Hey so I have a bit of an addiction and have now amassed a pretty decent collection of mostly doit molds. I am basically looking for a way to keep them all organized so when I am looking for a particular one to use I can grab it and go. So I am sure at least of you have gone through the same thing so I wanted to see what everyone else was using. Pictures would be a great help.
Forgive the dust - haven't been able to get back here in awhile....

Good lord I thought I had a problem. 2 questions. How do you know where to go to get the mold that you want? Have you considered selling off all of those and investing in some spin casting equipment?
And I thought my 45 Do-It molds was a pretty heavy addiction!
You win.....
The man with the most molds win, That is you Sonny!!!!!:cheers2
ffa - in the third picture shows do-it molds on the left side. These are all jig heads and they are in alphabetic order. Most of the jigs I pour now are with custom molds and they are at my pouring table. I only pour for myself - don't really need spin casting... The top picture on the right side are some spin cast molds I got from Ron Don.
Thinning the herd Ronnie - have to start getting rid of them as part of my fishing intervention. A lot of the molds are for saltwater & bass jigs.
Paint the end of the handle white then print what the mold is.
Cool well if in your thinning you are letting any striper or saltwater style jigs go let me know. Always looking to expand. I think the next one I want is the egg head mold with collar and barb. I drew up some plans for some little shelves that should hold 20 molds in a set so I will just make a few of those that way I can just add another unit everytime I get more molds.
I love that mold. I make pompano, sea trout, and flounder jigs on it. Also freshwater bass and striper jigs.Quote:

I know. I saw the ones you posted on pierandsurf and now it is the next one on my list. I think it will be a hard one to find used though.Quote:

Sonny - Having seen your mold room before I'd love to sneak in and sign some out!!LOL
J - are the red handled ones single pour AMENT molds??
Bet you would Doug..... Going to relist a bunch after the new year. The last pic I posted has some of the PA's underneath the Herter's. Some might not be PA but it's hard to tell the difference. Needs some investigation.....
Still looking for a mold for the original Doll fly jig I have. Looked through catalouges and done web searches but nothing yet.
ffa - "in your thinning you are letting any striper or saltwater style jigs go let me know" - probably going to be a bunch. Large hooks too - Owner, Gamakatsu, VMC, Mustad BLNs....
Doug does the original Doll fly jig have a wedge shaped head? Do you have photo?
Yeah I would be interested in hooks and molds when you are ready to clear them out.Quote:

I use a small craftsman rolling tool chest, 3 drawers and an open area on the bottom. Piece of plywood on the top. I could work off of it if I wanted to and it holds a bunch of molds and hooks and hardware. Best $60 I ever spent.
The shoe storage unit in photo #2, that I posted, is cheap and you can find them at Home Depot, Lowes, or Wal-Mart... There's another one in Photo #4 - left side.

Got it together. It will hold 40 doit molds and still fits on my shelf. Still need to tag and organize them but it's a start. Thanks for all the suggestions.
