Hey Matt! I’d recommend getting some 1/8” Teflon pins for the weedguards. I pour my jigs with Teflon in the weedguard hole and the paint doesn’t stick as bad as it does to the metal pins.
@@MattLunaFishing I feel you man! I used the metal pins for a while. I noticed with the Teflon you can get all the way down to the hook because one or two of my molds didn’t let the metal pin get all the way to the hook. It’s also nice because you can leave them in after pouring and paint and everything without worrying about the metal having a ton of paint stick to it
@@MattLunaFishing Yes sir! I have multiples of my favorite Do-it molds. It's a great and versatile design. Also, after watching your best Do-it molds episode, I bought multiples of the ones I didn't already have. Keep up the great work!
@@MattLunaFishing I love cranking them out to barter with my local tackle shop, and of course gifting them to my close buddies! Made lot's of people happy this Christmas. That football head with keeper mold is winner too.
In your opinion does it matter whether you let the jig hang or position the jig up to prevent paint sagging? Just new to this and wanting the jigs to come out nice
I’m just learning this. Question do you reuse the weed gaurd pin?? I have pants on, but I cannot figure out how to do it without getting paint in the pinhole if I do pull the pin
When it comes to the base hole pin, I reuse them. They will get paint on them, so you just need to clean them. I put mine in a cheap coffee mug and pour acetone into the cup and clean them that way.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it. That tool isn’t around anywhere anymore from what I can tell. I don’t even remember the name. I bought it at a swap meet probably 15 years ago.
It all depends on what components you use. Click the DoIt molds link and check it all out there. I do it mostly for the fun, but it still does end up cheaper than a store bought jig.
Will for sure catch fish and looks great
Thanks!!
Just started making this jig your videos are helpful thanks just wanted to give you a huge thank you!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear the videos are helpful! Feel free to reach out with questions!
looks really good!
Thank you!
They both look heavenly!!!! Maybe you can throw your Christmas tree in pool and work the jigs threw it and film🤔 or not🤣
Lol. That pool isn’t mine so probably not! Ha
Just got this mold for Christmas but I have had trouble with pouring complete jigs. I'm going to try the dry lube. Thanks.
You’re welcome! It should help! Just make sure everything is hot!
Good video here, about to watch it again on TH-cam even though I just watched it on instagram
Thanks for watching it! Really appreciate the views! Glad you like the video!
@@MattLunaFishing me watching = WINNING
For sure

Thanks. I’ve been doing it this way for years. Just what I know. I should get some to try out.

That’s pretty cool you can leave them in
I have three!
Three of these molds?

That’s awesome! Glad you got some you didn’t have. A lot of good molds were mentioned in that video. This hybrid grass jig mold is a good one!

Love that mold! One of my favorites. I catch a lot of fish on that!
It’s definitely a killer mold for sure the 1/8 Teflon pins slide when powder painting so you don’t have to use the mold pins
Might have to give them a shot
Thanks so much for your super helpful videos!
Why are you spraing dry lube, what is the proupose?
Thanks again!
You’re welcome for the video. The dry lube helps the lead go in better. I only use it when I’m having issues getting complete pours.
is there much difference between this mold and the poison tail outside of the collar being different
They are similar molds. Probably boils down to personal preference. The heads are shaped a little differently.
Would like too see how they go through rocky. River rock. Limestone rock. Upper. Mississippi River.
It’s more designed to fish around grass. Eel grass etc.
In your opinion does it matter whether you let the jig hang or position the jig up to prevent paint sagging? Just new to this and wanting the jigs to come out nice
They don’t have to be in an upright position. When i started I hung the upside down. You’ll only have issues when you have too much paint on the jigs

Where can I find the Skirt Tool ???
Unfortunately you can’t! At least not that i know of. I bought this one at a swap meet years ago. I don’t think they are made anymore
Great mold! I really enjoy the videos, Thank you! What is the name of the tool that you were using to make the skirts?
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it. That tool isn’t around anywhere anymore from what I can tell. I don’t even remember the name. I bought it at a swap meet probably 15 years ago.
@@MattLunaFishing, well that was not the answer that I was looking for. Thanks for the reply.
Sorry. I honestly don’t think it’s made any longer.
Damn good looking jigs what's your approximate cost per jig to make one and how much was the mold?
It all depends on what components you use. Click the DoIt molds link and check it all out there. I do it mostly for the fun, but it still does end up cheaper than a store bought jig.
I figured that much at least I was just curious as to whether the savings really made it worth doing or it was more just a fun hobby
It can be both. I still think you should take a look at the website and see for yourself.
@@MattLunaFishing will do sir
