Wow. It came

 

[Melvinp]

Wow. It came

Nope I’m using a different mold this one is for 1/0 to 2/0 but the black nickel hooks are heavier wire and they fit the mold good I’m using size 2 mustad hooks it works well gives me a little shorter overall length but a heavier ball.

 

[Melvinp]

I really should be tying flys but

 

[A-5]

Love it!

 

[Solitario Lupo]

Now I know where I’m buying my jigs from. Lol. Looking good

 

[Melvinp]

Thanks a lot A5 now I’m going to have to be a pinhead great well maybe just a bobberhead for now

 

[Melvinp]

Gotta weight them though hook size is ok but 3.5 /1/8 oz don’t think they make salmon river rules gotta get battery’s for my scale to find out

 

[Melvinp]

I’ve learned a lot in a short amount of time messing with jigs from pouring to powder coat so far I can tell ya is have good clean lead before you pour and as powder coat goes I can tell ya I want a fluid bed it’s ok when you have a nice new jar of powder but when it starts to get low not so much

 

[Melvinp]

Endless

I think you need more practice. Those won't be any good. Just box them up and send to me for disposal.

It’s funny how I caught a lot on buggers and now I don’t even tie them anymore. Guess I gotta do some.
