Duck Billed Platypus Jig

[azslabber]

I'm just making a bunch of stuff that I have just sitting around,while it is sooo hot outside.
This is like 1/8 oz. Darterhead with a 1/0 hook.The bill is a size 1 Colorado blade.Intentions are for it to be like a crankbait.Able to hit the bottom and off of stuff.We'll see come tomorrow.Works good in the bath tub.

Looks good and should work like a "gravedigger" jig.

What are you using to make the slice in the jig head for the blade??? Dremel tool?? Looks good!!!!!

The slice is in the mold.The blade gets put in with the hook.Then when you pour it it is there to stay.I have to figure out how to keep the blade in there so it can not move at all while closing.If it gets a little cocked the lure does not run straight.A work in progress,lol.It's an old screwed up mold,so I can pretty much do anything without feeling bad about it,lol.

Looks more like a warthog to me,fish want be able to hide.Now hes going to root them out of hiding.And when it flips over a stick,rock or limb there want be any need of me going fishing,empty lake it will be know by.
