Shawn-- I used to pour hundreds of walleye jigs each year because a) I'm cheap and b) we went through so many and c) we never could get the right jig/hook combination.

Don't worry about cooling time-- as soon as you pour it, the jig will solidify, and if you're not quick, it will solidify before you're finished pouring. However, duh, it will be way too hot to handle.

But if you're only going to be pouring 1/8 ounce heads, spend a few dollars more and buy a production mold that is only for 1/8 ounce heads. It makes things a lot easier.
