Title: Swing jigs
Post by: Jig Man on February 01, 2015, 09:40:57 AM: I got a mold for my BD. It has sizes 1/8 to 7/16. I am experimenting with it. There seems to be no limit to the size and style of hooks that it will take.

Do-It now that has larger sizes. I use the crap out of these in the summer. I get them made at a VERY good price or I would have bought the mold myself already.
