We have the horsehead mold because it has the 1/48 oz head yes it is a pain to make but a great lure for bream to walleye do not know anyone that produces one to sell maybe wrong. The 3/16 oz we have found to be quite good with a willow leaf blade hard to find also.The tire weights work well for us because it makes the lead a little harder and holds the hook better once molded.We have went to the eagle claw gold hooks will hold fish well and will bend so you can get your lure back without breaking also has a better barb than the sickle hooks.Thats what has been working for us hope this helps.If you need the barb we just add the little wire keeper you can get from barlows.com works great to hold the plastic without tearing your tube or grub.We have a picture on our web site you can see the keeper fits the mold without drilling or any work to the mold.
