F06 Aluminum Mold for Trolling ball sinkers (1300g)

Product detailed description

The Your Mold F06 aluminum mold produces trolling ball sinkers weighing 1300 g. It has 1 cavity; the stated weights refer to individual lead castings.

This mold produces one 1,300 g trolling ball. It loads a rig towed behind a boat; it is not a pilker body intended to become a metal lure. Trolling depth also depends on boat speed, line length and diameter, and lure resistance.

Select the lightest sinker that keeps the intended rig under control. Current, drift, water depth and line diameter all affect the required weight. A heavier sinker is not automatically a better choice; respect the capacity of the rod, line, leader and every connection.

For casting, use original Your Mold size 3 stainless steel loops. These loops remain embedded in the casting; they are not swivels or removable guide pins. Check insert seating before pouring rather than choosing a part by appearance alone.

The related products offer casting tools, mold talc, modeling clay and different coating systems. Modeling clay is an optional workshop aid, not a mandatory insert for this mold. Follow each coating manufacturer’s preparation and curing instructions. Do not assume hooks, rings, inserts, paint or finished lures are included simply because they appear in an illustrative photograph.

Weight and insert overview

The weights are nominal values for lead. Alloy composition, sprue trimming and finishing can change the final result. Weigh the first casting before making a batch. Casting equipment must safely supply enough metal for a complete selected cavity, including its sprue; you do not have to fill every cavity in one cycle. A 1,000 g ladle does not have enough capacity for a 1,300 g casting. Select a pouring system with adequate capacity and a suitable flow.

Compare other weights and body designs in our pilker and sea-sinker mold range. Similar products are alternative molds or finished tackle, not inserts that automatically fit the F06.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How many castings does the mold produce?

1 casting per complete filling, in the nominal lead weights 1300 g. You can use individual cavities without filling the others.

Which inserts are required?

Use original Your Mold size 3 stainless steel loops. They remain embedded in the finished casting.

Is this a ready-to-fish lure?

No. It produces a sinker for a separate rig. Hooks, leaders and bait are chosen and assembled according to the fishing method.

Does the weight determine a fixed fishing depth?

No. Current, drift, line diameter, retrieve and the complete rig determine the required weight. Choose according to actual control of the setup.

Can a different metal be used?

Only use materials and working temperatures permitted by the mold and melting-equipment manufacturers. A different metal density changes casting weight; a temperature limit is not a recommended pouring temperature.
