If you have ever seen a speghetti bead you have the basic idea. Now take the bead and take off most of one side and it is perfect. I need an oblong solid worm/grub shape to go under my crochet patterns, needs to cover 85-90% of the hook shank to the bend, tapered at both ends, flat one one side if possible.
Like I said, take a speghetti bead, sand off one side just to the point the hole is starting to open up and you have the shape I need.
Why not just get some of these, and fix them to suit ya : 19x6mm spaghetti beads - Shop sales, stores & prices at TheFind.com :confused:
I'll tell ya what .... if I could figure out a way to get a jig hook into one of these, what with the colors they come in and all, I think they'd make some interesting looking baits Thumbs Up
... cp :cool:
pappy, could you use a dremmel tool and widen the hole some and then take a long shank hook and feed it up through it and then seal the top?
I'd just take a long shank hook, clip off the eye, thread on the bead, and re-form a new eye.Quote:

I make huge ones for steelhead but for trout, crappie and panfish I want much smaller ones and a hard slick body under neath doesn't work, I know, I have tried.
Here is one made with the spaghetti bead:

A soft get body underneath would make thing so much simpler and easier. And give me the variety i need to tie them on any size jig instead of only ones that fit the 2 sizes of spaghetti bead.
have you looked at the tip molds
I don't pour any of my own, will be looking for someone who has them and I will buy them. I guess I will have to look for a mold close to what I need or maybe make one that is a simple pour mold and not an injector. Maybe FF can help me with the mold.
it l9oks likr it would be a pain in the rear to tie goodluck
Does this look like what you are looking for?
It's close but I need more taper and a flat side. Flat side can be done pretty easy but the taper is not so easy.
seeker send me some of those. Bear mold .Quote:
