Question about football jig molds.

[DG]

I want to pour some 1/2 and 3/4 oz. weedless football jigs with a heavy duty hook. What mold do I need to get? I have a FBW-4-AF which pours 1/4 - 3/4 oz size but it doesn't take the heavy hooks.

Thanks

I think I found the answer. Would it be the FBB-3M-AFM weedless football jig mold?

Do you have a link to that mold?
How heavy of a hook are you looking to use?

I modified mine with a dremel to take thicker hooks with a flat eye.

I ended up using a dremel bit in my drill press and milled the mold out a little to accept the bigger hook eye and used a file to open up the groove for the larger hooks and weed guards. I just finished pouring some 1/2 and 3/4 oz jigs with a 5/0 heavy Gamakatsu hook. They turned out real good. I will still be able to pour 1/4 and 3/8 oz size with the smaller hooks so this works out good.
