Please hold your breath and wait for Do-It to make this mold.
I'm sure that if you do it'll come out sooner.lol
If your that desperate for this mold then why won't you just have a CNC mold made?
It'll cost you less than some of those doodads you have in your fancy Ice Castle shanty and you'll have a mold in a few weeks.
Or as suggested make one out of silicone!
Again you'll have a working mold in a couple of weeks if you have to order the silicone. Sooner if you don't.
Count me in as another disbeliever in the sales of this mold.
Meager at best is my prediction.

Sounds to me like your not that interested anymore?
Willing to wait?lol
Even more reason for Do-It not to put this mold on their to do list IMHO.
I wasn't willing to wait on some of my ideas so I has custom CNC molds made.
Now I have what nobody else does.
And they work just like I planned!
But you can buy Marmooska's all day long at virtually any tackle shop. Guess that's another reason for Do-It to not make this mold. It's just a copy cat of other people's work!

It seems like this mold tweaked for the hook you want would work very well when poured w/o the wire keeper. Possibly putting the hook in backwards.

If you turn the eye and bend the hook on the shad dart you have a much better jig. The 1/32 and 1/64 at awesome ice jig’s
May your days be filled with sun shine and you always have a tight line. AMEN

Dang now I want that minnow head without the collar. That would work great for tiny plastics!

Reversing the hook position would be a great start on this. Grinding the plugs in the cavity off that create the eye pockets, with a Dremel, would be a good move too. The profile created in doing this would be very close to the diamond jig....or the mooska. And with some tweeking an 8 or even a 10 hook could get slipped in there

The teardrop mold in 1/16 using the wire keeper is very close to what the "mooska" style of jigs look like. Omit the wire, down size the hooks to an 8 or 10 and do a small amount of clean-up and there ya go.

The mooska style baits call for a flat eye hook and the hooks have a unique bend in them. My guess is that someone already has a grip on the hook's availability and that too might be another hang-up, but as Kal has suggested, the mooska style baits are way to easy to get for most people to want to dink with trying to make them.

This Shelt's page might be even better....shows being able to purchase the 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm in quantities of 25, not quantities of 100 which could get a little steep.

Anyone from do-it care to comment on an Ice Fishing jog mold?

I seen in Jan you brought a new ice fishing plastic. Thinking maybe INFISHERMAN would do an article on pouring plastics and jigs for ice fishing....since the ice mag has become the same crap over and over the last few years.
