larva jig mold

[Gregward]

I'm new here.  I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the larva jigs.  i was thinking if trying them out for ice fishing.  figured someone would have some insight on them.

thanks this place looks like a great forum

Welcome on Gregward. I haven't used the larva jig, but I'm sure you'll get some useful information on here.

Welcome aboard Greg! I don't do much with the ice anymore but as Lines has suggested, there's lots of help here as 21xdc shows.

Thanks I was wondering if anyone had some finished pictures of the jigs.  I was hoping this would be close to a moonglow jig.  Wondering if any one has made mods to except smaller hooks

https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/Search/unpainted%20ice%20jigs.aspx Greg welcome here are some upainted that your looking for haven’t seen a mold like that so you can make your own but the larva mold would be a good addition to your collection.

Here’s some tungsten http://www.sheltfishingtackle.com/25mm-unpainted-ice-fishing-tungsten-jigs-p-110.html

Here's a glue/solder on body called a shrimp but looks like a waxie. These are from a Chinese source, but I've used them before and never had issues. It takes a while to get them to your doorstep but it may be worth it if you're looking specifically for a larva looking body and the ones shown are tungsten to boot.

Next question anyone know where to buy the tubes that the mini mites come in.  Just bought a guys mold collection and I guess his custom bait business.  I have large quantities of 1/80th-1/4 oz round heads.  He threw all of his unfinished jigs, hooks, paints and every thing to make online spinners in on the deal.  Looks like I'll have a lot of work ahead of me

This sounds like a fun future for you. Can't help on the tubes though. Check u-line.com to see if they sell something that will work. They sell most everything and are reasonably priced.

Here you go Greg....

The tungsten head beads are found here too. they're slotted so you can slip them on your jig hook and epoxy them in place. The grub bodies are slotted as well making adding a hook a fairly easy operation.

I plan to order some of the ball head beads to work with in a little while. I'll be getting silver and gold so I can airbrush transparent paints over them and get some decent color bounce.

Sweet thanks
