F93 swivel lead mold (3–20g)
Code: YM/0093Related products
Product detailed description
Your Mold F93 lead mold produces leads with a cast-in swivel in a smooth pear profile. The 8 cavities have nominal casting weights of 3 / 5 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 20 g. You can use the required cavity without filling all the others. This lets you make a supply matched to your tackle and the fishing location.
F93 is the lightest pear mold in this group, with eight weights from 3 to 20 g. It produces small swivel leads for light rigs and fine load adjustments. Compare F114 with its larger swivel when moving up to 20–60 g.
A rounded or elongated body changes how the lead contacts the bottom. Actual holding depends on the slope and hardness of the bottom, current and line tension. Use the lightest load that gives the required control and keep within the casting limits of your rod and complete tackle. A mold shape alone does not guarantee a casting distance or a fixed fishing depth.
Use a size 12 swivel as the casting insert. The insert must match the cavity and its retaining groove. One part of the swivel is cast into the lead; keep the exposed part free to move. Check seating and complete closure without force before filling the mold. Finish the cleaned casting with a rubber lead coating according to the coating manufacturer’s instructions.

From the F93 mold to a finished lead
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, inserts and tools. Choose the required cavity.
- Seat the specified size 12 swivel and check complete, secure closure without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep all plastic parts away from molten metal.
- After solidification and safe cooling, remove the lead and trim the sprue.
- Check that the attachment is firmly anchored and its exposed part remains functional.
- Weigh and inspect the first casting, then test the complete rig before continuing with a larger batch.
Nominal grammes refer to one casting, not the total output of the mold. Actual weight varies with the metal and finishing. Use a suitable rig connection and check how the complete system behaves if the main line breaks. Coating and other finishing accessories are sold separately.
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 workplace with effective ventilation.
- Follow the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. A mold temperature limit is not a recommended pouring temperature.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while working with lead. Keep casting equipment separate from kitchen utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many leads does one mold produce?

Which insert is required?
Use the specified size 12 swivel. Check its fit before casting; matching size numbers from another series do not prove interchangeability.
What is supplied?
The aluminum mold. Casting inserts, coating and other accessories are selected separately.
When should I choose a different mold?
Compare F114 and F39 for another load range, body shape or attachment. Check each mold’s own insert requirements.
