  1. Thanks appreciate the advice. Wonder if the point type infrared temperature guns would work ? Temperature range on one I looked at goes to 716 degrees Fahrenheit .... I know it be showing surface temperature only. I only plan on doing a small number of jigheads less than 1 oz
  2. I have some supplies ordered and waiting for them to arrive. I appreciate all the great advice given here and plan to be cautious when I pour. One question I have is, I couldn't get a Lee pot so I ordered a Palmer hot pot 2 .... should I have some type thermometer to check temp ? After reading about having the lead at a certain temperature got to wondering about the Palmer Pot. I ordered ingots from Lurepartsonline.
  3. This one ? https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Wdls-Snootie-Jig-Mold-SNT-3-AYM
  4. Smalljaw .... I thought the same thing about why I'd need to modify it unless changing hooks. Here is a picture of the jig head from a Do it mold called Manix mullet .... I plan to use it on umbrella rigs. My reasoning for this mold is that I like the different weights of the jigs and the size hooks that match the weights ( 1/4 oz with a 3/0 hook 32786 black nickel ) that hook has worked well for trolling umbrella rigs for big hybrids. Another thing I liked about the head is the over sized eyes socket I appreciate any suggestions .... lead type, paint, eyes etc... Looking at ordering from Lurepartsonline. Thanks
  5. Hello just getting into lure making and thinking of ordering a Do it mold ( Manix mullet ) ordering everything from Lurepartsonline. Someone said I'd have to modify the mold any suggestions on what might have to be done ? Have you guys used the lead ingots from them? Any advice for starting out making jigheads ? I've watched several videos and it looks pretty straightforward. I plan to pour in an open area with gloves, safety glasses.

  8. Apdriver I tried to send you a private message. I have some questions if you don't mind?
  9. Hello new to lure making and getting ready to order some parts to make some Alabama rigs. I want to get the correct size for .051 wire From the website lurepartsonline it shows a size #4 clevis to fit the wire shafts. My question is what size crane swivel would fit over the clevis, and what would be the correct size split ring from the crane swivel to a 1 1/2" willow leaf blade?
