very nice Bob
Not sure I call that a pill head as the ones I have are just round. So that one looks like a longer type that you flattened out huh? Looks good though, got the shape of a minnow or little fish.
Good job,
Skip
thank you G.Quote:

Very nice - have just the regular tube insert mold but wonder what that one would look like have to pull one out and try it.
That's a good looking jig. Should be a HOT color too.Thumbs Up
That will work Bob. Glad you are feeling a little better. Do not overdo it. Take it easy.
looks like a custom minnow head to me...I like it!Quote:

Good paint job Snake. Yes I did a bunch of my custom jig heads that way and wasn't happy how they turned out but do like the way that your insert turned out. May have to get one of those molds and play around with it. Never know until you start to experiment as to how stuff will turn out.

They look awesome, good job!
I like it! Skinny profile to go through weeds and along underwater structure with a wider profile from the sides for adding larger eyes and doing more detail paint jobs.

I'm having a problem finding jig heads with "red eyes" that protrude like those.
If you decide to mass produce 'em, PM me.
I made these a few years ago from the same idea. Covered in mylar.

If they do run up the Powder River in the spring in order in the rivers throughout the summer months they range from very small on up to three in 4 pounds.
Nice idea, I think I will mash some jig heads we put inside of the hollow tube jig and shape them with a dremel. Thanks
Those are sweet looking jigheads. Nice touch with the Mylar.Quote:
