Junk Fisherman Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Looking for a mold for 1/2 oz, 3/0 60 degree tube jigs for deep water smallies or cracking a tube. Those Bite Me Jigs at $1+ per are too much considering how often I lose them. Any info is appreciated. Quote

mc6524 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Since you are fishing deep sallies my guess is you’re around rock piles etc. and snags may be an issue. I slide a bell sinker inside my tube and then Texas rig it. If the bell sinker is too big you can also use a tungsten weight. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 9, 2019 Super User Posted November 9, 2019 I have a Do It for 3/8 oz 90° hook. I’ve used it to 60’ for winter spots on Table Rock. If you can’t find what you are looking for you may be able to use one of them. Quote
Super User WRB Posted November 10, 2019 Super User Posted November 10, 2019 Do-It molds has 60 degree hook eye "skirted jig" (tube jig) mold to 3/8 oz, contact them they may have what you need. Tom Quote
onthewater102 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 If you've found a jig style you like but are turned off because it uses a 90 degree hook you can always modify the mold. It's so easy to change the hook eye position in most molds - as long as the mold doesn't require you to pin the hook eye to keep it clean that is. All you need is a dremel. Of the 20+ molds I have I think only a handful haven't been modified. The extra hook eye positions just fill with a little tab of lead when you pour the jig that you can twist right off. I also mark slots for wires so I can make spinnerbaits with many of my jig molds, though I imagine a tube jig might not be one you'd want to turn into a spinnerbait. Quote

RTV silicone is what I use to cover voids in modified molds. Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 There are several weedless bass jig molds that would fit inside a tube. If there is a style u like, you can just mold without the weedguard sovthe jud will fit inside the tube. Quote
