What mold is this?

[blt]

Found this mold in my mess in the garage. No "visible" markings on the outside. Jig weighs .60 oz. with hook. Bottom is smooth and almost flat.

Looks homemade but a snakehead mold??? As shiny as the head shows can't tell how much detail came out.

That is a interesting jighead. What weight is it.

Now that is different ... Kinda "Spooky" lookin.

I have seen a lot of different kind, but that one takes the cake.

Looks like someone was doing a custom mold. That style seems like its out of the 50s. Cool find.

I'm with JSC. Personally, it creeps me out. :s

I'd put it back, very carefully, into the sarcophagus.

.60 oz. with the hook in it. I think I put a 3/0 in it. I may try to paint one up. Have one that I dipped into white, but it still doesn't do justice to the details. I really don't see a market for it lol.

It's more freaky looking in person.

I think that it is very cool.Just think what them fish eat when we are not there throwing pretty stuff at them,lol.

Do you remember where you got it from???

It's not a snake head jig more than likely something your father had made or bought it is cool looking though

Looks like an Ostrich head!!!! ha!

Maybe........ it was created to be used as a head of a lizard plastic bait? Looks like you could lop off the head of a Power Lizard and thread it on the hook. Maybe...... ?

My Dad did the tackle business before he passed away. No idea where it came from. I was digging through some box that was buried in my garage and found it. I may try to clean off the outside and see if there is any markings. He did not have this made, but probably found it at a yard sale at the beach. It is a metal mold, and seems to be really old, long before he got into this. (early 2000's he started making tackle)

Looks like a dragon head. Tie a long green tail to that thing and some big pointed wings...puff the magic dragon!

 

[Fatman]

Well hopefully you find some writing on it when you clean it up!!!!!!!! Be cool to find out where it came from!!!!!!!!

It looks like a very good copy even better than the ament bull head . I have that mold . But it's a b!+(# to use . Get a load of flash . Comes in 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 .

This poured really well. Well, the 1 that I did anyway lol. I don't have much use for a jig a little over 1/2 oz. where I fish.

Should take all corrosion off.
