    swim jig mold

    I want to close off the collar and just mold in the wire keeper on a swim jig mold. Looking for something temporary that i can remove after i pour a few.

    The rubber skirt collar is simple and easy. I keep one handy all the time just for stuff like that.

    Used the rtv,worked for what i needed. To use the skirl collar do you slice it and put it around the hook and keeper.
    Thanks for the info.

    But, you don’t have to cut it. You can thread it onto the hook

    Easier for me to remove if cut.
