WTB: Custom jigheads

[fishingtx]

I have quite a few jig heads that I need made. I have specs for all of the jigheads I need except for one. I am looking for someone that can produce these as specific as possible to my design and also work with me to figure out a few things. These jigheads don't exist in retail to my knowledge and I figured one of you probably has the ability to help me out.

If you have prototypes you probably need a spincaster.  There is at least one on here.  Are you looking for dozens, hundreds, or thousands.

Dozens, I have no clue what spincaster means though.

Good luck with that project.  Custom cnc molds will run you hundreds for each style and you would have to do your own pouring.  Google spin casting and see what is involved in making them.

Then I will forget my ideas.😂

There is no need to get that drastic.   Take some time and explore your options.  After all you have only gotten my advice.  Someone else may offer you a solution.

Cast Industries has the ability to make whatever you want. They design the bait in some CAD program and then make a mold. Master creation is like $350? and the production mold is about the same. One made they pour the heads for you and charge a piece rate based on hook, paint, eyes, etc. Keep in mind this is a single size mold. If you want 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2oz they will have to make 3 molds.

 

Your best cheap option is Bugmolds in Ukraine. They will make you a hand pour in like 3 different sizes for like $200. I have some of their molds and can say they work well. There downside is they get really hot, really fast compared to say a Do-It mold. This downside just means you can't sit down and pour 200 heads in an hour. I have a drop shot mold from them that after 5 pours its too hot to hold even with welding gloves.
