Question ??? For the line connection… have you thought about / tried an offset fish shank ?? I use them as the connection point and a platform to tir skirts on when I tie my weightless whissper jig I learned from SDG custom lure craft …. They are preformed and come in many sizes So I thought it would be perfect for your application 👍.no need for special tools to bend wire 😎
Yes I wanted to use them but couldn't find any locally so I used the wire form. If I can find the correct size to fit the mold it sure would save alot of time !!!
@@ThatGuySkimpy ya ..I ordered some I thought was the same as Adam used .. ended up being like 1/4” long not 3/4” 🤦. I’m like WTH am I gonna use these dinky things on I don’t tie trout flies … cost more to ship them back than just keep um …. Ugh …🤷♂️. ………Kewl build thou !! where did you get the 2nd set of pliers to crimp the bends
Right on Brother. I remember watching you years ago and said to myself I wonder if "That Guy Skimpy" is still rock'in then wham-o this popped up. Nice video can't wait to see more 👍
The top of the skip gap hook didn’t look like it left enough room on the bigger jig sizes to hold the soft plastic after it was poured, JW might even have to use super glue to hold the bait
@@ThatGuySkimpy that’s would be awesome if you can! I only own the hybrid grass jig so I can’t experiment myself but would love to hear back. Maybe even a regular football jig head and bending wire after?
I don't think would be that hard, BUT depending on how long the clip is it could get in the way of the next cavity and wouldn't be able to pour the next size down. If that makes sense ? So you would prob have to do every other cavity. And get another mold and do the missing cavities
Yes both sides. When you line up the hook where you want it and close the mold tight and can even put in a vice, it will leave a mark on both sides of the mold so you will know where to cut

And the ones I did order didn't fit

Thanks Bro great idea! JW Jigs
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great mod! Ideas flowing!
Thank you 💪🏽
Yo, that's a dope custom football head! Nice work!
Thanks bro
Great job!! Very sweet
Thank you 💪🏽

💪💪💪💪💪
Hey skimpy! I forgot all about you man. Good news is I’ve got a lot of videos to back and watch. Glad your still at it👍
Thanks for the support brother
Cool idea and execution. Now let’s see it in action.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I use a straight shank hook and cut it to length of the hook eye to the mold eye. This allows me to make different size Ned rigs as well! Try it out!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great Idea! I have a football jig that I don’t use that often. I should try this.
Yeah man do it !!!! Let me know how it works out
@@ThatGuySkimpy Iight take it in to work and have a CNC machine it out for me.
@@toyoumy88CNC’s are always handy to use
Making your own wire forms can be so time consuming but opens the door for so many options like this one!! Well done
Agreed. It takes alot to make the wireforms but glad it worked out. I tried a bunch of pre-made ones and they didn't work out
The top of the skip gap hook didn’t look like it left enough room on the bigger jig sizes to hold the soft plastic after it was poured, JW might even have to use super glue to hold the bait
I see what your saying. He hasn't mentioned any issues since I gave them to him. But def something to think about for next mod. Thanks
That's badass
💪
Awesome brotha, look at you and your engineering skills. Awesome!!
Lol thanks brother
Very nice buddy! I used to love that hook!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thanks bro
You could use the wobblehead mold and put a weedless ned hook in it. World about the same. Really nice with some floating worms
BEAUTIFUL work my friend! Lots of time in on that jig. Well done.
BTW, you accidentally left the tag on the bill of your hat LMAO---CUDA
Hahahahahah. What up Cuda
I’d love to see a video of modified swing head like the strike king or mustad where the hooks are interchangeable after pouring.
I will look into it. I think you would have to make your own wireforms for it.
@@ThatGuySkimpy that’s would be awesome if you can! I only own the hybrid grass jig so I can’t experiment myself but would love to hear back. Maybe even a regular football jig head and bending wire after?
Weedless rigs are crucial in the river
More modifications cast molds videos. Keep them coming Skimpy
Appreciate the support brother
Also, I’d like to see a mold mod for a Mustad Fastach interchangeable Swinging Football jighead
Ohhh man, love it. Got my brain thinking now!!!!!
I don't think would be that hard, BUT depending on how long the clip is it could get in the way of the next cavity and wouldn't be able to pour the next size down. If that makes sense ? So you would prob have to do every other cavity. And get another mold and do the missing cavities
@thatguyskimpy Does this mean that you’ll do it then?
Just wandering how the epoxy holds up in the oven ? Bought all the stuff to build them
That is awesome. Good job. What other custom molds do you have?
Poisontail jig to make spinnerbaits.
GREAT Job my Man Skimpy those are nice and that was a good idea very nice 👍
Thanks brother 💪🏽
Nice work bud I like that hook set up and the way you did it
Thanks for the support
Do you need to Dremel both sides of the mold? I was thinking of modifying my mold as well!
Yes both sides. When you line up the hook where you want it and close the mold tight and can even put in a vice, it will leave a mark on both sides of the mold so you will know where to cut
Can I buy some jigs from you?….
