ok so before my supplier gets nailed by swat lol I'm gonna buy up a bunch of pony head jigs. The question I have what sizes and kinds(colorado ,Indiana etc etc ) blades would I use for a 32oz with a #6 and a 16oz with a #4 hook also what colors would you suggest
Thanks
Okay ACCORDING to the mold for 1/16 and 1/32 they say a size 00 blade with a 0 split ring.
Now, for someone who's been pouring them a long time I've put up to a size 1 on a 32nd oz and it's worked fine. Doesn't matter what type of blade that's half the fun of making them yourself.
Now the only blade I've EVER worried about is the willow blades. I just bought some size 1 nickle willows to use on 1/16 oz with a size 2 sickle.
Haven't put them together yeat as I've got to get them painted.

I use both Indiana and willow in brass & silver. Of course the silver Roadrunner ones with the imprint too.

To be honest, I have been looking at the pony heads more and more and I think that small blades in multiples will work really well. I am think of making the ones I was sent with 2-4 size 00,0,or 1 blades. I think this will give it more action and might even make some noise as they try to flutter around on each other.
My personal opinion on the right size is one that makes the total length of the swivel and blade come right to the first bend of the hook. I can't say this is right because I have not fished them yet but is my first impression as to what is the right size.
i USE OO BLADE AND O SPLIT RING
