    Which mold for FnF?

    I'm definitely going to try FnF this fall/winter, and do it with jigs that I pour and tie myself. Now, I'm not sure, but to me the banana jig looks to me like the closest thing to the FnF jigs on the market, so I think it's probably the one to start with. What do you guys think?

    Re: Which mold for FnF?

    Do-It makes a minnowhead mold that is perfect. The model is: JM-8-1632. It has four 1/32 and four 1/16 ounce heads. You could also use a roundball mold in these weights as well, or an aspirin head if you can find one in these sizes.

    For me, the biggest advantage to pouring is that you can get the #4 hook size in the 1/32 without having to look all over for them or wait for the tackle store to re-stock. Actually, it's what got me into pouring for myself.

    I use the minnow head, you can make some pretty sweet FNF with it. I have a buddy that prefers the asprin head and his flys look real good too.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll probably go with the minnow head.

    I've got the JME-7-A1, but if you only wnat to make the 1/32 and 1/16 which are your popular FNF jig sizes they make one with just those two sizes and 8 cavities. I use the other sizes for grubs is the reason I went with the JME-7-A1. The other mold is JME-8-1632A. These molds also take stick-on eyes.
