I don't have much trouble with missing barbs with the new molds and very little flashing, but I think the soft lead will be even better to use.

I know that I can shop around and find them already made at a good price, but there's something about doing it yourself and catching crappie with them.

If you run across some cheaper hooks, please let me know. I only make my jigs with goold, blood red, and black hooks. I have ordered some #6 & #4 1x bronze jigs to fish a jig with a minnow.

I am molding only pony head for now. one mold is for 1/8 oz only with the other makes 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 & 3/8 oz. I also use these mold to make my jig head just leave the crane swivel off.

Any one need some Pony head jigs, I will make U a good price.
