dchance Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) A while back I asked about making a custom jig mold out of silicone. Had a couple guys generously contact me willing to help. I hooked up with a local guy that does it and he helped me out. Got to fish it and it has worked very well so far. Man is it fun!!

JRammit Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Nice work man!... Making molds is way more rewarding than buying them! Question, how difficult was it making the mold to accept the wire keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
