Hey gang,
I joined the site today and am very impressed with the amount of knowledge and creativity that resides here. This past fall I made myself some musky bucktails and want to expand to making lead-heads for walleye/smallie/crappie/steelhead fishing. I am looking for all the necessary tools required to do so. I have done plenty of research and am ready to give it a go.
I will need a melter (cheapest, as I will not be making tons but just enough to supply my father and I. I thought maybe a Palmer Hot Pot 2 would be about right) and a mold or multiple molds. I plan on making 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 and maybe 1/32 if possible in a round head with a collar. A live bait jig mold would be neat as well in the same sizes.
I will buy my paint locally unless somebody has excess that they would be willing to get rid of for relatively cheap because I don't think the shipping would allow for a reasonable price for either party. Thanks for viewing and let me know what you have by emailing me at mthay037@uwsp.edu.
Thanks so much and happy crafting, Matt
