Yes the 1/16 I made are very bad. I use mostly 1/8 to 1/4. I thought about the epoxi but I don't paint most of mine unless the fish are just biteing the tail of a fire tail or chartreuse tail worm, then I use a head the color of the tail of the worm so they bite the head instead of the tail. I take my heads out of the mold pretty quick. I think I will build a few and let them set in the molds a little longer then build a few with some harder lead and then epoxi a few and see witch ones hold up better. I wish the water would cool of some more so I can quit fishing the dang little worms and start froggin and spinnerbait fishing. I hate fishing this slow! Thanks for the tips guys
