F35 Aluminum Mold for Taumler pilkers (130/200g)

Product detailed description

The Your Mold F35 aluminum mold produces Taumler pilkers weighing 130/200 g. It has 2 cavities; the stated weights refer to individual lead castings.

The curved Taumler body forms the basis of a lure for active retrieves and controlled drops. Its action depends on rod movement, current and terminal tackle. The redesigned version uses a 100 mm through-wire shaft; separate size 1 loops are not a substitute.

Use the lightest pilker you can still control in the intended part of the water column. Increase the weight when drift, depth or line resistance causes excessive line angle. Match the rod to the fully rigged lure, including hooks and rings; nominal body weight alone is not the casting load.

For casting, use a 100 mm through-wire shaft. Use one shaft per casting. It remains inside the lure, forming the connection between its two end eyes; do not remove it after casting. 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; the molded eye recesses take 6 mm adhesive eyes. 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.

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 F35.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How many castings does the mold produce?

2 castings per complete filling, in the nominal lead weights 130/200 g. You can use individual cavities without filling the others.

Which inserts are required?

Use a 100 mm through-wire shaft. One shaft is required per casting and remains inside the lure. Finish with 6 mm adhesive eyes.

Is this a ready-to-fish lure?

No. The mold produces the metal body. Rings and hooks are fitted afterwards, with dimensions and strength matched to the completed lure.

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.
