I know it's about baits but I thought it was too neat not to share.

I have the mold, but so far have not used it a lot. It's certainly going to depend on what kinds of weeds/vegetation you try to pull it through, just like with any other lure.

There's stuff in the lake here, it pulls through fine, and we also get that nasty snot grass, and slimy algae and that stuff hangs on everything, regardless of how weedless it's supposed to be.

I like that darter jig as an alternative to a C or T rig, and with small 4" or 6" worms or grubs, were I'm moving them fairly steady and tossing them around the cypress trees.  It might have been a slightly better jig with the hook eye in the tip of the cone, but that would have required a special hook, and the way the molds is, it can be poured with a basic Aberdeen jig hook. I'm not knocking it at all, but I have some Do It Molds, that the hooks are no longer being made, and who knows what might happen down the road.

I also tend to keep molds, and try to make use of them, even if I have to modify them for other hooks that are readily available.  Hopefully, that won't be the case with this mold. 

You can pour a regular darter style jig with it, and probably adding a wire keeper would not be difficult.

Welcome back!

It's been a few weeks since I've checked in here, but we all have things going on sometimes, that get in the way of what we like to be doing.

Those jigs look great!  ;D

Thank you ctom!! It’s definitely an addiction and learning to tie jigs has made it worse!  :o

And it keeps getting worse. lol

Those look really great. I would have trouble picking which to try first, because they will all be killers.
Great work, Welcome back!
Thank you Lines!! You definitely have the choosing which one to try first as being difficult right lol
