On the 3/16 bit for head can use 1/4 but I like to redip head to make 2 color bait and smoother head also.Then I went to metal shop and bought a 2 x 1/2 or 3/4 thick strip of metal. For flat tail I used a Dremel grinder with a cutting blade and only grind a little metal off of one side of mold the shape I wanted. This mold was harder to do than BGSS style which is real easy as long as you keep pulling bit out of alumnin before bit clog up. I had a drill press which which help. When I redip head I would ease bait into water than do one right after another. I hope I explain it ok.
Where abouts are you from in NC? My buddy met some gentlemen at a ramp on LKN a few years ago that did the stinger thing with an old drill bit, and melted old bass worms and whatnot bought on clearance or at flea markets....I'm here to too you those little baits flat out caught fish.
