What brand of mold are you using?

[@makeshiftlures]

Hello Steve I got this mold online on ebay. The seller was Fishing4u however on the mold its written Yourmold. Its made from aluminium I believe. Hope that helps you out.

@@makeshiftlures It does. Thank you. I want to give this style of fishing a try and I have several boxes of flies to experiment with. Have a great day.

Never ever put cold lead into molten lead! Steam explosion in a molten lead pot makes the process less enjoyable.

@matefodor330 thank you for your comment. I new that lead have to be dry but didn't think it would make a difference if it's cold. Thanks for the tip.

@@makeshiftlures Solid clean lead dont cause problems to often, the old "junky" lead is much more dangerous, old lead pipes, or old used bullets for example. Maybe its look bone dry, but a little amount of water can hide anywhere. Best metod is to stack your peaces when the upper part is sill solid.

@@makeshiftlures preheating the mold is also a good idea. I neer molded jig heads, but a tons of lead bullets for my riffle, and its always worked.
