Title: Eye size
Post by: gone2long on 01/06/13 15:50 UTC
Hey guys this might be for Jerry but if you know I'm all ears I bought the SMJ-3-MF Weedless Casting Jig and to my pleasant surprise it has eye sockets which I don't see any info on as far as what size I need the pic on netcraft's site shows it without eyes so I assume this was a new addition to the mold, any ideas on size?

The do-it catalog says Size 2 or 1/8 for the 5/16 and 3/8 jigs. Size 2.5 or 5/32 for the 1/2 jig. Everyone should get a do-it catalog, there is a lot of useful in formation in it, plus I circle all the molds I have so I don't get mixed up when buying new molds. I just did a catalog count. I have 113 do-it molds!

If you go to www.do-it.com you can download a copy of their catalog.

Doh :D that's even funnier as I never looked on the Do It site I actually looked at my order from Jann's and the photo as well as the component list for that mold did not mention eyes ;) Thanks again!

I only check my mail a couple  times a week and yesterday was that day.  I was weak kneed as I pulled out Bass Anglers Magazine, Barlow's 2013 catalogue, and Do-it's 2012 -2013 catalogue.  I had visions of sugar plums dancing in my head.  It was like an angler's vision of Nirvana.  I tippy toed much like a ballerina the couple hundred yards back to the house.  The neighbors turned their heads so as not to embarrass me.

I started with the TOC of BAM just to see what was what.  It was a local magazine that just went national.  Good read.  I then started on Do-It's catalogue and I couldn't put it down.  I think I had tears running down my face.  They actually market a RCBS Pro-Melt lead melter.  Paul and I "talked" about that unit a year ago and I covet it.  He swears by it.  I visualize myself wearing a Do-It t-shirt while pouring jigs and then quickly changing into my CCM t-shirt when pouring some craws.  I finally flipped out when I cut down Do-It's catalogue to fit inside my bible for this morning's services.

The straw that broke the camel's back was when Gary said that he had 113 molds.  I thought I was on Do-It's red carpet list with 25.  Oh, Man.

On a serious note...can you imagine when the next Do-It catalogue comes out with all the CCM stuff.  Can't wait.

Thanks Lamar for putting up the corect web page. That 113 molds shows how old Im getting to be. It easy to get a bunch with garage sales and e-bay! This is a hobby collection and I only sell a little to friends. I don't want to count my plastic molds, but the number keeps increasing on them alsao! ;D

 Musky I bow to you brother. 113 molds, wow ! I've made jigs for a lot of years now and I have molds that I have dremeled and reconfigured to make my own little creation that no one else has. I would love to go through your collection. I bet it's full of goodies. I'm like you. I never sell any. They take way to long to make. I give some to friends as Christmas presents. I pretty much have one guy I tournament fish with and he and I like to think outside the box. Other guys know we're doing this and are always trying to sneak a peak. We just laugh because we know they're doing the same thing. Sure does make this a fun sport.
  And now we have plastic !!!!! I very very new at this but this could be endless.
