Pouring lead into silicone? (MakeJig) - Episode 4

This video is the fourth video of a series in which I made a custom bass jig from scratch. I designed and fabricated the jig from the ground up. Using only a jig hook, a fiber weed guard and a skirt collar I will try and replicate a common largemouth bass jig in the football head style. In this video Episode 4 I used the previous molds I made out of mold max 60 silicone to make a lead head jig version of what I had made previously. I used the lee production pour pot to pour the lead into the mold and the silicone held up remarkably well. I also used pro-tec powder coating for the jigs instead of traditional jig paint. In episode 1 I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to design the mold that will house the weedguard and the hook where I will then pour in a two part urethane plastic around bird shot to create a pseudo lead head design. The jig will be designed with a plastic keep that will hopefully help hold on a soft plastic trailer that I have previously designed (in other videos on this channel).

I then poured out individual jig heads with integrated weedguards, I also made 2 additional molds. One of the extra molds will be used in the future to make lead jig head versions of the football head jigs. The second mold is a 3 cavity mold of the same jig head which allows me to make 3 jigs at a time. I used number 8 lead shot shell shot to weight down the jig heads and the end result seems to work well. I poured these jigs with a two part urethane from Smooth-on called SmoothCast (320) of the 300 series which cures extremely fast in about 10 minutes and allows the mold to produce multiple jigs very quickly.

Using rotary blades I cut the skirts with a multi tool that I have designed in Fusion 360 and printed on the Anet A8 3D printer. The skirt material was pigmented using different pigments in the slicpig line of Smooth-on pigments (not sponsored). I designed a skirt threading tool that allows the skirt collar to be placed over the skirt material before threading the whole jig skirt on to the jig itself. I have had a lot of success catching largemouth and smallmouth bass with a skirted weedless bass jig presentation in the past and I constantly lose them in snags where hard to reach big bass live. I decided to design this mold (mould) in Autodesk Fusion 360 because I was sick of paying premium prices for something as simple as a reaction based fish presentation. Overall I think the 3D printed space will greatly help custom lure makers by decreasing the amount of prototyping and time spent during design. I have been very pleased with the results I have been able to achieve in just a short time making custom lures with a 3D printer.
