I believe in them also. They are my go to bait. Tip them with a crappie nibble.

Nice core shot.

Take a look in a Salvation Army or Goodwill store in the household areas. They usually have bins full of old silverware for next to nothing. Both spoon types work but the more pointed ones are easier to deliver small amounts of plastic in smaller molds. One of the keys is to get the plastic fairly hot and keep stabilizer handy to add before re-heats. On my initial cook or re-heat of the plastic going into the belly, I use the spoon to stir as the plastic heats. That way the spoon will be hot and plastic won't build up on the bottom quite as fast. Don't hurry yourself and take time to get used to pouring from a spoon using a bunch of re-heated junk plastic. Get familiar with the process before both feet go into it.

On these small plastics the eyes are 3mm and yes there is a clear cover dip.

I go to thrift stores and pick up metal spoons with a wooden handle tohekp from burning your fingers. Take a hammer and hit the spoon against a hard piece of iron until it bends a little like a funnel. That way you can pour hot plastic in really tight areas.

I do have a mold that shoots 48 of the 11/2" or maybe a hair better from Bass tackle.

You can also cut the tails off...thread marabou through the head with a needle and make jelly jigs using the same mold.
