Lead Casting Mold F151 – Spin Jig 16-30g

Product detailed description

The Your Mold F151 lead casting mold makes four bodies for 16, 20, 24 and 30 g Spin Jig lures. It sits between the lighter F229 and heavier F15, allowing you to vary casting distance, fall speed and working depth within the same lure type. Build tail spinners for freshwater perch, asp and zander fishing, choosing the final hook and tackle to suit the conditions.

A rotating blade behind the compact body adds flashes and vibration. The casting provides the weight, the swivel allows the blade to turn, and the hook forms a separate part of the assembly. Start with a steady retrieve through one layer, then try short lifts and changes of pace. When fishing close to the bottom, lift the lure before it reaches obstacles. Blade action on the fall varies with the blade and swivel, so check the completed assembly in the water.

Use 16 or 20 g where you want a slower presentation and still have good contact. 24 and 30 g help when blade resistance or current increases, or when you need a longer cast. Do not assign each weight a fixed fishing depth. Compare F229 8–14 g for lighter work and F15 40–60 g for heavier applications in the Spin Jig mold range. Check the component proportions whenever you change weight.

F151 uses “smal” stainless cast-in loops, item 7208, sold by SAF as size 05 loops. Sizes 05, 01 and 1 are different components; a similar name does not confirm interchangeability. The manufacturer illustrates a 3008 swivel rated at 13 kg and a 2047 connecting ring. Cast the loops into their intended positions, then attach the hook and blade when finishing the lure. Keep the swivel free to rotate.

Finish with a suitable lead coating and 5 mm eyes. Manufacturer-listed accessories include a 21 × 16 mm Spin Blade and VMC 9650PS trebles in #6 or #8. These are options for the finished assembly, rather than hooks cast into the cavity. Choose a combination that leaves the hook point clear and prevents it catching the blade. Test the first complete lure with its coating, rings and blade before making a batch.

Casting weights and components

The listed lead weights are without the blade. Weigh the completed lure to establish its final weight; a different casting metal also changes the result. The table lists components for this mold. A swivel rating does not rate the complete assembly.

Select loops or inserts, swivels, hooks, rings, blades, eyes and coatings separately; they are not automatically included with the mold. Check one complete lure before casting a batch. Similar products start with other Spin Jig molds, followed by jig molds for a different lure type. Each uses the components specified in its own description.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is the stated weight the weight of the complete lure?

The manufacturer states weights without the blade. Weigh the finished assembly; the components and casting metal affect its final weight.

Which cast-in loop does this mold use?

The manufacturer specifies “smal” item 7208, sold by SAF as size 05. Size 1 with a different item number is not an automatic fit.

Must I fill every cavity at once?

No. Prepare only the cavity you need and check the first casting and complete rigging before making a batch.

Why does the blade fail to rotate on a slow retrieve?

Check swivel movement, clearance from the hook and blade size. Start-up also depends on the speed of water flowing past the blade.

When should I choose another mold?

F229 covers lighter setups of 8–14 g; F15 covers heavier ones of 40–60 g. Check the component specification again when changing molds.
