Do-it bullet nose head mold
« on: 12/26/16 20:41 UTC »
Thinking about buying the bullet nose swimbait head for using on a A-rig. The mold says 1/0 for like 1/8 and 1/4. Did you guys have to modify your mold to put like a 4/0 in a 1/4 ounce? What head do you guys make for your A-rigs?

Get The Shad head rig jig, it has a wire keeper and the head has recessed eye sockets to add 3D eyes if you want to add some realism. The head was made for A-Rigs and it takes a 3/0 and 4/0 hook in all the cavities, it goes from 1/8oz to 7/16oz, I use it to fish swim baits buy itself as it comes through grass better than a ball head. The head also uses a wire keeper instead of a lead collar, to me it doesn't matter but I know some guys really like wire keeper instead of lead collars but that is the mold you want, it has the right size hooks and works very well.

I don't fish A-rigs but I dig the Shad Head/Wire Keeper.  It pulls from the Nose, goes down to 1/8 ounce.  The Wire Keeper is great, IMO, for 2 reasons...incomplete Collar pours are sometimes troublesome (which is a problem with harder and/or dirty and/or cooler lead), and the Wire doesn't swell the plastic like a Lead Collar does so You can use narrow plastics without splitting the plastic by over-stretching, as can happen with the Lead Collar.

The Almighty Dremel is a Lead Pourers Friend.  Many molds only need mild modification to the Hook Wire Recess/Recesses to accept the heavier wire and longer hook-eye-wire of bigger hooks, respectively.

I fish and make a lot of arigs. Take Smalljaw's very sage advice. It's a great head for it and it's what I use.

One thing I've noticed is most of Do-It's molds are for the Northern guys. Just about every one my twenty or so molds have been modified foe larger hooks.

MuskyGary I think he's talking about the lead molds.

I agree baskat. I have to cut them to make them bigger
