new jigs

[robbor]

I just finished my homemade lead pot and poured my first jigs with it.
Jigs mold was made by me also and was unsure of the exact weight. I was trying to make them 1/4oz and they ended up being .2502oz unpainted. just under with a #4 hook and the weight above was with a #2 hook.

Here is the lead pot, its pretty ugly, but it is bottom pour and the pot is stainless steel.

Good work, I just went store bought for my stuff. This pouring is fun.

I tried to post a better pic but having alot of trouble with it, i think my image hosting site is also reducing my pic size.

I definitely like the heads on your jigs.

I bet those aspirins will give some Crappie a headache. They look good.

Hey if the homemade pot works for ya and it's safe you're set. Like those jig heads, is the mold handmade or did you have one made. Powder painted and google eyes on the sides would look really cool.

I poured the other 2 sizes today the big one is 1/4oz , middle one is a few grains over 3/32, and the smallest is about 5 grains over 1/16.

Im not super bowled over with the lead pot, im not quite getting enough heat.
I made the molds myself about 2 years ago.
