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.
I'm using the #4 hook. I'm using matzuo's and I have had a cople
out of the package that wouldn't fit.
i was looking on do-it's website just this morning and the sell a barrel swivel with split rings on it all ya gotta do is hook it to the eye and the blade
These hooks are from the same box and you can see some have a longer length from eye to bend.

That's matzuos for you. I just finished a box of 1000 and I bet there was 100 or more that are to long. They need some better quality control. I just ordered some eagle claws lil nastys and gonna try them
