I think there is a specific wire cutter for trimming the tag end after finishing a loop. Look at the photo, that’s a manufacturer’s end cut. I cannot get that close. Anyone know what that wire cutters name would be? Thank you for helping me out

I just started pouring bucktails for fluke fishing. I've been doing smaller ones without an issue. When I try pouring 5oz -8oz I'm having a hard time getting the lead to melt all the way around the collar. I've tried using a 10lb bottom pour and 2lb hot pot. I've had better results with the 2lb but still having issues. I've tried heating the mold, holding mold at an angle, adjusting my heat temp and varied my pouring speeds. Still not molding right. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I tie a lot of jigs and tying the same patterns over and over gets pretty boring. While working on orders I had a couple of ideas and decided to put the work aside and create something different from the rabbit strip jigs I routinely make. The jigs in the photo are basic bucktails with some feathers and flashabou. They are Pike jigs so I tied them fairly long, approx. six inches. Feel Free to comment and use the patterns if you'd like

Have you ever seen this before? I took two spoons and put them together added a treble hook with a red and white bucktail and added a swivel on the front. The theory is the two spoons will clatter against one another as they go through the water. Comments Welcome.
