Jackie I like those heads. What mold is that and what size eyes? That's what I have been wanting to try to make
Do-it teardrop (model JT-7-WBA)with with wire keeper 1/16,(1/8 and 3/16 oz ),1/4,5/16,3/9 and 1/2 (eyes) Molded 3d mad eye 3/16.I added the wacky jig weedguard!!! They will fit in mold no modification!!! Do-it Bat jig model( Bat-7-A)!! Use # 2 gold eagle claw(little nasty) hooks can bend with breaking and will fit mold!! (Need to heat hook up just a little before bending)(can heat up on side of lead melter before bending) (with Needle nose pliers)!!Quote:

I think in the winter time when the fish are lethargic and have a lot of time to look a bait over the more realistic a bait the more bites. I think the 3d eyes are a great add to a jig and would like to try some out. The rest of the year I am pushing or pulling poney heads.
