One of my jigs

Seen alot of tyers here so i thought id post one of my jigs since you guys like barbless jigs.
This is the first aspirin type head mold i made. Im not sure of the size but looks like about an 1/8 or a tad heavier and should be a #4 hook. The mold had some flaws .007 out of allignment but poured a nice head its made offset alot to accomidate smaller hooks for compact jigs/bodies. I couldnt figure out how to manually make the barbs on the mill so i made 2 barbless molds before moving on to the cnc to make some with barbs. The mold was tough to separate without handles and flat sides. I still dont have a bottom pour pot up n running so i didnt pour any of the other sizes as they have really small pouring gates. Sorry if the pic is a tad big.
The jig in the background is a do-it double barb 3/32 i poured today also.

Here is the mold i posted earlier before i added the sprues on the gates.

You can re size you pictures at photobucket and store them there as well. I am trying to decide if this is an ad or if you are just showing your things? If your selling post them on the swap meet board. SO is this to sell something or not?

Haha robbor!! .007 - Boy you are way off...... to a flea that is!
Nice head, would make some good bucktail jigs.


Skip - He's been on here for awhile now. Everyone on here (including yourself) posts pics of what they are currently working on just to show off what they are proud of..... Are you selling those jungle cock feathers - or whatever they are? Not trying to jump on your back and say you did something wrong by posting any of your pics, just want you to see that we ALL do it. No bad intentions! To me, showing off is half the purpose of the entire crappie.com site! No mention of price..... ;) Give the poor guy a break, he was .007 off!! :eek: :rolleyes: :D :D :)

No not selling. Just info and ideas for those those who can appreciate the trouble and may choose to try and make their own lures possibly.
It wasnt off because of me:D, it was off becuase of how worn the mill was. The cnc'd ones are alot better and they after got a digital readout for the manual mill which would have made things alot closer.

Just curious as to where the scare of anyone selling anything came from???
:confused:

guilty conscience or.......?

If someone wants to show off, do up some lazer etched hooks that read...Bite Me.

Sometimes I think those durned fish need INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Look if you have some opinion that you wish to say why not say it unless then it would be a personal comment which is not allowed on C.C?

Just being vigilant as to what kind of post is on here as is my job. Ads are not allowed be anyone. If you wish to question my intent maybe you should PM me or keep out of it. Kind of funny you show up on every questionable post to express some opinion that doesn't concern you or to take a shot.

Thanks for letting me know as I really couldn't tell the purpose of the post. I felt it probably was showing or a question about what you were doing, but I just couldn't tell so I ask. I feel it's better than I just delete it so thanks for letting me know what I needed to know.

Since I don't really pay a lot of attention to post about molds I really didn't know what you were doing before.

OH an BTW, I like the heads.

Are you making the mold or did you buy it? I ask because it seems like you could do the same thing and have a little extra metal in the middle to make eye sockets?

Thanks again,
Skip

How could the two pictures in this post possibly be construed as an ad???

“I am trying to decide” isn’t that oxymoron?

It was construed as and I don't know what is is. Leave it be!
Do you really think he needs help from this big old bad wolf or do you just want to start more crap?

Seems to me two of you just look for stuff to start so I would really appreciate it if you two just not reply to my post at all. Find something to do other than stir the pot.

Bingo!!

Actually no I am not selling my jingle cock feathers nor am I nor do I plan to sell flies or jigs with them. I bought that for me Period! Roll you eyes all you want and if you want this job please tell Slab and me and I will give it to you today. It is funny how I can't ask one question about a post without several of you guys not just explaining it to me, but taking shots my way. I ask a simple question and I know nothing about molds or pouring and I do mean nothing.

Like I have nothing better to do that ready every post here and explain to each one here why I ask a question, Get over it guys and leave me and my questions alone. I don't need any of your judgments nor will I tolerate them.

Board Rules

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the rules for this forum which are the same throughout crappie.com:
Ed- Site Owner and Administrator:

Crappie.com is my website -
These are my rules, and I insist on Crappie.com being a FAMILY oriented “Teach a person how to fish” web site, that any age fisherperson can visit.

If anyone breaks these rules, their posts may be edited or deleted (at the discretion of the Moderator) ... and they can/will be banned, simply at my discretion, if they continue to break these rules.

