Thinking about making a few of these up this winter in different colors and selling them in the spring to make some gas money for the boat.

and thats prolly what will happen is I'll be stocked up and ready to go when the fishing gets good again, roflmao.

PM sent

looks good stretch.

I just ordered some more sickle jigheads so hopefully they will be in before the weekend so I can do some more. I'm gonna pick up some pink, blue and silver powder coating as well. Figure if I do a little each weekend I'll be ready to go for next year.

Hey if your not out there right now your missing the best fishing since last spring. Do that kinda stuff when we're covered in ice and can't be on the lake.

Them slabs are HONGREY rat now.

great job Stretch...
Look like you are on the right path. Whatever you do, keep those hooks' eyes open prior to marketing them to your fellow anglers like the one on your pix. That would always be a plus. No one likes to have to open up eyes to tie on the line while being on the water. Even if it cost you more time to charge a touch extra is still better than a quick job at lesser cost...My 2 cents

yes sir, I'm gonna build a holder to hold 25 of them at a time that will cover the eye and hook so it will only cover the jighead with powder, gonna pick up a cheap toaster oven at wal mart tonight. I did a lot of reading about it last night and got some good ideas to make these look professionally done. I'll post another pic once I have some that look better.

Looks good Stretch.

wanna buy some? I'll offer special pricing for you since you were gonna rescue me at Raybob yesterday, only $20.00 per 10 jigheads!!! Any color you want.

Gosh I feel special.

very nice! where are you getting your supplies?

got the powder at bass pro. the sickle hook jigheads came from finnytribe.com was really easy to do but took forever doing them one at a time last night, did about 50 of them in an hour.

just ordered some teflon blocks to make the holders from mcmaster.com and some teflon tubing to cover the eyes with.

should be able to do about 20-25 at a time depending on the internal dimensions of the toaster oven I get tonight.

This will give me something to do this winter since its gonna be a cold one this year.

How much do ya'll think they are worth?

Once you can do 25 at a time and they are totally messed up they should be worth 15 cents each.

come on now, give me a little credit. I'll post a pic once I have my holder built and have 25 of them done that look awesome, youll see.

and dont be hating in front of everyone, you know you pm'd me an order for 20 of each color a few minutes ago. lol

Yes but you said those were free if I would say they were great after I got them.

Keep dreaming!!! I might let you have 1 for free to test out and report back on but that would be it.

I'm sorry I forgot that you told me not to tell the others.

They look great buddy!

Picked up my toaster oven and my teflon pieces came in to make the holders. I think this oven will hold about 80 jigheads at one time so I can make 80 and cure them all at the same time.

Make sure and do them out in the garage or the Mrs.'s will have you for toast.

Gman

shoot, I was thinking about cooking some toast in it while the jigheads are curing. YUMMY!!!

whats the toaster for? can you go thru the process step by step for a rookie!!!! pics would be great, holder oven dipping process etc. Thanks in advance!
