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.

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.

Mo Quack,
Looks like the teardrop will put the bait back on the hook farther than the round head. I make the round head out of a mold I modified last spring. Real easy to modify a no collar round head mold. 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!!!
