Chomper head. Basically a minnow head with V opening for a real mouth. Allows you to paint it and then give it a red or other colored mouth to set it off like a real minnow. Flat spot for eye.

it looks like pac-man? just kidding
I've got the head designed what size ?
I missed the spinnerbait mold part. I have a great idea but have to throw it at you in pm. I think this style would work great for crappie though. Anything that has a place to put a different color.
5/8 - 1/4
Well that is different then.
Under the head is my favorite.
Sorry, got carried away.
i wouldnt go below a 1/32 because even a 1/32 is a pain to cast for a spinner bait since they seem to catch the wind...i would say a #4 for 1/32 #2 for 1/16 and #1 or 1/0 for 1/8....i make 1/16 and 1/8 and you really dont need nothing beside them two sizes
Okay, now I am really confused. I think spinner bait I think bass baits. If we are talking crappie spinner baits that I would say 1/8. I don't recall seeing a crappie spinner bait in my Local stores. Guess I am not able to see it in my head right now.
All right I'll go with the 1/32,1/16,1/8 all three I'll go ahead and make them tri spin's meaning I can go over,under or inline using vent pin's in mold thank's better get busy.
fish4 just think bass spinner bait but down size it by 5 then you got yourself a crappie spinner bait...
flatfish, who is gonna machine the mold for ya?
I do all My mold building I'm a 30yr Aircraft tool and die Guy.
Machine a mold for me, is someone volunteering? lol. I have a couple molds but nothing for crappie. One might work but it is big so not sure.
I have just never used them. Only thing I had heard of was a beetle spin, from the look of it I guess they are one in the same or at least very similar.
I guess they could work here, can't do any worse than I have with anything else in my worst lake ever.
You never know I' might send you some open mouth recessed eye minnow's ! weight ? O collar? barb?
hey flat i some some really good molds i wanna get made but it cost so much...i got some blanks but dont have the cash to get them milled...ill pm you with what i have came up with and see what you think...i did have one mold milled but we did it at work on the CNC but we are laid off right now so i cant make anymore for a while (prob a year)
Actually I think I might draw one up on My cad tomorrow and program it I might like some as well that's if the wind isn't blowing if it isn't I'm going fishing gotta try some new bait's Boy that's a good excuss!
Don't matter to me what size or style. Barbs are a pain for my jig tying but for plastics is a must have. Maybe I need to send you all my junk lead and have you pour them for me. :D Don't know how much I have but should all fit in a flat rate priority box.Quote:
