Other than eBay international, anyone know where I can order these?

If you have a Picasso spinnerbait, measure the blade and start calling blade companies. Tell them the size you have and see if that matches their size blades. If not go on to the next company. Can find a lot of this by looking on the i-net. Eventually someone will have a blade close to what you want.
You're right. Just wanting to make a small quantity, and was hoping someone would have a Picasso lying around and could give me a ballpark. I don't happen to have one on hand and that model isn't sold locally.
-
Picasso makes a cool spinnerbait with an Indiana main blade and a willow kicker. In my mixed condition fisheries here in Tulsa, seems like it would be a good fit. Can't find ANYWHERE what size blades they're using. Indiana blades in particular are hard for me to size. Any ideas?
-
Or if anyone would be willing to pour me some slim chunks...?
-
Does anyone know of a hand pourer/custom pourer who is selling baits made with del marts chunk molds? Specifically the swimming chunk, slim chunk, and big salty chunk?

Seems like maybe the titanium single strand will be stiffer than the braided surflon, so wondering if I should go down a bit... It's expensive stuff to experiment with and get wrong. I've read of a couple guys on here using 40-50lb. titanium wire.
-
Ready to start dropping titanium double weedguards in my jigs and finesse heads. What lb. test/diameter are people using for this? I use 60lb. and 90lb. surflon leader material currently for weedguards, for reference.
-
Is anybody shooting either of these molds commercially? In other words, is there anywhere I can buy some of these tubes without purchasing the mold?
-
-
I happened to have the forms lying around, but I agree there are probably better (and less rigid) options. Regarding the use of fluoro or weedwacker cord, how do you keep it from melting when powder painting?
-
It's a commercially available wire originally for keepers on a football jig I think. Time will tell how well it holds up in this application.

It's sweet when things work out as well as you hope for.
The icing on the cake will be the first fish you catch on it!
Took them out yesterday and caught a bunch of smallmouth and largemouth on them in 5-20 feet of water. They work great! Best part-- the trailer stays on.

After struggling to find a comercially produced all-purpose bass jig that had all the innovative features I wanted at a reasonable price, I set out to create one. I wanted the screw lock trailer keeper of the strike king tour grade skipping jig, the hand tied reverse half-skirt of the greenish tackle skipping jig, the extra fine cut silicone and compact size of the ike mini flip, and the head shape and hook style of the 4x4 Randall Tharp jig. I started with a brand new do-it Model S bass jig, and got to work with a dremel for about 2 hours. The result, a jig that is equally at home skipping, flipping, hopping, and dragging, turned out really good!

Looking for a place to buy 2.6" slim chunks, 3" swimming chunks, and 3.5" big chunks ala Del Mart molds. I don't want to pour them, just want to buy them. Any small companies or individual pourers selling these models?
-
No, they were given to me by a guide in central arkansas at least 10 years ago. Maybe 15.

Nevermind, photos too big. Moderator, please delete thread

Been shaky head fishing a lot this year, and since I already had and had already heavily modified the mold to make Ned rig heads, I figured a little more modification couldn't hurt.

Wootonc, PM sent.

I have 2 remaining heads of a jig I used to really love but which is no longer made. If I were willing to mail them, would anyone be willing to make me 5 or so RTV molds for them? If so, what would be the cost? Thx.
-
I have done thread, floral wire, copper wire, and zip ties. Copper looks the nicest. I have decided to stick with zip ties. Super fast and easy, tight, last a long time, and the fish don't care. I lose too many jigs in the rocks to justify spending 10 minutes making one.
-
I have a 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 weed less round head mold, but I still find the head shape snags more than I'd like. In the opinion of those who have access to a lot more jig molds than me, what is the closest thing available to a Bitsy bug head that will make 3/16 oz jigs? Thanks in advance.
