    Default Epoxy spoon jig??


    I saw somewhere and I cant remember for sure where, but its showed and told how to make a spoon jig using putty(maybe silly putty) as the mold then takin the hook and wrapin red thread on it and pressurin lightly into the putty then puttin the epoxy, allow to set,then takin it out and painting. I was lookin for that because I was goin to the store today but could not find it, and also I've seen the Pinmin and the ice jigs, could someone give me a list of the primary supplies need for those also?

    Thanks,
    AC

    Larry Dahlberg uses a spoon or anything that has a shape of interest. He has leftover epoxy from something he's working on and puts it to use. when hard he pops it out, sands any rough spots, and paints. He puts in a small piece of stainless wire for the connection, and it isn't concave. The rounded portion of the outside creates the motion. The one I saw him use was for a musky bait, so it must be tough. You probably meant a metal blade, just giving options. Baby spoon or tiny sweet n low spoon might be the right size. Cheap too.

    Larry Dahlberg is in a class all by himself. Constantly tweaking and sharing – somebody to aspire to in lure crafting.

    The FF article is very interesting and there is another issue where they use fake fingernails for fly spoons
