Jig Building

[Monkeysaurus]

Does anyone know where I can find a mold similar to the strike king cobra-style heads on the Denny Brauer structure jigs? I’d like to start making my own jigs with better hooks, but can’t find this head design. The hooks that come on the jigs are super sharp Owners and I’ve noticed on more than a few fish I catch that the hook cuts them along the roof of their mouth before it gets a grip and sinks into them. Wondering if it effects my hookup ratio also, so I’d rather just build my own with different hooks than switch jig types.

Any jigs made for production for retail, the molds are usually not available to the public. Those are custom made jigs with custom made molds made only for Strike King. If you want a jig similar to that jig head with a different hook, you will have to buy a custom mold. About $300-$500.

Would it be legal to buy the jig retail, then create my own mold out of some other material without having to pay someone machine-cut a block of metal or buy the expensive mold?

Yes, you can make one for your own personal use. However, you cannot make a mold and sell the mold(s) and or any jigs you make from that mold.

Thank you.
