I never saw any jigs like that, it could be that they're tails that were bought and put on the jig heads.

Yeah I am stumped, looks like they would be killer. Been searching 2 days now and still can't find anything like them. Almost looks like a leech body.

That's my thought also! Those are just regular painted lead jig heads with tails attached! Now all we need to do is figure out where to find the tails!! You can find the jigs almost anywhere!! Good luck on the tails!!!

A guy could hand pour those fairly easily...

I was thinking the same thing dont know where I would get a mold or even start.

Chris338378 · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 30, 2014, 11:38 AM »

That looks like them. I'd give them a call and see what they have to say, maybe it's a seasonal item.

So my brother sent me that picture yesterday morning. Not telling me where he found those or any info on them. I sent him the link showing him that website thinking I found them. He was suprised I found anything close to it. He tells me he found them on ebay looking under ice fishing. well I found the add and bought a 48pack they come in 3 colors. here is the link as of now 1 48pack kit is left.

Dang!!!! $12 shipping??

I hope you like them!!! At least you found what you were looking for!!!

Chris338378 · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 30, 2014, 06:39 PM »

I'm glad you found them. I wonder who makes them. Did you by chance give that company a call to see if they're the ones that make them?

rags · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 01, 2014, 05:33 PM »

I contacted the company today and they will not be making anymore of them , I tried buying the molds and they said they will be destroyed

Chris338378 · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 01, 2014, 05:47 PM »

That sucks big time. What about trying to make a mold yourself or get a hold of of foundry and ask them if they could make you a mold for them?

OldSailor · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 01, 2014, 05:48 PM »

As Chris338378 said, you can have molds made duplicating them, or make your own!!!

rags · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 01, 2014, 06:07 PM »

I am working on that

Chris338378 · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 01, 2014, 06:27 PM »

Please keep us posted on how you make out with the mold and which fish hit on them. I think the easiest way to get material to make them would be to buy some tube jigs and melt them down. I'm sure there'll be some trial and error but I'm sure you'd figure it out fast. If you wanted to I'm sure there's some guys on here who'd buy some if you make them.

DO- It makes a mold like this only a bit cleaner looking plastic.
It is called Mo's Magic. There are a few places selling them.
I just ordered some from Bobs jigs. He calls them a Texas wiggler.

I am sure other places will be selling this soft plastic design as well.
Good luck.

I will be trying to make a mold for these jigs. I am just trying to figure out how to keep the same bends the tail part makes any suggestions?

SeisMec · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 02, 2014, 07:14 AM »

If you knew someone with a 3D plastic printed you could have them print out a template of one. Then you could use that to get your molds made.

RANDAL801 · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 02, 2014, 07:19 AM »

Thanks, I might know someone.

Making a mold is fairly easy. Lots of youtube videos on how to make one using plaster of paris or a longer lasting and more durable RTV silicone mold.
If you need a hard master you can make one out of sculpey clay then bake it to make it hard.
I would first try them out to make sure they work as planned. You may also want to modify it in some way to suit your needs better and thats good to know before you make your mold.
I do know a CNC mold maker who can make an aluminum mold for you but it wont be cheap. Easily $150 or more with him doing the CAD work for you first.
If your interested send me a PM. I have used him for lead molds and he runs a first class operation.He also does a lot of soft plastic molds.
Like I said earlier You might also want to try a Mo's Magic as they already have an aluminum mold for them amd they have already proven to work incredibly well on everything from crappie to bass and the design is quite similiar.
