Default Floater Jig Mold

This is a floater jig mold that my buddy and I made last year. It worked great! Wish we'de have made it sooner. It makes 20 jigs that have a body
5/16" Dia. x 7/16" long. We got the matl. on line and will have enough for years and years to come. I'm not in the Jig Mold business ,but thought that folks may be interested. If I get at least 10 requests I will make them for $75 each. send me a PM and I will reply. If I get going soon enough, I'll have them in a couple weeks IE in plenty of time to load this springs ammo.

Jig Master 2000 and fixens -- It uses a 1/0 Hook






Un trimmed jigs. It takes 10 seconds to trim flashing off with your finger nail.

You get a mold that can make up to 20 floating jigs at a time.

Here's how they look out of the mold and then painted.
If you make sure all the hooks are seated properly in the mold you dont get a bit of flash. The unpainted jig you see pictured below was out of the mold in that condition.NO trimming needed. Even if you do happen to get a batch with flash around them it only takes a few seconds a jig to scrape it off with you fingernail.

What is the white foamy stuff in the bag called that you pour or inject in the mold called, and where can you buy it? (If you don't mind telling me or you can PM me). Thanks in advance.

I believe it is called polystyrene, and you can get it on ebay.

What is the gap on that 1/0 hook?
