rxkid2001 TFF Team Angler Registered: 01/26/11 Posts: 3919 Loc: Wishing I was in TX	I have an old jig I'd like to reproduce (not made anymore) but nobody has a mold quite like it. Is the mold making stuff like Larry Dahlburg uses ok for pouring hot lead into? Any other suggestions?

They will make a exact mold for $300 and that is just for one weight jig. Then it will be so much per jig. Don't know if they will let you have the mold? _________________________ Each person you work with holds some promise to your future success. www.eletewater.com - Staying Hydrated www.lakeoviachic.com - Booking Mexico Trips Shallow Water Mapping - Custom Spinner Baits - Jigs -Spooks Pure Extracts - Minnow-Night Crawler-Crayfish-Craylic

Donald Harper TFF Guru Registered: 01/25/08 Posts: 13320 Loc: Justin, TX.	I do not pour; but I have the tools to modify. I can put eyes in jigs that have none and change the shape with the grinding tools. I build custom jigs and would be glad to help you if you need me to do anything to a jig that is close to what you like. _________________________ Each person you work with holds some promise to your future success. www.eletewater.com - Staying Hydrated www.lakeoviachic.com - Booking Mexico Trips Shallow Water Mapping - Custom Spinner Baits - Jigs -Spooks Pure Extracts - Minnow-Night Crawler-Crayfish-Craylic

Spiderman TFF Team Angler Registered: 09/04/06 Posts: 3881 Loc: EAST TEXAS	Send an Email to Paul Mullins at baitmaker2000@hotmail.com with a picture and ask if he can make them. He has made all kinds of jigs for me. All turned out better than I expected. _________________________ The first 5 days after the Weekend are the Hardest.
