Pouring jig heads

[PREDATOR]

Anybody out there using anything other than lead to make jig heads. I notice that sinkers are coming in a variety of alternate materials. I would be interested in getting a tube jig mold from page 7 of the fishing equipment and fishing accessories page of the BFT superstore and pouring up some brass or alternate metal heads. But I haveno expirience, have heard of no one doing this, and havee no idea how it would best be done.

Sorry but lead melts at around 800-900 degrees where as brass is more like 1600-1700, your molds are made of aluminum which depending on the alloy can melt as low as 1500 deg or so, so the brass would melt the mold.

Just stick with lead or premade heads with good hooks you'll be better off in the long run.
