A member here sent me some of his heads....so here is the popeye jigs done my way...I spent a little time checking weights and learning...maybe someone has a true 1/64 head I'd like to weight it on my grain scales... it really tells the true story... these are as light as I think I will go, let me know if this don't look like the popeye you've seen...I did put my flash in them...just could not resist LiftbiteAttachment 93688
Here is one of mine that I have caught a lot of fish on and in same color! This one is a 1/32 o, but not true weight! I have a digital scale and the ones I have that are supposed to be 1/80 are actually extreamley close to 1/64!

You guys are good!!!! Have been mixing a little tin with our lead have some small scales don't know how accurate have not been calabirated.We pour the 1/48 th oz in the minnow head and the 1/80 th a friend wanted some 1/64 oz to use under a bobber in shallow water around logs just out of the current in our rivers.Great Thread!!!!!
Thanks Liftbite! Also your jigs look good and I like the colors. They will catch fish I feel sure!
Jackie53 I bought some digital scales and a 200 Gram weight to make sure they are accurate and I weight every type and weight head I buy just so I know what is real. I think the mold makers are just making molds by size and really don't try to make them so there weight is accurate. My 1/64 are closer to 1/48 and the 1/80 actually 1/66.
Great work,lb. I like the short thread neck. I think it'll give the jig more life in the water.
