F230 Hauser feather-lure head mold (6–14 g)
Code: F230Related products
Product detailed description
The Your Mold F230 aluminum mold produces Hauser feather-lure heads. Its 5 cavities cover nominal weights of 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 g. Use individual cavities as needed; the weights describe separate castings, not one combined lead.
F230 produces Hauser-style feather-lure heads in five weights at 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 g. Its profile is intended for subsequent lure assembly and serves a different purpose from an ordinary olive or drop-shot lead. Choose the hook and other parts for the actual rig construction; weight alone does not establish compatibility.
Choose a head weight for the lure and the depth, current and retrieve you intend to use. Casting the head is one step in making a finished lure; the mold does not determine a universally compatible hook or guarantee a particular lure action.
Fit the five included steel guide pins in the dry mold as required by its grooves. They form passages in the heads and are removed after the metal has set. Trim the sprue, deburr the passages and complete the lure according to the actual assembly. Do not assume that the 3 mm PVC tubes used in heavier inline leads fit F230. Prepare removable guide pins with a suitable guide-pin lubricant according to its instructions.
Guide pins are casting tools; they are removed and are not part of the finished fishing rig. Tubes, coating and other finishing parts are sold separately.

From the F230 mold to a finished casting
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, inserts and tools. Select the required cavity.
- Fit the specified insert (five included steel guide pins) and verify full closure and secure holding without force.
- Cast according to the mold, metal and melting-equipment instructions. Keep plastic parts out of molten metal.
- After the metal has set and handling is safe, remove the casting and withdraw the guide pin.
- Trim the sprue and check all edges and functional passages before assembly.
- Weigh the first casting and test the complete rig before continuing with a larger batch.
The nominal weight refers to one casting. Metal composition and finishing affect the actual weight. Respect the load limits of the rod and tackle. A passage or cast-in swivel alone does not guarantee free-running behavior or safe release after line breakage. Finish the cleaned casting with a rubber lead coating according to the coating manufacturer’s instructions.
Casting safety
- Never pour molten metal into a damp mold. Inserts and tools must also be completely dry.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable protective gloves. Use a stable, heat-resistant work area with effective ventilation.
- Follow the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. The mold temperature limit is not a recommended pouring temperature.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with lead. Keep casting equipment separate from kitchen utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
