AT the request of a forum member, I tried this modification on a 1/32 head mold last night. 1/32 x #4 sickle hook

They look really cool! Hey I have a guy that does my heads and I think over our years of talking think he has some that he makes without the collar and some way blocks the lead from adding it when he pours?? Not sure how he blocks the lead from pouring that collar or that I even right about this, but will check again to see if that is correct.

Skip, you can fill in the barb area with JB Weld material (I have done that on other molds), but these particular heads would end up lighter than listed. This style weedguard is much easier to paint AND weighs correctly.

That coil keeper looks like the ultimate jig preserver! Nice work sir!

And YES, they will make a soft plastic bait last a LOOONNNNGG time. This one caught somewhere between 100 and 150 crappie, before a brushpile finally stole it. Bait was looking rough, but it was still hanging on.
