Just remind her of all the money you will be saving by pouring your on jig heads.

I have a 5 gallon bucket full of lead molds, another one full of plastic injection molds, and 350-400 lbs of lead. I have a very understanding wife.

I like those Jacobs molds so well that I'm slowly upgrading all of my jig molds to Jacobs. Next will be the 1/8 and 1/16 oz pill head molds.

Man... Am I glad to hear that!! They are about twice the price of the Do-It molds... But I was wondering about the quality! I have heard some good things about them!

My Do it crappie jig molds don't line up perfectly so it takes quite a bit of work to even out the jig head or else the powder cost will look like cr*p.

All of Jacob's molds and some others are made in a machine shop. Do-it's are molded by casting them. You get what you pay for.
