    Same here, the one with the blue/grey head that was shad colored. Allen
  2. If you are looking for something specific let me know because I either have it or know where to get. Allen

    Back from the dead! Head is 3/8oz and hook is an Owner Deep Throat 3/0 (the only 60 degree straight eye I had). Allen
  4. Look at lurepartsonline.com as well for heads. Allen

    Sending some your way once I get them the way I like them. Love the way the sprue just breaks off when I pull them out of the mold. These were gated to the rear which means almost no cleanup needed. Allen
  6. I am ticked at the Captain right now! It has been almost 6 weeks since I order a lot of hooks from them. Shorty's sent my order in 5 days for comparison. BTW if you are looking for some cheap hooks there is a guy on Facebook selling the EC lil nasty hooks $18 for 1k. Allen

    Some different jigheads I made a mold for that I just finished earlier. Plan on making a structure jig of my own design so I figured I would tear apart a couple Strike King ones to see how theirs are made. Going to stick with a similar head shape but going with a different style of hook collar and barb. Allen
  8. That wire keepers for Ned heads I order direct from Mustang Wire and their minimum is 10k. I have a few spares in case I drop them on the floor like usual. Allen
  9. Shorty's has the best price I have found but you have to order 1k minimum each hook. Allen
  10. Sorry, read your question wrong. Those are either EC or VMC and as bluebasser mentioned EC has stepped up their game in the last couple of years. Since Mustad moved their production to China IMO EC are now better and cheaper than Mustad. Now getting one of these companies to make a custom hook is proving to be difficult. Allen
  11. Thinking the same thing. I know Blaze (the baits you can find at Ollie's for$0.99) makes a Rattlin Rap type bait. Allen
  12. The "Look what I made in my basement because I am bored" rig. Allen
  13. LC Sammy or Gunnish Honorable mention at #3 is a Jackal Bonnie Allen
  14. Eagle Claw, Mustad, VMC, Gamakatsu, Daiichi, Decoy, and Sohumi that I can remember? Allen
  15. No ideal how long they will last? They take about 2 hours to make a new one so I am not worried. Allen
  16. They have answered for me in the past but I don't know what is going on with this lock down. Allen
  17. Made 980 tube heads today and man do my fingers hurt. Allen
  18. Not just worms it is everything for me. The craziest is deep diving crankbaits? I have 25 deep diving crankbaits for every fish I have actually caught on them. Sold over 300 packs of plastics like 3 years ago and still have another 100+ to get rid of. Allen
  19. Turbo or EZskirts is what they are called and I like them as well. Allen
  20. Black are the best option as they either break when putting the skirt together of last a few years. Amber will slowly deteriorate and fall apart that you can see. The colored ones I would stay away from as they just randomly break? I made a bunch of skirts using the green pumkin ones. Set them on a shelf in the dining room and a week later they all had broken. Easiest solution is just use some small zip ties if you are worried about them breaking. Allen
  21. Actually I made 14 spincast molds and have over 30 hand pour molds as well. Making a lot of Ned and tube heads right now. Going to try a weedless jig if my order of Teflon pins ever arrives. If not I guess it will be a spinnerbait mold since I have the 12" discs. Made a bunch of weedless Neds last night just to see if it would work. Allen
  22. Only made about 1500 Ned heads so far. Think 8 is how many I have now? I can't remember because all I think about is how many more I have to make. Allen
  23. https://contenti.com/jewelry-casting-supplies Here is where I get my silicone from. Allen
  24. Getting better at making molds and the fact that these pour like 25 at a time hooks go quick. Allen
  25. Hooks arrived from Shorty's yesterday so I will be spending a lot of time pouring. Ordered 60k but only 54k came the others are on backorder or had to be special order. This should be enough to get me started though? Allen
