He supplied all the hooks & the mold so I have no cost there. The paint I will probably use powder coat. Except for some of the odd colors then I will use paint and epoxy. My paint is cheap so there really isn't much cost there.

I am getting ready to make approx 300 salt water jigs in the size range of 2 - 4 oz. I do not have to tie them just pour them and coat the heads. What would you guys charge?

Like the detail.

Ok guess I am out to the auto store. Thanks

I like this idea and am trying to try it. I have followed the guide BUT all I get is a big glob. Even if I only add 2 pieces of a cup it will not mix with the laquer thinner. What am I doing wrong????????

Have you tried to spray the foil with Bull Dog BEFORE you print??

No I have those I am looking for the Baby N's they are quite a bit smaller

Is it just me or did Jann's quit carring the Baby N's

thanks I knew you guys would settle the disagreement.

I know you guys can please tell me what lure this is. I say it is a Yo-zuri and dad says something else. I would like to know the make and model.

The lip can be replace and reweighted. IMO like I said before granted those lips do break easily they are more I guess you would say flimsy and cause the lure to run a little differently than if I replaced the lip with a new one that had the weight in it. But over all you may not even notice the difference if you were not used to fishing the old lead lips.

Bagley defiantly changed the density of the wood they used. The wood from the 60's was very light weight, in the 70s it got a little tougher and so on to today?s lures. Plus the paint that they use now is totally different than what they used to use. I personally like the old ones that the lips break out of if you whack them on the water or if a fish hits them they may take a chunk of wood. Although not as durable they are a much more reliable lure to me. And heck if I break them I can always fix them. I had a guy send me a bunch of old BB's (probably 60s or 70s model) that were just totally destroyed. When he got them back he was amazed. I have to say that Bagley's are my specialty. Next time I rip one apart (should be soon) I will post picture for you all to see. Believe it or not a lot of the BB4's that you guys have, have probably at one time or another was cut in half by Bagley. For what reason I do not know but a lot of them that I get to refinish have been cut right before the lure thins down for the tail and then glued back together. I don't know if maybe those are from a batch that were mis cut and made to small so they just cut them and added more length to them. TM---- yes I do fish the ones with the lead in lip. Those old lips like I said may break easier but they make the lure run totally different than the new lips they use. Probably because the old lips are thinner and will vibrate. Heck I could be wrong on that thought.

Had a guy sent me a couple of the new ones, they are NOTHING like the old ones. Yes they do have brass wire in the nose and tail but the belly hanger is still steel. And yes the DB's do have lead in the lip but they used the newer style lip and just put lead in in. All they have done is taken the same lures they have been selling for the past few year (basically junk) and added brass wire and lead to the lip. as far as an autopsy photo the closest I have is the one on my website under "What We Do"

The weight of wood you use also affects the bouyancy (sp?)of the lure.

Paint was still on the lure. Everything with the lures were fine they had just peeled the epoxy off. Something that I did think of is that the only ones they have said were soft were the ones i sent express mail. The first set of lures that they claimed were soft was like 30 lures and this second one was like 25. This time I just told them to fish them they were fine. I really hate to think that they are yanking my chain because one of them I have been dealing with for a while and he has bought several thousand's of dollars of my lures and never complained once. Its just now that his friends want them they are complaining. Richoc thanks for the compliment on the site. I like it but it needs an update.
