I am unaware of any local supplies. Mail order from Cabellas etc wouldbe my best guess. You can make your own molds from plaster or silicone if you are that way inclined

I know Northside Marine at least can get some in for you. I was looking at getting a couple untill I saw that the price You would be looking at $80-$100 for each mold.

I modified a sinker mould to make them just drilled out the pour hole a little

Here is a pic of how i do it.

I just got a jig head mould from Canada, last week.
The one I got is a tube head mold very similar to the hidden weights.
Including post it cost me around $80

Easy to use and takes me 25 minutes to make 50 jig heads.

You have to be careful as alot of the US molds are very big compared to what we Bream boys use and the keeper setup can split the plastic.

With 10 kg of roof lead left over from work each jig head costs me around 30cents using Gamakatzu hooks.

There are oz importers namely Frogely's and corico but thier mould list is very small.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit that a lot for a mould when sinker mould are $15.00 or so

Yes Reelchippy $80 is a lot for a mould but consider that I 'm saving almost a dollar per jig head, it'll pay for itself in no time.

Do-It molds is the premier manufacturer of molds in the USA. They do have a website and you can order online http://www.do-itmolds.com/ , however I'm not sure they ship internationally. Cabelas is a possible source of their molds, as is Jann's Netcraft (again not sure if they ship internationally) at http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/. No one online site seems to stock all their inventory except the company itself.
