Lead Casting Mold F67 – Spear Head Jigs 160-200g
Code: YM/0067Related products
Product detailed description
The Your Mold F67 Spear Head lead casting mold extends the torpedo concept to 160, 180 and 200 g. It is designed for making heavier slim-profile heads when you need to work a soft bait in stronger current, faster drift or deeper beneath the boat. Its main application is saltwater fishing in Norway, especially for cod, coalfish and pollack.
The name Spear Head refers to the pointed nose. This is a heavier branch of the torpedo family, with an elongated head that meets a slim soft body. It provides extra weight without requiring a broad round head. The front stays narrow during a forward retrieve, but the bait, length of line out and line diameter still affect the resistance of the whole setup. The transition into the soft bait remains important with a heavy head. A wire keeper holds the front section without a large cast collar, but its shape must match both the groove and bait body. Test the lure beside the boat and correct any crooked rigging before lowering it into deeper water.
The 160–200 g range is mainly about lure control. Start with 160 g if that weight maintains the intended path. Move to 180 or 200 g when current sweeps the lighter setup away or contact is lost. Extra weight increases sink rate and changes the presentation; a lighter mold may be more suitable in calmer water or when fishing high in the water column. Keep a similar retrieve pace when comparing 160 and 200 g, and watch line tension. Faster sinking is not an end in itself if the lure leaves the feeding layer. Match the combined head and bait weight to the rod, especially if you intend to cast rather than simply lower the rig.
Within the ZOOM range, consider the longer Ol’ Monster and Magnum Ol’ Monster, or Magnum II according to the hook arrangement. Their tails add action on the retrieve, while SAF PLASTI-X X-RAY 20 cm, without an active paddle tail, responds more to rod movement and changes of pace. Choose the head for the conditions and the hook for the bait; a heavy casting is not a reason to automatically use the largest available hook.
The specified hooks are VMC 5150 8/0 or 12/0. Do not treat those two sizes as a range that includes 10/0. The hook must seat in the groove and the mold must close fully. Stainless wire of 0.5–0.6 mm is specified for the keeper. Before making a batch, check the first setup for a straight body, free hook gape and a moving rear section. According to the manufacturer, VMC 5150 10/0 does not fit because of its longer shank. Select the actual 8/0 or 12/0 product from the correct size range. Leave enough clearance above the bait for a hookset, and keep the eye free from lead or a thick coating.
Casting weights and hook options
| Casting weights | Hook series | Specified sizes |
|---|---|---|
| 160 / 180 / 200 g | VMC 5150 | 8/0, 12/0 |
The listed hooks are specified for the mold as a whole. The specification does not assign them to individual cavities; dry-fit your chosen combination before casting. The same size number in another hook series does not guarantee the same dimensions or full mold closure. According to the manufacturer, VMC 5150 10/0 does not fit because of its longer shank.
From the F67 mold to a finished jig head
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold and your chosen compatible hook. Select the cavity for the required weight.
- Seat the hook precisely in its groove, including the eye. If you are inserting a wire keeper, check its shape and dimensions against the groove. Make sure the mold closes fully and can be secured safely without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, the chosen metal and the melting equipment. Set the working temperature according to those instructions.
- Once the casting has fully solidified and cooled safely, remove it, trim the pouring sprue and check that the hook and any insert are firmly anchored.
- Weigh the first head, finish the surface, attach 8 mm eyes to the clean, cooled casting and test straight rigging and lure movement.
Finish the head with a suitable coating and add 8 mm eyes. The manufacturer specifies 0.5 or 0.6 mm wire for the keeper; the ready-made BH19 has no confirmed dimensional fit in F67. When preparing a batch, weigh the first casting and check that the eye is clear and the point exposed. For a ready-made alternative, browse SAF torpedo jig heads and choose by actual weight and hook size. Hooks, eyes, wire, coatings and baits are purchased separately.
Safe lead casting
- Never pour molten metal into a damp mold; inserts and tools must also be dry.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable gloves, and work on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Provide effective ventilation and follow the instructions for the chosen metal and melting equipment.
- Keep food, drink and smoking away from the work area; keep lead-working equipment separate from household utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions about F67
When should I choose F67 rather than F107?
When the maximum 140 g from F107 cannot maintain the intended lure path. F67 continues from 160 to 200 g with the same basic slim torpedo concept.
Is F67 only for vertical fishing?
No. It can also be used for a heavier spinning setup. Casting must suit the rod and the total lure weight; a heavy head plus soft bait can easily exceed the rod’s casting rating.
Does 200 g automatically mean a halibut head?
No. Weight determines the loading, rather than hook strength. For halibut, assess the actual hook, leader and whole setup; head weight alone does not confirm suitability for trophy fish.
Is F155 the same mold with different weights?
No. F155 has an eel profile with two weights, 150 and 180 g. F67 has the torpedo Spear Head profile with three weights, 160, 180 and 200 g. Both the shape and casting range differ.
Can I fill the whole mold with one ladle?
The three castings total a nominal 540 g of lead, plus the pouring sprues. Allow for the ladle’s actual usable capacity; you can fill cavities individually and do not have to cast all three at once.
