Try Ebay

To be honest I would buy the parts and make them.
The parts are fairly cheap and easy to assemble.
Solder and a soldering iron. Blades and hooks.
A silicone mold from Reinke brothers.a little acetone.
I use the brush tap method with powder paint.
I won't ever use nail polish on mine. Powder is just so much better at resisting chipping and holding up.

Lure Parts online or Janns Netcraft are 2 I know of. Good luck.

Can anyone find ice jig molds?

Can anyone find ice jig molds?

I've got plenty of molds (over 120 total)for jigs and sinkers etc.
Several of them make jigs I use with great success through the ice.
I guess I'm a bit confused at what exactly your looking for?
Teardrops are made by soldering a hook to a blade with a soldering iron and solder.
Reinke brothers sells a Silicone "mold" for making teardrops. All it really does is hold the components together so both your hands are free to hold the solder and soldering iron.
Please elaborate on what exact "mold(s)" your looking for!

I guess I was thinking they made a mold like the standard walleye jig mold.

Could you please post a picture?
I have a mold called the walleye jig mold or so it says on the side of the mold cast in the aluminum.
The mold is made by Do-it but it's cheaper to buy from vendors such as Barlow's tackle.
There are hundreds of molds available out there for most anything you could want.
Do-it molds run ~$35 each.
There are others but Do-it makes a decent mold at a reasonable price and has the best selection.
Plus there American made!

Can you show me what mold you use for panfish.

Can you show me what mold you use for panfish.

Well we don't have crappie,bluegills,or perch here in AK.
But I'm sure some members here in the jig making forum can help you.
Not that I don't make jigs that would bail the panfish but I'd get the advice of thef someone who fishes for those species.
Making teardrops and similar jigs is easy though and I would recommend looking into making those for sure as I know there a panfish favorite.
They're also very easy to make.

Caseman2 click on the jigging forum.
Then there is another board at the top titled jig making.
I suggest posting your questions there for the most and best replies.
