    Sorry dewman - I assumed you were just talking pouring that style head and already had everything else. Probably depending on what you get to melt + lead another $100. $0.21 cents each.

    But when you can pour a pile of them it's nice

    Default Now I see why they cost so much. Lots of time and materials!

    Does anyone have a mold that can pour more than one 1/32 poney head at a time?

    Only the 1/8th and 1/4th come in multi cavity - everything else is assorted 1 of each.

    I use a lot of different ones - last order of cranes and swivels came from Crazy Angler Tackle, on 1000 counts call and ask for a price.

    Hooks I got from Capt Hooks back when I ordered a bunch of them.

    I also order from Hagens - If you get the german split rings they can't be used for regular lures like spoons or cranks, they're just light weight ones I use for the horseheads and my beetle spin frames.

    Janns Netcraft when I can get a good deal - and I've found lots of vintage spinner blades on ebay in larger lots, and one guy I get a bunch of large natural hair pieces - deer, elk, prong horn, mule deer, etc. Cabelas I get to once a year when I go see my grand daughter and the wife doesn't give me much hassle when I come out with a basket full, plus family got me a bunch of gift cards from there for Christmas this year.

    Powder I get from who's got what I want and what's cheapest. I have powder from Netcraft, Crazy Angler, Columbia Coatings, Rosy's, Pro-Tec and Orbit and they all work well.

    Best advice I can give anyone is do up an order and write it out for a bunch of different companies and if you can get even paying a little more for all or most of it, it does run cheaper in the long run as it's only a shipping cost for one place.
