Awesome video skimpy. One thing I'd highly recommend is fluxing your lead before you pour anything. Add a little piece of paraffin wax to the lead and step back. It will produce a little flame in the pot, but this will help rid the lead of impurities. Just scoop the junk off the top and you're ready to go. Hope this helps.
@ThatGuySkimpy8 жыл бұрын
Travis Smith thanks !!! I actually do flux it every now and then. The lead I have is pretty "clean". Appreciate the tip though !

Can you use a 5/0 straight shank on the 1/2 or would that be to much? If so do I have to modify where you place the hook?

@thesmitty11308 жыл бұрын
Also, cut down a base hole pin so that it sits just above the head. This will keep all that lead from spewing out when pouring your spinnerbaits. I did the same thing you did for pouring spinnerbaits, but I use the swim jig mold.

I have the trokar arky jig and swim jig molds and the collars won't pour correctly unless I hear it up each time with a torch. How'd you get you collars to pour all the way.
@ThatGuySkimpy8 жыл бұрын
Make sure you "smoke" the mold and keep the mold hot. Make sure no dirt or anything is blocking. Cleaner lead helps. If upsizing the hooks yuh can sometimes run into issues. I used to use the pour pot, now I like just using the ladle. I get better results

Thanks !!!! Yeah it's 1 of my favorite jigs !!!! I get a lot of stuff straight from Do-It Molds. That way you know you are getting the right hooks and stuff. I do get my skirts from FishingSkirts.com though. I sometimes get the skirts from Do-It Molds, but fishingskirts.com has more to chose from. Good luck with whatever molds you get. I would also recommend the Trokar Arkie Jig from Do-It. That thing is awesome !!!!
