Best Jig Mold? Making jigs with the Do-It Molds Poison Tail Jig Mold

[@billybooth3237]

That's the exact way I put my eyes on. Never had a problem

[@MattLunaFishing]

Me either!

[@jimboslice7389]

Forgot to add a teflon weed guard to my casting jig mold once. When I pulled out the poured mold. That’s when i realized I could also make swimbait jig heads. 😮 you let the cat out of the bag Matt. Love the content.

[@MattLunaFishing]

That’s one way to find out! Ha. Thanks for watching the videos! Means a lot!

[@Joseph-mz5mc]

Certainly one of the most versatile jigs.

[@MattLunaFishing]

For aure

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey matt thanks for the video I'm retired now and I'm on a budget and I'm going to start building my own jigs again. The poison tail looks like a good flipping jig. The grass jighead looked like a good flipping jig. God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Making your own jigs is pretty fun as well. Colors are only limited to your imagination!

​@@MattLunaFishingbro HOW HARMFUL IS TO WORK ON LEAD MELTING WITH NO GLOVES, CLEAR LENS GLASSES, AND FACE MASK EITHER?

[@MattLunaFishing]

@adrianvargas1530 no idea

[@davidwilliams1805]

Thanks! 👍👍

[@MattLunaFishing]

You’re welcome

[@allangourd4877]

I like to buy them.

[@menglee6]

is there a mold that only have one size hook like all the cavity are 3/8 only

[@MattLunaFishing]

Depends on the specific mold, but not this one. This mold is all multiple sizes. Typically you can use one size up or down from what size hook the mold calls for

[@chrisforvour8900]

Anyone else have a fitment issue. The 32886NP-BN doesn’t fit the poison, tail jig, mold PTJ-3-AFS. There in 4/0. Is it just me?

[@MattLunaFishing]

If i remember correctly the poison tail calls for a 28 degree hook. Some 30 degree will work but some won’t. I don’t remember the hook i used in this video

[@kentondenny7323]

Can you use different sized hooks for the weights ? i often use 3/0 hooks but all my weights vary for the 3/0 hooks depending on what the current is doing..

[@MattLunaFishing]

To a point yes. You’ll just have to see what works for the specific weights you want to make

[@melvinnewbern693]

How did you cut down the base hole pin? Im having this problem right now in one of my molds the pin doesn’t fit for the size hook I want to use

[@MattLunaFishing]

I just used a pair of diagonal pliers

[@delacrux247]

Wich hook you use for 1/8-1/4-3/8 ??

[@MattLunaFishing]

Depends on what I’m going g to rig on the head. I pair the hook to the intended soft plastic. The mold also gives you a hook size for the specific cavity. Usually you can up or down one size.

[@JavierTristan-dr1ob]

Base hole pin what size ?

[@MattLunaFishing]

1/8

[@minkenator]

Hey Matt, I was wondering, i just got stuff to start making jigs, when your melting pot is on where is a good heat setting to keep it on?

[@MattLunaFishing]

I leave mine on full blast the whole time!

[@minkenator]

@Matt Luna Fishing alrighty sounds good and thank you, keep up the great videos dude!

[@MattLunaFishing]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask questions anytime!

[@franciscobravo6139]

What hook did you use for the 3/8 ?

[@MattLunaFishing]

I think i used a 3/0

[@edrobison2232]

Have you ever poured the 1/8 oz?? If so what hook and base hole pin did you use?

[@MattLunaFishing]

I'm pretty sure I have, but I don't recall having issues with the basehole pin. I imagine I would have used the regular ones.

[@edrobison2232]

@@MattLunaFishing I had to buy some 5/64 brass rods for the base hole pin and owner hooks to be able to pour any at all. Thanks

[@edrobison2232]

They also take the FG 12 weed guard

[@MattLunaFishing]

Got it. I’m glad you figured something out. I know i haven’t gotten creative to make it work.

[@derrickmorrisfishing3896]

Matt. Did you have to modify the mold to accept the Mustad 32886NP BN?

[@MattLunaFishing]

No. That hook works just fine!

[@derrickmorrisfishing3896]

@@MattLunaFishing awesome! Thanks bud! I don’t like the EWG hook, and need the heavier wire hook for the grass around here.

[@MattLunaFishing]

The molds generally accept a handful of hook styles. They may be made specifically for 1 style hook, but generally other brands will work.
