  1. The angle that the wire is coming out of the head is low. Try bending the wire from the current 2-3 o'clock to about 1. Allen
  2. This is the chart I use as a reference guide when someone asks for a "crayfish" colored bait. Allen
  3. Smallest one doesn't fit and is too big for most Ned baits. Allen
  4. Issue is to achieve the weight you want the mix needs to be like 90%+ Tungsten powder to epoxy. The mixture is too thick to pour into a cavity for a bait. For example the 1/4oz shakeyhead Do-It mold cavity I tried made about a 1/16oz Tungsten epoxy head. They actually came out great but way under weight for what I wanted. Allen
  5. KBS spray can is great for spinnerbait blades but I wouldn't use it on the baits you listed. If you are just making a few baits for yourself that make contact with rocks I recommend Devcon 2 ton 30 minute epoxy. For airbrushed baits that don't regularly contact rocks KBS Diamond Clear works but has its draw backs. KBS is finicky when it comes to storage? I have had some dry up in a week and some still good after 8 months. Allen
  6. Jewell has always used Mustad hooks in the past. Personally I like the 32798 Mustad for all finesse jigs. Looking at that jig its just made with fine cut silicone, nothing special about it IMO. Allen
  7. I wish they made the 32833 with a longer eye length. Allen
  8. These are the manufacturers of the blades. Smaller quantities try Jann's Netcaft, Barlow's Tackle, or Lurepartsonline. Allen
  9. You want metal leader sleeves the next diameter up from the wire size you are using. Allen
  10. Not an inline expert but my guess is that the blade in too big compared to the weight of the bait. I have seen this happen with spinnerbaits when a blade is too big or close to the line tie point. Allen
  11. Looking at the colors I would agree with fishingskirts.com. Allen
  12. Tried calling him several times over the past 3 months and never heard from him. If anyone has his Paypal address please PM me so I can send him some money to help. Allen
  13. Same here, I have 75% less issues pouring in cold weather than the hot humid summer. Allen
  14. Have you checked Hagen'sfish? Allen
  15. SILICONE SKIRT STRIP LAYERS, Lure Making | Jann's Netcraft (jannsnetcraft.com)
  16. Going to try and make some of these myself using a Neko weight that I sand into a point. Figure I can just mold it then cut out a place for the hook and pour. Allen
  17. Check Hagensfish to see if they have them. Allen
  18. I was going to suggest looking into Fly fishing hooks based on the size. Allen
  19. Barlow’s spit jig is spincasted by Cast Industries. Allen
  20. The regular 1/8" are sold by all of the luremaking sites. Allen
  21. Pour your 3/8oz cavity using tin and bizmuth. It will come out lighter than 3/8oz. Allen
  22. You always know where to get the stuff I need. Allen
  23. Those without the twisted wire keeper. Allen
  24. They don't really fit any molds that I am aware of? Hook shank is short compared to other hooks . They are a great hook that I do not have an application for? Allen
  25. You are insulting Lefty Puff ball home of the Puff ball jigs since 1981! You need to be respectful of the Puff!