Plain and simple: No personal attacks will be tolerated, and nothing that a child cannot view will be tolerated. (ie - foul language, inappropriate pictures, inappropriate Member ID names, etc)

In an effort to ensure that “friendliness prevails over everything else” on the Crappie.com boards, no personal attacks, or even negative connotations towards others, will be tolerated, whatsoever. This is not a threat, this simply will be the guidelines used by our moderators and myself. So, in other words, do not be surprised if your post is edited or deleted. It may even happen by accident. Do not be offended. We’re just trying to preserve the intention and spirit of the site ... the sharing of information, promotion of the sport, the making of friends whom share our love and devotion to Crappie fishing, and the promotion and preservation of this site's integrity and dignity.

So, with that in mind, your posts may be edited or deleted at the drop of a hat, if you post anything that even mildly smells like, or barely resembles a personal attack or negative connotation towards another. We will not debate what we’ve done, although we may or may not provide an explanation."

Thanks all, you’re a great bunch and I hate for differing opinions to create enemies.

If you have any problems bring it up with a Moderator or Ed.

Hey guys,
I am not trying to stir the pot, but I do have a few questions.

1. I read the board rules on the main page for this forum and could not find anything that prohibits the placing of an ad, so can someone please point me to the full list of board rules so that I can become aware of them. I would hate to break them.

2. If posting an ad is against the forum rules, why are people allowed to include links to their personal business webpage, where they sell jigs, in their signature? Isn’t that a form of advertising?

actually only sponsors are suppose to thats why i paid my money...i had alot of my posts deleted because i didnt pay...as for the rules look up 2 posts i posted them

as for selling jigs they are put in the swap area...we try to keep all info pertaning to the same thing in 1 area. So you dont have people selling stuff where bait is, or showing your catches in the recipe section. Just easier that way..

PB, I see lots of stuff about not attacking others and keeping it clean. I cannot find anything about not posting ads. Maybe I am missing it in the post.

the piece you quoted is why people have their websites in their signature line...if you look by their names it says sponsor..

I don't think you are reading far enough down. Read Slab's post under the rules and the only place someone can post an ad is on the swap meet board. I can't even list my Pro Staff in my Sig. Also pay $50 a year to have my Sig as it is.

Advertising is about the fastest way to get ban from crappie.com other than posting Porn. Next is making trouble. Just the facts.

Skip

PB, Maybe I just don't see it. Do the rules say that only a Sponsor can post ads? If so can you point me to it? That is what I cannot find.
I am not trying to be a punk, I just want to make sure that I know all the rules of the board.

listen BM only sponsors can have their website address in their SIGNATURE line...Also slab said in his reponse that if your selling it stays in the swap area

Skip,
Again, not trying to be difficult, I just want to make sure I know all the rules. I cannot find this information can you point me to where it is. I really appriciate it.

heres an easy thing to do...PM slab with your question or talk to a moderator

The best way is just PM Slab as he is always available and he will tell you everything you want to know as he owns Crappie.com. I do think that is best since you don't believe us. Not taking it as making trouble, but I have way too much to do to keep this going so just PM him and you will know.

My deepest appoligies Robbor. :( This post seemed to get a black eye and it looks like you put alot of work into making those. I do like them very much! I made a .007 rectangle on my diamond engraver at work.... pretty much the width on the point of the diamond!!! :eek: :cool:

he did put some work into them. when i was working at my uncles machine shop. i dabbled in making a mold, i gave up lol....it takes some practice

..

noones scared of competition...if you can make a better jig or make a better mold more power to you.

Just one of the reasons why I do not post anymore. The big bad wolf always has the last word. This is supposed to be a place to show off items and learn some tricks of the trade. I see many jigs and gizmos posted from nearly everyone in here and I don't think twice about them perhaps being an advertisement. I appreciate seeing anything new. Nice job on the mold. Nice jungle cape too!! Why so serious????

Let me ask something here so that I can have a full understanding as well, you ready here it is.

Who is PBug and what exactly is his function here on CC ?

I get that he is a sponsor here on CC but what other roles does he play here is he a mediator or anything along that line, I would just like to know for I see the name everywhere and voices his opinion about allot even if he doesnt always have the right answer for the questions.

So would someone please tell me who in the heck is PBUG....

im me and thats it

what do you wanna know about me

didnt know i needed to ask you if i wanted to post where i wanted to. yeah im on here alot, why because my job now is a tackle store I own. and further more dont worry about me, worry about your self....like my PM said that i sent you all you gotta do is ask if want to know about me...
