Lead pouring

[WIII-60]

I want to start pouring weight and jigs. What mold options are out there? Do-it? Who else?

Depends on what you want to make.  Sometimes you can get old cast iron molds on ebay from Palmer and Advante (sp) and with a little trimming for flash (extra thin lead along sides) you get a jig or sinker every bit as good as DO IT.  Search ebay under Lead Molds and you'll find them.

Now if you want to get fancy and design a jig yourself you can check with Shawn Collins and Dragon Fly lures.

You need casting equipment, you can get an old campstove and old cast iron pot and long handled ladels or get Lee Production pots, or Hot Pots.  

Depending on what state you're in you might have to go with with non-lead which is REAL expensive.  

If you need more info let us know.

Right on.

I'm wanting to pour jigs, drop shots, and eventually if I can find a mold I like (i.e. spot remover), shaky heads.

I've got the basics covered I believe. Just need to find mold options.

Do-It, Palmer and Hilts are the companies that I know of that produce standard molds. Shawn Collins makes custom hand pour molds but since he is good and one of the only ones you will wait awhile on a custom mold. Dampeoples had a spotremover mold he was going to sell at one time but besides that Iam not sure if anyone else would have one?

Okay maybe I know it by another name but have you got a photo of a spotremover???  To find older molds on ebay search DO - IT molds, and the other one is Lead Molds.  This should bring up all of them.

You can still get Hilts molds!! They are now being sold by

Dolphin Sports Inc. If you can't find them on the web IM me and I'll give you the web addy as I can't post any here yet.
