    Mold Question

    My buddy wanted me to pour him some 3/16oz dart/bullet heads, but I cannot find a 3/16oz. Did they ever make them? Are they an older molds out of production? Any help would be great. Thanks.

    We always just ground out a 1/8th ounce cavity or two.

    I would pour the 1/4 oz with some lead/tin/environmetal/bismuth mix.

    That's how I would do it.

    Or buy a "Minnow Head Jig" mold from do it molds. They offer a few different ones in that size.

    Do-it mold JB-7-48 ( 1/8 oz / 1/4 oz ) Bullet jig was the very first mold I bought years ago
    The 1/4 oz size jig head weighs lighter than advertised and actually comes in at about 3/16 oz after pouring with a 3/0 Gami light wire hook
