I modified a mold to pour small lead headed jigs on a dry fly hook instead of a jig hook. However, when pouring these heads some turn out just perfect, but about half the time the lead does not adhere to the hook. This causes the head to turn and even slide up and down the hook shaft. What do I need to do to get the lead to adhere to the jig hook?

Tyr making a small zig zag type bend where the lead pours onto the hook. This should keep the lead from spinning and sliding.

Check out a Mustad 33093 – popper hook with a kink – goes down to a size 12.
Also, you might try a dab of flux on your hook.

KNew there was a hook with a kink, Just couldnt find it quickly so gave up Using a prekinked hook as posted would be much better than kinking your own, Unless of course you need a smaller size.
