How to pour lead crappie jigs

[@denhaire]

Watching a second time and missed a couple of techniques the first time. Amazed at how easy this is. Thanks so much!

[@bellman3d]

I'm glad the video is helpful

[@denhaire]

Wow-you have probably just filled up the last available time I have with a new hobby. How cool!

[@johnthomas5806]

thanks CW...all information is good...

[@bellman3d]

Thanks

[@gilbyguerrero8786]

Great video. "Side cutters" I have been making my own jigs. Now another hobby. Lol

[@denhaire]

Excellent video!

[@redge3726]

Me too on breaking off the sprue, instead of cutting it. Nice video as always, thanks for that.

Thanks Dave great video!!

[@bellman3d]

Thanks Terry.

Great video! Loved the crash course! I plan on picking up the hobby this winter and have been looking at various do it molds and heating pots. Definitely will get a pot like yours but I have been having a hard time finding do it molds with 1 single size hook slots that has multiple cavities. It seems they mainly make them with multiple sizes per mold. Anyway, any advise on the molds I'm looking for i.e. 1/16 with 6 cavities and any advise for a person new to the hobby before I got buying a bunch of stuff including hooks lol

[@bellman3d]

Make sure the bottom pouring melting pot has an adjustable temperature. I bought all my molds at least 20 years ago when it was easier to find what I was looking for. You might try looking for some used molds

[@ex8280]

I was looking into these, and wondering is there a crappie jighead mold that is for owner's hooks.

[@denhaire]

How interesting!

[@rcracer3235]

Great video lots of detail I am thinking about buying a crappie jig mold and was wondering what you would recommend and what is your favorite size for crappie?

[@bellman3d]

My first few molds had several different weight cavities in them. Purchase the mold that has the cavity size that you most like to use. Also; get a heat adjustable bottom pouring lead pot.

[@mikelabelle420]

Thanks for the info

[@bellman3d]

😁

[@YoungGemma]

Where could i possibly purchase those molds? Awesome job man

[@bellman3d]

Barlows Tackle, Jann's Netcraft, Do-it molds, Amazon, Ebay...

[@berniehaynes7640]

How are you using the 1/8 and 3/16 heads for crappie? Tubes? Enjoying your videos. I have the same mold and use it for bass jigs . Ozark Old Timer

[@bellman3d]

The 3/16 jig will hold a #1 hook and the 1/8 oz jig will hold a #2 hook. Both will fit in a Midsouth tackle 1.75” tube.

[@berniehaynes7640]

Thanks for the reply about the tube heads. Most crappie tubes I’ve tried were too small . I’ll look for the Mid South brand. I’m 80 but not too old to learn. 👍

Have tried to register on Crappie.com 3 times and it’s always rejected. Using my phone.

Finally registered on Crappie.com but can’t figure out how to find your posts.

[@denhaire]

Have you considered sickle hooks? Just curious.

[@bellman3d]

I also make sickle hooks. Different style hooks work better at different times. Certain times of the year they toss their head about successfully throwing the hooks. During those times I use a standard 575 hook because of the more prominent barb. Other times it seems it is harder to get a good hook set meaning missing bites is much more prevalent. During those times I use a sickle hook.

[@berniehaynes7640]

Enjoying your videos. Do you usually use gold jig hooks? Where do you order from ? I’m in southern MO and have used small slab type spoons (silver , white or chartreuse) but haven’t ever had much success. Much of our water is pretty clear . Truman is darker . Have never used ice spoons like you make. Thanks again.

[@paullorn2738]

What size hook

[@bellman3d]

1, 2, 4, & 6

[@denhaire]

And, of course, I watched it the 2d time AFTER I made my first version.

[@MohamedEzekiel]

I think throwing led to the ground is a very bad idea
