Try ebay. look for spinner/jig mould and there are any amount off griper ones as well.

id recommend www.do-itmolds.com/ they are in my opinion the best. they have a hinge so you can do them a lot faster and there is no messing about with hot moulds here is the section you are looking for http://do-itmolds.com/shop/index.php?ro ... y&path=1_9 but i would go for a jig type and use soft gel worms also use hot coat because its hard to do chrome coat properly

Try Angling Moulds on ebay. The link is below. His shop is closed until next Monday though. Great selection of moulds at great prices.

thanks for replies

donal i looked at the site you mentioned and i think they are the moulds i was looking for ( the ones with the hinge and handles) my only concern is being caught with customs charges as the prices are in dollars.

have you bought from them before and is extra charges i need to keep an eye for

many thanks

Henry in Henry's tackle does Do-It Angling Moulds as well. He might be able to get the Sand Eel one.

iv bought a lot of stuff all over the world i'd say take a chance if you are caught you pay the vat + i think its 7 euro to have the vat collected from you. shop around as the us version a vat is sale tax. that varies from state to state. i have a hole heap of do it molds and was never asked for vat the bigest problem and normally its almost the same for a few molds as one the local shop that sells them sell them for about 70e far too high a pice. you can pick them up in the UK but you wont save much http://www.fishingweightmolds.com/shop. ... tegory=105 is another site iv used but he has put up his prices recently

Yip the do it molds are definitely a good job! As for the customs charges, I have absolutely no idea how the process works, but having bought a few things from the US, the only time I have had the additional charge was when the seller used FED-EX as their shipping company. I always specify now on the order now do not use FED-EX
