all as far as balance is concerned for vertical jigging. It's a killer jig to paint too. Ifn ya want some pics and will pay postage, I like pouring right now. What it costs me to send is what it'll cost you.
Sending you a PM
BTW what size hooks does the mold accept?Quote:
