Do-It molds it what i have. takes a little getting used to, like pouring several empty molds to get the temperature of the mold correct, purity of lead, etc. if you have any questions i'll try to help

Do-It is a good source for lead molding items. I ran across www.nakedbaitco.com earlier today and their Skirt Expander looks pretty cool for making skirts. If you're planning to pour lead or plastic, set up a dedicated work space and plan to have a clean, organized area. A mini assembly line will work best to avoid accidents.

My molds are from www.Do-itmolds.com , my skirt material comes from www.fishingskirts.com, I have an expander from www.Nakedbaits.com, I do order some stuff from www.Barlows.com my lead melter is a 4 pounder and I get my lead from Sable steel here in Montgomery. I have alot of time and money invested and it is starting to pay off. Here is an example of what I have poured.... "Honor to the soldier, and Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause.

He has good stuff... btw, Most of my skirt material is silicone.. has more of a tendancy to float and move around in the water when sitting still. Mag, I use 32798BLN Mustad hooks. I like the way the flat eye hook goes through grass. You can pull it easier (I think) than the inline hook... "Honor to the soldier, and Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause.
