*** Wtb Bullet Weight Mold ***
Found this one and thought it might be what you are looking for. the sinkers are a little short and squattier to allow for the concave base, but it's a nice tradeoff. They do a lot better in rocks than the standard skinny bullets. http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/molds/lil-mac-midget-lead-molds/bullet-sinker-mold:3061

Choice Of Heat Gun And Toaster Ovens
Here is the one I use. It's around 50 bucks as Wally World. I started with a smaller one that was around $20, but soon outgrew it. There are 138 heads hanging in the oven in this pic so it's got plenty of room.

Painted Vs Unpainted Jig Heads....
What Cadman said. All of my jigs are painted, none if my Texas rig/Carolina rig sinkers are painted and most of my shakey heads aren't. Fish wants to eat it'll eat...

Bubbler Blades?
I have used both. The solid blades tends to have a wider range of motion than the one with holes. The solid plane will also plane more than the one with holes. Once you figure that out and how to make it do it, you can really make it dance at the right time. Heavier ones, not so much, but lighter ones are pretty easy to do it with. Need to leave the blade straight though and not put any bends in it to do this.

Home Made Cork Reel Knobs
Those would be sweet on a good crankin reel. I like bigger handles and grips. Seems to cut down on hand fatigue. Plus those should have a whole lot more grip when wet than the standard knobs. Nicely done.
