the crappie in me wants

[ctom]

....a multi-sized mold that shoots, say, three - 1/32, three - 1/16 and two - 3/32 with the 1/32 cut to accept #2 hooks, the rest cut to accept sizes 1 thru 2/0, all collar-less round head.

and more molds with wire keepers

and more molds with wire keepers

The wire keeper thing is relatively new to Do-It molds, of course... can you elaborate on what style heads, sizes, hooks, techniques etc.


The "L" style wire keeper works well, there is no doubt, and a small modification to existing designs is probably not all that difficult with a Dremel or similar tool... What other types of heads would you like to see the wire keeper on?

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry -    If you look on Crappie.com, Texas Fishing Forum, etc. and see the modifications made -- they seem to have this theme - 1/24th to 1/16th oz head; The tapered walleye or a "flat sided ball" head to attached a stick on eye.  Wire keeper instead of a collar if for plastic or no collar if for tying.  - # 4 or #2 hook.   Eye size 3.5 to 4.5 mm.

Thanks Bro', that's the kind of feed back I need. 

I think we're on the right track with the wire keepers, we just need a little input like that to help us figure out where to take it from here.   suredopreciater

Hey Matt ---  Send 10 copys to me !!!     .   I still haven't received the GPS co-ordinates for those Crappie and Bream spots either  .

[matt]

[Jerry V]

Matt, you can send any jig head prototypes you have to me:

Do-It Corporation
attn: Jerry Van Sickle
501 North State Street
Denver, Ia  50622

Include all of your contact information etc. and we will take a good look at it.  We can't be everything to everybody, but we would like to have a good idea what we can do to make the line better for sure.  I would say any plastics designs/ideas are all Jason's baby.

(plenty of extras are appreciated and way points for good fishing holes gain bonus points)

20 bucks for your wire for the A-rig is a bit much Jerry.

20 bucks for your wire for the A-rig is a bit much Jerry.

Sorry man, I don't have much to say concerning Do-it's product pricing.  I'm guessing that it's based on wire prices and assembly costs.  I suppose that it might be worth 4 bucks a piece to some people to have a ready made wire to put in their mold vs. fashioning their own.  (there are 5 forms per package) Do you make a lot of A-rigs yourself?
