Tried the 0 SS sinker insert with a 3/0 & 4/0 spinner bait hook. Worked really well, and happy with the results thank ypu.

Have you done it? That would work great since I have a crap load of spinner bait hooks

I'm not sure why anyone assumes I was looking for a mold, A discontinued mold, or looking to have one replicated. I'm not. My comment was just that they weren't very good with customer service. Others may have different interactions with them. In the past year I've experienced having wrong molds shipped to me, orders broken up shipping wise and being charged shipping for 3 shipments instead of one. Incorrect hooks were sent. They just substituted the hooks without asking. Those type of things. In the past they were good...since covid terrible. I will say that since covid just about every company sucks at service.

I don't like to modify molds

Eye is turned wrong way for mold.

In my experiance Do-it isn't very customer friendly or oriented. Since they are basically the only game in town......they don't need to be. Helpful is not a word they seem to know.

Since the mold has been discontinued. I am looking for a hook substitute that would work. If I could find a long shank Aberdeen hook with the eye turned......I think it would work. Below is the hook that it is supposed to use.

Anybody use popcorn salt?

Nice. Is that how most guys rig it.

I’ve had some pretty good days on buzz baits….and it’s nice when fishing ponds with a number of smaller bass in them since it seems to catch the larger fish.

How do you rig/hook that 6in ?

Both work. Manufactures have started to make the bottom one because it has less wire and saves a few pennies. Overall it isn’t as good a design IMO. Not that it doesn’t work. The design flaw is when you get a good fish hooked….it can straighten out the bend in the wire by pulling the bend straight. The top design doesn’t have that issue because the line tie point is straight in line with the hook.

I built a Spray station I thought they turned out ok for my first try.
