Do-It Ladle Cast Iron 1 1/4lb

The Do-It Ladle Cast Iron 1 1/4lb is a dedicated pouring tool built for anglers who cast their own lead jigs and terminal tackle. With a 2-1/2" diameter cup, this ladle holds up to 1-1/4 lbs. of molten lead—enough for a solid casting session without constant reheating. The shorter handle design gives you better control and maneuverability when pouring into molds, reducing fatigue during longer casting runs and letting you focus on clean, consistent pours.

This is the workhorse ladle for serious DIY tackle makers. Whether you're pouring walleye jigs, crappie tubes, or custom bass presentations, the dual pouring lips (left and right) let you accommodate different mold setups and casting techniques. Cast iron construction means reliable heat retention and years of use if you treat it right. Pair it with the Do-It 1904 cast iron pot for a complete, efficient melting and pouring station.

If you're hand-casting lures at home or in the garage, a quality ladle that fits your workflow isn't a luxury—it's the difference between smooth pours and spilled metal. This ladle earns its place on the bench.
