I have been making lead lures from recycled lead I make from diving. I make a lot of fluter jigs and weighted heads for swimbaits. Does anyone have any suggestions for a spray for the lead mold that have them come out of the mold easier? Also I can share any advice if you have questions. My flutter jigs have been on fire lately

what kind of molds do you have? Most are made out of aluminum, where lead shouldn't stick to it.

Try smoking your molds with soot from a bbq or bic lighter. The carbon is a pretty decent release agent

They are all aluminum and are on the 7oz and up spectrum. The smaller molds I don't have an issue with.
