Great video mate. I'm in Australia and exploring the options for pouring my own. Any chance you could share the details of the melting pot you use and the brand of mould. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Nathan the lead you get have you poured any Midwest Finesse heads with it ? The lead I tried using when the jigs done the hook is loose in the head. Someone said it was to hard of lead ?
Depends on the situation I don’t for swimbaits or stuff I want to stay shiny but for ned rigs and flipping jigs I paint them to make it more natural and match the color of the bait
FYI you can save yourself some time..... Pour them all together so the sprues are touching, they all come out at once instead of taking them out individually
I do the same thing even with dirty lead. Just make the shit people make things too complicated. It's a lead fishing weight or buckshot it's gonna get dirty, lost or bloody anyways. People back in the day didn't have all this fancy stuff and they made out all right
Thats it for me Nathan Unscribe me. Every great show cost me money ! First plastics then all things Raystown Now I am making my own jigs? Whats next? Many Thanks for your time !!
Mmmm.. I’m down to 10 Five gallon buckets full of clean range lead muffins. I can’t lift a bucket so it’s a lot of lead. I’ve been pumping out 9mm and .45 bullets for reloading for years and still have 3 or 4 fish boxes of raw junk filled range lead to smelt down. With all that lead I’m still buying 1 to 10 oz sinkers and jigs at scary prices and it NEVER occurred to me that I could make my own. I probably left 30lbs of lead on the bottom of the big ditch so I’ll be saving enough cake to buy a new reel or maybe a new gun. Yahoo mofo.
Comment below if you would like to see more tackle making videos!
Thank u bro
Great Instructional Video!!! Getting ready to pour my own as well. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Nice video... I make my own sinkers with moulds but never thought of making jig heads.. Might look into it. Cheers. :)
Excellent. Thanks for posting!

Thanks a lot! I get all my stuff from Barlow’s tackle except the lead!
Whats the brand n model of your melting rig
Lee production pot!
Nathan Great video, which mold do you use in particular?? Thanks
The Gamakatsu 604 ball head mold from do it
I’m making crappie jigs. Where can I get the die and heat pot from. And I have a bunch of aluminum. Can I use that to make jig heads
I don’t think you can use aluminum but I bought all my materials from Barlow’s tackle!
What exact lead do u get from roto metals
99 percent pure lead ingots they’re 1 pound ingots
Where did you get your mold at.
Barlow’s tackle
What's the metal company name for the lead you buy?
Rotometals!
Great video! Wondered how involved it would be and not too bad! What would be the initial investment for the pour pot and mould?
I think for the pot mold and components for my first batch was between 150-200 dollars!
Where can i get jig head mold?
Barlows tackle
Have a question on the lead ingots: What size to you order 1# or 5# and is it the 99.9% lead. Thanks for the help.
Yes it is I order the 1 pound ones!
@@nathanquincefishing7122 Thank you!!!! Appreciate it
Where do you get your lead from?
Roto metals!
Where to buy all jig head making setup .
Barlow’s tackle will have it all!
@@nathanquincefishing7122 thanks you bro
@@arabianseafishingtackles6135 yep good luck
Nathan the lead you get have you poured any Midwest Finesse heads with it ? The lead I tried using when the jigs done the hook is loose in the head. Someone said it was to hard of lead ?
I have! Sometimes you get a few loose ones it happens on the smaller sizes
Is painting of jig important ? I mean is it make any difference
Depends on the situation I don’t for swimbaits or stuff I want to stay shiny but for ned rigs and flipping jigs I paint them to make it more natural and match the color of the bait
Where did you buy the mold?
WHERE do you. buy your lead?
Rotometals is good
Sir This Item Purchase Link Plz Send Sir
I've tried doing this with round head 1/8th jig heads and the hook moves after I take them out of the mold. Do you know why this is happening?
I’m not sure I haven’t had that problem with mine?
You can flux the lead with saw dust. Just ask Lowe’s and you can get a bucket full for free.
What does tht do
Can you use range scrap
Possibly! I haven’t tried but I’ve heard of people that have!
where can i buy those tools?
I got mine from Barlow’s tackle!
I like to make this
this is gonna sound silly, but are the savings worth the trouble?
Absolutely! A 5 pack of those jigheads are 5 dollars I pour mine for about 25 cents a jig
FYI you can save yourself some time..... Pour them all together so the sprues are touching, they all come out at once instead of taking them out individually
True!
What type of mask do you use?
N95 filter mask!
@@nathanquincefishing7122 I wouldn’t think that’s enough to stop lead fumes
Keeping that slag on top keeps the lead hot just keep your pot at least half full you will never have a issue just my 2 cents
True! I just keep my pot as hot as it goes and keep it clean and definitely at least half full
@@nathanquincefishing7122 i know it's an eye sore lol
damn I lost all my eyes for these, guess ill have to paint them.
Sir,
I'm from Kerala, India.
Where did you get Jig hook, mold, weasel etc ?
I order all my stuff from Barlow’s tackle not sure if they ship internationally though
