new jigs
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.

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.

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