Yes, That will work. The biggest problem is getting split rings that are strong enough and still fit through the hook eye. The nice thing about the do-it mold is you can use all different types of hooks on it!

Yes Do-It makes a round head swing jig mold.
It is called the earball if I remember correctly.
You should find this mold wherever you buy your molds from.
I buy my Do-it molds from Barlows or Shark river mail order.
Should run you about $27 +shipping.
