Thanks Flechero! I'll get some and give it a whirl!

Anyone know where to get the wire for these guards? What kind of wire is it and what is the best type or brand to get? Thanks!

Hi guys, Im having trouble with my finished lead heads twisting on the hook. Im pouring a weedless stand up head and some others and they seem to twist on the hook. Is there a way to stop it, something to buy and treat the hook with before pouring...any suggestions...anyone have similar problems? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Really like them, great job! FYI...try to use the macro setting on your digital and a small tripod for sharper/clearer images. Works like a charm

Thanks! I can crank em out pretty quick. Im excited to make them on the Mustad 90 degree bln jig hook. Ive found one thats 1/4" longer than the standard 32746bln. No plans to sell them really, let me know if you want some to try out. Give me a PM and I will shoot you my email!

A few more...

Here are the heads...

I went out to a stream on my farm today to test some new tube jig heads that I've been making. I was actually just trying out various weights and tube sizes to see what works best when WHAM!!!... a nice little largemouth decided she would like to sample Earthworms/MicroMunch Tackles' 3.25" tube. She hit in slack water and took off in the swift current, great fight! I love these tube jigs, (I'll attach ina nother post) I can adjust the weight up and down the shank. Slide it towards the head if you want a faster fall, slide it back if you want a slow horizontal flutter. I just got some Mustad Black Nickel hooks in various sizes and eye angles and am very excited to start pouring on them. So far, the 90 degree angle seems to work the best, a ton of action as it falls and darts when twiched. Wasnt even looking to catch a fish today...just a bonus! Aint life grand???!!!

Whats everyones preference for going weedless when you pour your heads...Yoke, Fiber or wire? I have used single and double strands of wire for my tube heads and they look great, Im now making weedless stand ups and want some input on the Yoke style verses the others...Thanks!

Very good, Ill give it a whirl! Thanks again.

Thanks, Im just wanting to lay it in as I pour. Dremel tool and a steady hand you think?

Anybody know if you can convert a tapered jig head mold from Do-It to a weedless version? I want to use a single wire guard, can I tool it with a dremel tool? Thanks!

9 1/2 pound smallmouth, 26" length 18" girth Springtime 3/99 at the mouth of the Little Pigeon and French Broad River, 1/8 oz. Bitsy Bug w/tiny chunk, 6 lb line. I will never forget the fight or the fish! 11 pound largemouth, Florida Everglades. The shiner was almost as big, hehe. :

Just want them for personal use...good idea about the plaster cast. I know I can get a blank mold and have it machined but Im sure its costly...thanks for the idea! Is there an article that might instruct me?

Does anyone know where I can find someone to make a custom mold for a jig head? I cant find what I want in current molds so I thought about having one made...thanks in advance for your replies!

No prob, still having trouble finding the right mold...might have to have someone custom make me one, $$$ :'(

Can you send me the link to what you found Cabela10? Thanks!

Thanks guys, Im stumped on this one too...the larvae from do-it is close, I found these below but again not in 90 degree...I'll keep looking. Hey Vyron, thats a big un!

...or anyone else that might know... Do you know where I might find lead head molds to make the head on the bottom of this pic attached...? I know you have done lots of research and was hoping you might save me some time... Thanks!!!
