Been catching most of my fish on orange and green chart, here are a few of them.

orange head with chartruese green body has been a real good producer for me too, especially dragging it behind the boat under a bobber, one pole out each side. sometimes tip it with a minnow. 1/16 oz. those jigs you tied look real good. the nylon medium chenille in chart. works good behind that orange head too. just a heads up- a freind of mine had me tie a bunch of 1/32 oz. jigs for him with size 2 hook, it had orange head chart. body and white marabou tail. he won't use any other jig.

how do you get a #2 hook in a 1/32oz jig???????:confused: I would love to have a 1/64 with a #4 hook (sickle hook) but I can't find a mold like that. Anybody know of one??

you have to modify your existing mold a tiny bit but the will fit in a regular mold

Just be real careful when you do it cause it doesn't take much. Have the hooks on hand and take a small bit off each hook slot until the hook fits and the mold close's correctly. Do each one the same way and then try a pour.

If everything went right the most you'll have to do is trim a little flash off of them, but it's usually not that bad.

Good luck and if you need more help let us know.

Thanks again Fatman....what do you modify it with...adremmel tool???drill press???? any help will be greatly appreciated... do you have to have some kind of special bit to make the hook hole flat or will rounded be ok like a regular drill bit makes

reaper,
I use a dremel tool with a bit that has a tiny ball on the end, you will need to elongate the hook eye recess. doesn't matter that it's a round bit. and be careful not to let the tool get away from ya. I put the mold in a vise, and get some good light on the subject, put my reading glasses on and rest the bottom of the tool hand on the handle of the mold for stability, then just line the bit up with where ya wanna cut and rock your hand towards the intended spot ever so slowly so as to control the cutting good as ya can. just be sure ya don't run into the head cavity.
