Looking for a mold

That’s something to think about.  Thanks.

Jig Man I have been trying to find the same thing. The Manic Mullet has been considered by me as well, but it doesn’t have the 90° hook eye like the Guppy head. We use 2.8 Kitechs on a 3/8oz Guppy head with a 1/0 hook to drag ditches on Lake Lanier in the winter. I tried the Diner Shiner, but the wire bait keeper just doesn’t cut it. Also the head is a little big since there’s no lead bait keeper. It’s not uncommon to loose 3-4 guppy heads every trip. That gets expensive in a hurry when they are $6 a pack

I know you said you weren't a wire keeper fan, but I've seen several people use jigs from this mold with their keitech-style swimbaits.

Got a 90 degree hook on it too.

Maybe not your cup of tea, but thought I'd throw it out there, just in case you like the look of it.

Another option that is a little outside the box is the Herring Head Mold! It's designed for making underspins, but if you go sans-underspin I'm sure the fish would still eat it!

Takes a 90 degree hook and has a lead bait keeper.

Do you own this mold? The Herring Head mold would be perfect for me, if I can use a 1/0 hook. We use a lot of 3/8oz guppy heads with the 1/0 hooks

I do not, but you can contact the fine folks at Barlow's Tackle and they should be able to give you info on what hooks fit in that mold.

They have a handy chart already that captures most of this, but I know they are more than happy to reply with more specific mold-hook info.

 

Hope that helps!
