  1. Thanks, guys! I appreciate the answers. Tom
  2. How are you guys powder coating underspin jig heads without fouling the swivel with powder paint? Shrink tubing? Or something else? Thanks in advance! Tom
  3. Greetings from another "old man"! For lubricating your reel bearings, any good quality light oil will work. I prefer Rem-oil, but I've used 5W30 Mobil 1 and it works just fine. Just a small drop on each bearing. I'd use grease on the gears. I like Yamaha Marine grease, thinned with light oil as required. Tom
  4. Hey guys! I just read through this thread, man what a lot of great info! I've been pouring lead (bullets, sinkers and jigs) for many years. I've been very pleased with a couple of products from Frankford Arsenal. Drop-out mold release and CleanCast fluxing compound. The Drop Out is invaluable as a mold release. Just spray it on and, most of the time, jigs will fall right out of the mold. An application will last for quite a while. The CleanCast is hands-down the best fluxing agent I've ever used. In my experience, it works better than paraffin, beeswax or anything else I've used.. It's available from Midway USA. http://www.midwayusa.com/find?&newcategorydimensionid=5671 Tom
