    question about do-it molds

    alright. so i am looking at getting some jig molds,just have some questions. does anyone have any finished pictures of what they look like? i was looking at the poison tail mold, and the football head mold. and what "customizing" as they state will i have to do to use a owner hook?

    Go to Barlow's tackle and they have pictures of the finished product per mold type. Now in regards to the Owner hooks, which ones are you planning on using?

    C-Man is right Barlows has pics of the finished product. As for customizing I do not know what they mean? If a mold says it takes 3/0 60 degree Eagle claw hooks I have never had a Owner hook that didn't fit.

    Re: question about do-it molds (dan2173)

    I customized my football jig mold to take a heavier duty hook and a flat eye. the one they are made for was a wire hook and I wanted something stiffer. I just took the hook I wanted and put it in the mold ans squeezed REALLY hard together and it made an imprint in the aluminum. Then I took a dremel and slowly cut out the space needed to fit that hook. wasn't too bad.

    Barlow's lists the hooks that are used with their molds. I asked Do-it about custom options from the factory and they said that wasn't available.

    Do it does sell the blank molds but you would have to take it to a machine shop to have what you want cut into it or do it yourself if you have the tools.
