I'll do a little checking around in my catalogs. If we can get one I'll pour and paint you some "without" paint in the eyes!
Cool...I've looked online, and haven't found one yet. Thanks!

do-it carries an egg head mold but has a ring and barb collar and no 3/16th. You might be looking at a custom mold or try and make a plaster one.
Yeah, that's kinda what I keep running into. Thank You Fatman!

I have a 3/16 round head straight collar with a barb I use for fishing deep drops. I use glow heads and they work.
Jeff, I can get 3/16 round heads with a good barb and any size hook. I can also paint them any color you want. It's not the Crappie Pro style of head but I'll bet they will work just fine. I'm assuming that you want them to use with your Beavertails? I'll make up some with a few different hook sizes and try them out on my Beavertails. When I like what I've got I'll send you and your Dad some.
Later,
Dave
Hey thanks Dave! Not very many people use a 3/16 jig, but I sure like em.

How deep you fish? With light 8lb test only time I find the need for heavier than 1/8 is on Dardanelle cause we fish as deep as 25 to 40'. Heavier jigs can be a plus keeping in contact to feel the bite. IMOQuote:

Looked at the old Ament catalouge and they don't have one either. I have the Palmer catalouge at work in a dpf file I'll check tommorrow.
Thank you Fatman. I found an old Palmer's oval style mold, and it actually looks pretty similiar.

Yeah Looked at the Palmer oval - but you're stuck with the same problem no 3/16th. You could TRY!!!! and it's up to you by using a dremel and shaving some metal off the edges to make it bigger but if you do be REAL CAREFUL of the edge where the hook slot is, if you nick it you could end up with a hook eye encased in lead.
