Newbie to molds  if I buy a football jig mold with a weed guard is there anyway to also use it to make a regular football jig without weed guard . Or do I have to buy both molds ?

Welcome to the forums! Folks who pour their own
molds will chime in here, just a welcome from me.

Sure! Just pour with no guard or pin in the mold and cut the excess off

Use a teflon pin and push it right up to the edge of the cavity.

The pins are cheap so I grind them down as close to flush as I can get and pour with them in place. Pouring and cutting off the excess is too time consuming for me when I'm pouring a bunch of heads. 

Most folks mold the weed gaurd hole using a pin and glue in the fiber weed gaurd after molding the jig. Making a shorter pin will prevent a hole in the jig head; standard pin for making a hole, shorter pin for no hole using the same mold.

Do It can provide you both pins.

The easiest way is to take a weed guard and instead of inserting it up into the cavity, just leave it flush right at the entrance to the cavity and the close and pour. If you don't understand the way the molds work, you will once you get it as they aren't hard to figure out.

Thanks guys for all the help you guys rock!!!!!!
