How many molds that you guys have and are using?I'm starting to aquire a bunch of them.Let's do this,list how many you have first then the most used one.
I have 12,all Do It Molds.Most used one is the Ultra Minnow Mold from 1/2oz. to 1 1/2 oz.I have a feeling that the JNR-6-A will be getting some major pouring since I have enough saltwater jigs tied to last at least a year.

I have 30 or so,but 8 are custom and have a different head on the other side so two molds in one. The molds I use the most are the 1/32 and 1/24 pillheads with the walleye mold popular right now with me since it was a recent purchase. I pour the 1/32 shad darts pretty much as well. Least used are the ballheads.

13 now, I traded one to Toad. I use the horsehead mold the most, followed by the pony, then ball with/without collar. but then the tube ties started and I poured a bunch of those.

Now on the minnow head I get double duty - as I cut the collars off. With the cost of molds I know we all trade for different style heads. That's whats so fun about this place.

On some jig styles you can get double duty by cutting the collars but one I'll recommend that you DON'T!!!!! That is the Pony Head - it just looks plain UGLY. Get one of each.

I just got the shad dart mold from Toad but have not used it yet. I hope that those heads are going to work well for something I want to try. Still need to order a minnow type mold.

I've got a 1/8 horsehead mold, a walleye, a 1/16 - 1/8 collarless round head, and a chub head mold. All Do-Its. I just got an in-line trolling sinker mold in 2, 3, and 4 oz sizes. I use them for pushing crankbaits. I guess the chub is my favorite.

I have 20 plus - close as I can guess right now - they have been packed away for a couple years due to other projects, and it's time to get them out again - not to mention that I've found some more that I'd like to get.....

Most of mine are Do-it - but there is a Herters, and 4-5 other vintage molds from years past.

I just look at the side of the mold when I'm getting one out to pour. Plus the older handles are blue and the new ones are black.

I got 2 red handled molds. Are they even older than the blue?

They're the older style Do-It molds. They used to differentiate between the molds by handle color - Blue jigs, red sinkers, Green for the inline foldover ends and split shot, orange for the lure molds.

Still think they could make way more money if they listened to the customers!!!!!!!!!
