I appreciate the info and advice. The teardrop jig looks very similar to the precision jigs by BFISHN tackle I've had success with in the past. I picked up a dremel as well so hopefully making minor mold adjustments isn't too tricky. I'm also looking at a mold with raised bumps to create recessed eyes on the jig I'm thinking of smoothing down.

Hi all, First post and looking to purchase my first mold. I'm trying to pick a mold with a wire keeper for pitching plastics for walleye and have a few questions I'm hoping more experienced pourers can answer. 1. I probably would have chosen the Do-It round head mold (CRJ-6-WBA) but it caps out at 5/16oz rather than 3/8oz. Now I'm looking at the Minnow Head (JMWB-7-A) and Teardrop (JT-7-WBA) molds. Can anyone shed some light on the action of the heads? I fish mostly on lakes so cutting through current isn't a big deal. Would the minnow head style have a more gradual drop down compared to the teardrop's nose-first dive? 2. I'm considering Eagle Claw Lil Nasty hooks. It says they're interchangeable with the 570 but can anyone confirm that? 3. Would using hooks 1 size larger than the recommended size be alright or would it mess with the wire keeper placement? Big thanks for any advice and for all the great content on here!
