Making a weedguard doit mold into a shakey head

[Gloomisman]

I dont have pics uploaded yet. But here is 2 ways to do it.

Parts needed for option 1. this one takes time unless you have a lathe or some other way of cutting down aluminium quick

Medium hitch hikers

Regular pin for do it molds believe its 1/8 base hole pin.

file and sand paper

hacksaw

marker

1 Lay the pin in the mold and mark it flush with the outside of the jig head.

2. Cut the pin at mark

3. measure the length of the spring portion of the hitch hiker and transfer

the length to the pin you just cut

4. Tape behind the mark to prevent file from cutting into the rest of the

pin

5. cut pin to I.D. of the hitch hiker

Your done just put the hitch hiker on the pin put in the mold and hook it around the hook and start pouring.

The easy way but gives a little less appealing result

I belive it was a #45 drill bit.

this fits perfectly inside the hitch hiker and will hold tight in the mold when closed.

Making these takes more time then a standard jig head but is better then paying a 1 each. The poisons are awsome because the angle the worm will sit and the head stands by itself. You can use this on any 1/8 hole pin mold and it will work. Atleast on a roundhead and a poison mold.
