Do It is where I'd look for molds. But you are going to need a lot more than molds.

You'll need: a source of lead

a way to melt it

a source for hooks (Shorty's Hook Sales if you have a tax ID)

skirt material (fishing skirts . com)

a good pair of leather gloves

and eye protection

A guestimate is between $200-300 for startup depending on which and how many molds and skirts you purchase.

Best prices for molds is Zeiner's in Kansas City. Call them up and speak to Jim Zeiner, he has beaten everybody's price on the web that I know of. Best flippin jig for me is the Snootie jig with an Owner deep throat hook. Never lost a fish on that hook or jig.

My first mold, hooks(100 of each size), skirts, and Lee Pro Pot came to about 300$ from Jann's Netcraft. I didn't know about some of the other places that I know about now. I have close to a thousand lbs of lead I've gotten for free, too bad that's over. Jig Man and Cadman along with others are great sources of knowledge.

First of all Do-it makes most of the molds you would use today. Many different companies sell their

molds and components that make up your jig. I happen to think Barlows Tackle sells their molds and

components for a decent price. If you buy directly from Do-it the molds are about $15 more so that

is a last choice. Building jigs is easy, if you screw up a couple of jigs just throw them back in the

melting pot and redo them. Powder painting is good, but has a little learning curve to it. Watch some

of the video's on Do-it molds site, and you can learn a lot.

Great place for Do-It molds and just about anything else related to tackle making. I try to stop by every time I'm in Wichita. It usually ends up costing me some money.
