Hey Mo Quack,
I have been making this type heads with a modified mold and they are the ticket. No splitting. Pain in the rear end to make . Them little wires are hard to get in the mold. Gave some to my Bobby Garland fanatic buddies and thats all they want.

I have had this mold for a while now and I love it. It is a thin minnow, but it is a great bait. I bought it because it was the closest resemblence of the fin s bait style. I wont even dare using a 1/8 with it. I use a 1/24 to a 1/16 and it works ok with that. When I saw this mold come out I knew it was a must have and I jumped on it.
crappieseeker, is the 1/24 alittle bigger than a 1/16?
between a 1/32 and a 1/16, those wire keeper jigs are the ticket... Thats whats great about this forum! Ask and you shall recieve.... amazing
Here are some wire keeper jig heads for sale. Might try them out before you buy the mold!
Super Keeper Jig Heads
I've been looking for a head mold like that forever! I need to decide between the tear drop head or a round head. I'm leaning toward the round. Dang it I come on here looking for advice on ONE mold now I've buying two thanks guys jeez lol your right this is a great forum with wonderful people.
The 1/24 is a little smaller than the 1/16th. It is half way between the 16 and 32, so that makes it a little lighter than the 16th. It works really well for a slower fall and it is killr when you double rig with it. I have had several double catches this year running two of those jigs at a time.

Dremel out the wire slot or file and widen the hook shank part in the mold. I did 4 cavity mold in 30 mins. Bent all my own wires out of .025 soft stainless safety wire. The wires sell for $65.00 per 1000. WB400 Keeper Wire Form Twice what I pay for the hook. Crazy!!!
