ibock99 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just bought a Do-it Erie rig mold off ebay, not to be confused with the Erie jig. This mold actually uses a wire, so you can add beads or spinners behind the lead head, and then put a hook on the back. I got it just because I have not been able to find another one anywhere online, and I am going to add them to my website. Has anyone done any of these, and could you recomend some colors. I live in S. Mississippi, and have never used this type of set up. When I used to fish Walleye in MN, we used to use a lot of Chartreuse and White. Any other colors? Maybe pics of some of these type rigs? Thanks, KEVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdooradvantage Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I make some spinner rigs for the river and we use a lot of chartruse, green and red. Works well for river walleye and smallies. Hope this helps Jeff......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I used to fish the IL river and the WI river a lot. All the colors you guys mentioned are right on . I personally have done really well with bright pink and flourescent orange. The walleye and sauger like these colors as well tipped with a fathead minnow. BTW can you post a pic of the mold? I am very curious on what it looks like, or I can PM you my e-mail if you would rather do that..............Thanks.

Fatman Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Used to have one but sold it. It is not the same as the old Erie Dearie, which Do-It did have a mold of at one time but now you really have to look on ebay to find. Both work really well Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratos294ho Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hey Guys just found the site. I just purchased an Erie Head Spinnerbait mold. I hope to make some of these and see how they work out. If I can just figure out how to paint them. What do you guys use to paint Spinnerbaits with?

ibock99 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hey Stratos, Where did you find the mold? I could not find them for sale anywhere. Got mine off ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratos294ho Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I called a local Muffler shop that just happens to have some tackle and lure making supplies. He had some molds but was not sure what he had in that box. My dad had told me about the bait before he fished with it back in the 80's. I had read about the copyright stuff with Do-IT and the other company. Well long story short he had one and I bought it brand new for $20.

For painting spinner baits ... pull a search and you will find tons of information on the subject. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie'sPassion Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 On 4/22/2018 at 1:40 PM, smalljaw said: It isn't a patent, it is a trademark or copyright that concerns names like "chatterbait" or "Erie Dearie". Do-it will not have a problem with you calling your jigs the same as they do, the problem is with a bait like the Erie spinner mold and the pony head mold, the Erie spinner is discontinued but the pony head is still in production as there has been a long standing dispute between Blakemore and Do-it. I believe those are the only molds you need to worry about, at least the only ones that I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
