Thanks for doing these. Can't wait to see how it all turns out! If you are looking for future ideas, it would be great to incorporate a screw lock and a rattle.
E. This is amazing bro... It was a dream for me to do this when I started 3d printing but you made it a reality. You really found a safe, unique way of getting it done. Great job my friend. Oh and yes please make a video on everything. This is helpful and inspiring for all of us. Thanks
Thanks! I'm glad it's entertaining and at least somewhat educational! I'll be sure to include the lead version people seem to want to see it. I do agree though the urethane version is much safer a little easier and a lot less fuss!
I don’t understand how the lead shots stayed centered in the head ? Wouldn’t they drop to the bottom and block the plastic as is poured through the sprue ?
The urethane before it sets is slightly thicker than water. So when the urethane is poured into the mold it filters through the lead shot and gets stopped by the mold. The lead shot is then trapped in the urethane when it hardens. As long as you can pour the mixture quickly it works well, if the urethane sets up too quickly then some times it fails to get to the edge of the mold, only happens rarely though.
That would be interesting, might have to make it a rotational mold and then spin it with urethane inside to get it to create a hollow cavity, I could see it working for larger jigs.
I felt the same way for sure, I tried this same design in lead a little after this video, it worked pretty well. Not sure how long the silicone will hold up but it's been through about 10-15 pours so far and has held up pretty well. You can check out that video here if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/mBbtJnv_NzU/видео.html Thanks for watching! I hope the videos help you save some money!
Most definitely, seems like people want to know, I have one video in edit for making the skirts and the 4th will be the lead pour and the settings I used.
@@RevampedOutdoors I pour my own jigs and weights in do-it molds now. I have been tinkering with the idea of getting a printer for making blanks for pouring soft baits I never thought about jigs. I like the idea of how you poured these jigs with epoxy. Keep up the great experiments.
@@Fishhunter78 nice! Without getting too ahead of myself it is definitely working, I don't know about production runs but for personal use the molds are holding up to the heat of the lead really well.
Sorry missed the weight at the end of the vid. Thx great one again. Will try this out for sure
No worries! The weight is a pretty important part of the project. Give it a go and tag me, I'd like to see what you come up with!

Nice! I'll have to think over the plastic keep screw idea, would be nice for the swimbait jig head!
love this channel thank you so much for your efforts
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Yes, make another video for the lead part. Please and thank you!
Will do!

Definitely wanna see the lead mold. Will try this mold for my Pike jigs. Thx. Any idea what the weight of this jig is gonna be?
@ShallowCastLures Hey man, Yes please do a video on the lead, You always give great info Happy Holidays
Will do!
What about taking this in a different direction and making a floating jig. Would be very interested in seeing that.
That would be interesting, might have to make it a rotational mold and then spin it with urethane inside to get it to create a hollow cavity, I could see it working for larger jigs.
@@RevampedOutdoors or is there a ratio of micro spheres and resin that will float.
@@garrettjohnson3000 true true, didn't think about that, much easier lol
Yes want to see the lead in mold
Will do! Working on the edit now, should be up sometime soonish...eventually lol.
Please do a mold using lead I'd like to see that it holds up. I want to make my own jigs but to get an aluminum mold is to $$$

I would love to see if the lead will work in the mold
