F157 terminal lead mold (250–300g)
Code: YM/0157Related products
Product detailed description
The Your Mold F157 aluminum mold produces terminal leads with a cast-in loop. Its 2 separate cavities provide nominal weights of 250 / 300 g. You can fill an individual cavity without filling all the others.
F157 casts terminal leads with an attachment loop. Select the load to suit current, bottom conditions, rig control and the capacity of your rod and complete tackle. Shape and weight alone do not guarantee a casting distance or suitability for a fixed depth. Compare F156 and F109 for other weights or constructions.
Seat a Your Mold size 1 loop in the intended groove before casting. The embedded section stays anchored in the lead, leaving the eye accessible for attaching the rig. Check orientation and full mold closure without force. The same size number on another product does not by itself establish compatibility.
Additional inserts and finishing accessories are selected separately for the specific construction. Check correct assembly and secure closure of all mold parts before filling.
Weight and insert overview
| Nominal casting weight | Cavities | Insert during casting | Finishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 g | 1 | Your Mold size 1 loop | Loop remains in the casting |
| 300 g | 1 | Your Mold size 1 loop | Loop remains in the casting |
From the F157 mold to a finished lead
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, inserts and tools. Choose the required cavity.
- Seat the specified insert (Your Mold size 1 loop) and check full, secure closure without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep plastic and rubber parts away from molten metal.
- After solidification, remove the casting safely. Check the anchorage and accessibility of the loop.
- Trim the sprue and deburr sharp edges. Check the strength of the cast-in attachment.
- Weigh and inspect the first casting, then test the complete rig before continuing with a larger batch.
Nominal weights refer to one casting, not the total output of the mold. The metal used and finishing affect actual weight, so weigh the first casting from each cavity you use. Keep within the casting capacity of your rod and complete tackle.
The complete rig determines how the lead is attached and whether it can release. Test all components in the combination you intend to use. Finish the cleaned lead with a rubber lead coating according to its instructions, keeping the eye or passage functional.
Casting safety
- Never pour molten metal into a damp mold. Inserts and tools must also be completely dry.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable gloves; use a stable, heat-resistant work area 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.
