I know how to pour the lead jigs and I can figure out how to tie the feathers, but the rubber body is the problem. Anyone have a clue how to do it. What type of material is it and what kind of mold to buy or make? They are the best crappie jigs I have ever used and having all that I can make would be great. This is also something for my son to do to stay out of trouble and to keep in in the fishing spirit all year.
