Thanks guys, my old supplier could no longer sell them so I decided to make my own. Also I am not selling these, these are for my personal use.

@hoxiedog, I catch alot of fish on horse heads and midspinners if you want to look at some midspinners to purchase go to slickjigs by creek slick. The 2 ways that I use them with success is longlining and shooting docks.

I have also found the best tool so far to clean out jig eyes. Split ring plier work better for cleaning out eyes than they do for opening split rings.

I have found that I hate split rings.

I borrowed a horse head mold. I wanted larger hooks than what you find in the ones you buy. I had to long gate the eye slot of the mold some. 100 each, 3/8 oz with 6/0 hook. 1/4 oz with 4/0 hook. 1/8 oz with 2/0 hook. 1/16 oz with #1 hook. A # 12 swivel in the 3/8 and 1/4 heads, #14 swivel in the 1/8 and 1/16 heads, # 14 split rings. I hand painted with lure paint and some good colors of nail polish, just the heads. No eyes to pop, stuck swivels and the barbs are natural. Some, the barb didn't form, I saved them for hand ties.
