First jig head mold help please

I've looked at jig head molds until my eyes are crossed. All the details get to running around in my head, bumping into each other, and I am getting lost in the translation...

Here's what I want. A multiple cavity mold, that will make ball head, no collar jigs that will mold 1/32 and 1/16 ounce ONLY and accept a #2 lite wire hook and sickle hooks. If it's out there, I can't find it. I'd also like one that does the same thing, but with a single barbed collar. I don't want one that has one 1/32 and one 1/16 ounce cavity.

Also, I'd prefer one of the cheaper molds, like Do-It.

If anyone can help, I'd surely appreciate it.

Do it has the jnr-8-1632 . If you want a #2 hook you will to mode it. Go to Barlow's.com they have alots of molds

When it comes to using a #2 in a no collar mold you will have to modify the mold to handle the longer hook shank. It takes about 15 mins to do a whole mold with the right bits. You start with a standard do it no collar mold. As for the ones with a single barb, same deal as above unless you can find the older do it mold that doest have the bracing running the length of the mold. Regardless, it can be made in about 15 mins as well......

Thanks for the replies. I'm a pretty handy guy, what should I use to modify the jig? If it's a certain dremel bit that you guys use, a part # would be awesome to have. I do a lot of metal work, but not a lot of "fine" metal work. I know a dremel can dig out a lot of soft metal quickly if I'm not careful or have the wrong bit.

Pictures of a modified mold would be great also as I would like to do the same thing in the future.

I used a machining bit i found at the flea market, check with the tool guys, and used my drill press. If you put your mind to it you can also figure out how to make it into a redneck milling machine. Worked great for my needs.

Settle for a #4 sickle and order them by the 100s already made fur 12.00 a hundred :biggrin

That's too easy. LOL

I have a Do-it mold that does 1/32 and 1/16.I like #2 sickle hooks in my 1/+6ball head jigs. I found with care they will fit my molds fine. But must check each one carefully to ensure that the hook is in place right.

Go to your dentist. Talk him out of some of his used bit’s. Mine gave me several in a small plastic box. Then buy a kit for Drexel at Home Depot that has several different collets. It will have one small enough to use those tiny bits. You need to open up the hook eye area a little and if mold ha hook point stop you will need to machine some of that off so hook will lay in right. Once you get that done take one hook at a time, place it in mold, close it up and hold it closed tight. Lay on bench and take your dead blow hammer and hit it a few licks, not pound. You need to open up the part where larger hook shank lays for it to pour right. I pour some 1/16 with 1/0 hooks by doing this

Great info...... don’t think I am ready for lead mold mod work or pouring lead yet but still very interesting!!
