Might be difficult to find a mold in that style. I am sure Lindy has patents on all of those shapes, so your probably out of luck, unless someone knows where to find one. If so, I would love to know as well, they are my favorite jig for hardwater.

From what I have found after some extensive searching is that you are limited to several options. The first is you can buy a do-it mold, and use a dremel to fashion a different style from one of their smaller molds or from their blank mold. The other is to speak with someone at a machine shop and have them build one from scratch, or customize a do-it mold. I have not found any ice jig molds, or anyone willing to give up any information on the ones they have. You can also make one from silicone or plaster, but that never seemed worth the time. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Some type of Genz like bug. Only thing I can seem to find is small regular round head molds or swimming jigs.

I looked through my netcraft catalog and found nothing like the Genz Bug.

Do-It does make a blank mold. If you know someone handy with a end mill you can make your own custom jig mold.

<BTW>netcraft does handle some unpainted panfish jigs that may be of use to you.

Shawn Collins Customs, got him working on 3 molds for me right now (no Ice jigs), just google Shawn and you will see his HSOforum, if its doable for handpour he can do it, otherwise look up tightline angler products, he runs a spincasting outfit and will make you a mold from a drawing and produce the product to, if you would like. His pricing is very reasonable and you could get away from messing with lead doing it that way.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
