F97 looped lead mold (300–350g)
Code: YM/0097Related products
Product detailed description
Your Mold F97 aluminum lead mold produces looped leads. It has 2 cavities for nominal weights of 300 / 350 g. Fill individual cavities as needed.
F97 provides both 300 and 350 g in one mold. F59 at 250 and 280 g is the next lighter heavy-Grippa option. If you only need 300 g, compare the single-cavity F87 and its different specified size 2 loop.
The shaped contact surface can help limit rolling and movement on the bottom. Actual holding depends on lead weight, bottom hardness and slope, current and line pull. Choose the weight for your fishing conditions and the load limits of the rod and complete rig; the profile alone does not guarantee holding or a casting distance.
Fit the Your Mold size 1 loop into the dry mold. Its cast-in portion becomes fixed in the lead while the eye remains accessible for the rig connection. Check its orientation and close both mold halves fully without force. Finish the cleaned casting with a rubber lead coating according to the coating manufacturer’s instructions.
Cast-in attachment parts and finishing accessories are selected separately for the specific construction.
Weight and insert overview

From F97 to a finished lead
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, inserts and tools. Select the required cavity or variant.
- Fit the specified insert (Your Mold size 1 loop) and check full closure and secure holding without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep plastic and rubber inserts out of molten metal.
- After the metal sets and handling is safe, remove the casting and trim the sprue.
- Check the attachment or the smooth line passage, then test the complete rig.
- Weigh and inspect the first casting before continuing with a larger batch.
Nominal weight refers to one casting. The metal and finishing affect actual weight. Respect the load limits of the rod and complete rig; an inline hole alone does not guarantee free-running or safe lead-release behavior.
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; work on a stable, heat-resistant surface with effective ventilation.
- Follow the mold, metal and melting-equipment instructions. A 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.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many leads does F97 cast?
Filling all cavities produces 2 leads at 300 / 350 g. You can also fill individual cavities.
Which insert should I use?
Use the specified Your Mold size 1 loop. Dry-fit the part in its groove and verify complete closure before pouring.
What does this offer include?
The aluminum mold. Select the compatible attachment and finishing accessories separately, and check any supplied pins in the particular pack.
Will the profile always hold in a current?
No. Holding depends on weight, bottom slope and hardness, current and line pull. Try the actual rig in the intended conditions.
Does this mold guarantee safe lead release?
No. Release after line breakage depends on the complete rig, including clips, swivels, liners and stops. Test the combination you will actually use.
