Actually I wouldn't mind just the powder coating.

If you can produce a few to sell just let me know.

ive been making my own jig heads for a while, and if you wnat to put eyes on them thats great, but it doesnt make one bit of differens if you have eyes, or if you even color your jig heads, weight is the only thing that matters in my book, not color or eyes. now, if you insist on eyes, go to barlows tackle shop, and tell them you need some, eyes, theyll help you find the right mold, eyes,powder paint, and outer coating to fit your needs. oh, anda little tip, wd40 your molds, its makes a huge difference in how your jigheds turnout.

the wd40 helps the lead, go into the mold more sloothly, so the lead gets in to every little nook and cranny in the mold, so the slabs or jig heads are smoother, and have less air pockets in them, believe me it helps

do you spray the mold with the wd40 before you heat up the mold and let it dry? or spray it before each pour? if you spray it before each pour with the mold hot, does it flash off or dry before the lead goes in or do you pour the lead with it wet?

wd40 doesn't dry all that fast but not sure how quick it will when heated. also do you get a lot of fumes from it?

when the mold is heated properly, and i also heat the forms and hooks, i have no problems but can always use a good tip.
