Trial run of Pony Head jigs with sickles....

I had just a little bit of soft lead, got plenty of the hard stuff, but gave it a trial run. I hope to also make these with other metals instead of lead so I don't have to paint them.

LOOKING GOOD!!!!!!!! Now if you powder paint make sure to wrap some aluminum foil around those swivels!!!! or you're in for a mess trying to get it off so they'll spin.

Before I bought the horsehead mold I would just cut the collar and barb off for tying. Left it on for plastics.

Are your fingers a bit warm gettin those swivels in straight so you could close the mold:D:D:p:p I can laugh as I've been there

Enjoy and keep up the good work. Before painting take a small emory board and hit the spot where you took the sprue (pouring spout) off makes painting a whole lot easier, no bumps

looks good sac-a-lait

Looks like you were busy. If you are going to foil the swivels - might as well do the eyes too, unless you are using hemostats on them.

hey fat man I been using a chop stick to put in the parts but yea it can get a bit warm. Not as bad as having molten lead splatter up on your hand or just a few drops...It burns man!!!

here's some just about finished. I won't be painting but will be using different metals to get different colors, etc

Hey fatman I even got a secret mold that I'm pouring in too. So I'm making all kinds of stuff...I'm using 4 molds. One for pony heads, one for regular round jig heads, a 2 oz bank sinker model that makes 4, 2 oz bank sinkers each pour and then the super secret mold. I poured some of the SS mold and went fishing and WOOOOOWWWW NELLY!!!!! I caught some pigs!!!

The most I've had going at one time is 7 molds, pony, horse, 2 ball - with and without collar, minnow head, tiny tube, and a sinker mold (for my son).

NOW!!!!!!!! What is so darned SPECIAL about this super secret mold???? We know where you live so FESS UP ( at least give us some pictures of the jig):p:p:p

Fatman

HUmmm I'm wondering about sickles now as today I was trolling some of the jigs you see in the pic above and we caught some NICE fish but I lost a MONSTER on one of these sickle hooks. I'm new to them and maybe they require some getting used to but if thise becomes a trend I will go back to the old school 570 style.

Hey fatman PM me your mailing address.
