Few more
Got my bat jig mold in the other day and gave it a text ... Happy and frustrated at the same time . Every thing works great except the 1/4 oz cut out , won't hold hooks in place . Dang things slide out of position every time I turn the mold to pour ! On the bright side the 3/16 work great ... turned out about 50 heads . Gomma call Do-it monday and see if we can't remenady this problem.
Anyway a few of what I've been working on ... everything pictured is 3/16 with #6 wacky hooks

Thanks all ... been running them through the paces ! It's a satisfying feeling to catch fish on something that you created . That being said I'm not a big time tinkerer however I wasn't really happy with the way the jig hung with the hook eye so far forward . I do most of my fishing dipping a long pole so I like my jigs to hang horizontal , with the eyes forward it was more of a swim jig SO I broke out the dremel tool and went to work on my mold and adapted the 1/8 3/16 and 1/4 oz cavities to fit a 90 degree jig hook ... still using the #6 wacky hook just have to bend them myself ! Very pleased with the results have gave about 3 doz away to be field tested and everyone loves them . They aren't snag proof ( what is ? ) but was fishing some really nasty tops yesterday and never lost a single jig , YES I had to poke some free but always got it back in short order with little effort.
Those dogs will hunt. Nice job.
