makelure is great. also try tackleunderground and look in the hardbait how-to section. several in there

make your own. Get a bullet weight the size you want. get the hook you want. get the screw locks they use for shakey heads. now use a hacksaw blade to cut a groove in the head. take the screw lock and slide over the hook. slide both of those into the bullet weight. mold that with bondo. bam your very own bullet head jig with the hook you want, the best bait keeper around and you made it for cheap.

i attach my blades directly to my hook, i used a moddified poisontail mold. i use the standard blade and i dont bend them. i have not had any problems with them (3/8oz) at any speed or retrieve style.

thanks guys they have been running fine with the new reel.

i was using a swimbait as the body. no skirt. i do have an update. i bought a Lews 7.1:1 it is the same gear ration as the last reel just brand new. i made another couple baits and i made one just plain and simple. a bead and a blade and it was the big blade. the water was a little murky but i feel like it was straight. i hope to get to a clearer lake and test them again.

ok the smaller blade didnt help. ilast night it looked like it did. just tried it and it still leaned.

So the buzzbaits i made from the poisontail mold want to lean to the right as they come in. i put a smaller blade and the problem is fixed. The bait is a 3/8 oz bait and the blade is the standard size 3....which is for 3/8 and 1/2 baits. I dont want the smaller blade, i dont want a heavier buzzbait. i want the bigger blade with the 3/8oz head. the bait tracks true, just the body leans to the right when you look at it coming in. any ideas on how to fix this are greatly appreciated.

we had ping pong size hail and just across base Boeing recorded 89MPH winds. It was nuts. there are people who wont have power until Monday. I did get a video. ill post today some time.

I was nervous too, but i think it adds to fun of everything. i grabbed a cup of coffee and some needle files and just took my time. came out great. too bad we had 70MPH winds here last night and 30 today. i probably wont be able to get a video

Bearsbaits use to have a scoppernog colorant

I like EVA, the rubberized, then plastic.

Forgot to mention. The part i impressed myself with was with one bend on the buzzbait wire i can run it in the same groove as the spinnerbait so i only had to mod it for the spinnerbait and both fit. :archery-095: NAILED IT!!!

I modded my first Poison tail so i could have larger heavy duty hooks and a screw lock trailer keeper. This one now does spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. From 2 moddified Poison tail molds i can now make flipping jigs, swim jigs, bladed jigs, spinnerbaits, and buzzbaits. I hope to have some videos tomorrow of the spinnerbait and buzzbait.

I just moddified my poison tail mold so i can make spinnerbaits and buzzbaits with it. BUT....how do you guys powdercoat the heads of spinnerbaits and buzzbaits?

i fish the ponds on the Kansas wildlife website. they all work out about the same for me. Mostly 1-2lers with an ocassional 3lber mixed in.

That is all i fish. i don't have any access to private places.

post up some pics of them when you get them. Let eveyone here check them out so they can let you know if they see something wrong with them. I personally think that is a great deal . painted and weedguards. have fun spending hours on fishingskirts.com trying to put colors together in your head lol. i love it.

i know its a little late for winter fishing talk, but right now with this warming trend several places are showing good activity. i have been throwing moving baits with pretty good sucess. Mainly swimjigs and chatterbaits.

cyclops i think you are misunderstanding. We are talking about the paint chipping around the weedguard not the hook eye.

i vote for the teflon pins as well. i dont use them yet, but i dont powder coat with the metal pins either. i take the pins out and drill the hole out. it is an extra step but the result is better than i have had with powder coating with the pin in.

they are 2.5mm. Its what the mold called for. they feel a tad small on the 3/8oz head but perfect on the 1/4oz head. i am using a regular flat stick on eye and then using a jig op coat to paint over the eyes and i put some on the bottom of the jig to help give it a little more protection and a super smooth surface for skipping.

I know the first thing everyone will mention is that the spike it has scent added. I dont mind the garlic scent from the Spike it, but i am kinda worried about the straight alcohol smell from the CS Coating. I am just wondering who has had experience with the CS Coating and if the smell has made a difference. I found a place with every color you can think of in big bottles for 3 bucks. I would love to stock up and have all the colors im just worried that alcohol smell would deter the fish from the bait. Thanks in advance. Note. I do try to use B.A.N.G. scent on my slow moving baits but dont really use any on the moving baits...mainly swimjigs.

i can post pictures of the mold, but this was pictures of the jigs from the mold. I have only broken one eye and that was when i was opening it. I heated it up and opened it, but it wasn't open enough so i tried to open it more without heating it again and it snapped.

I use the bright orange butane tourch from harbir freight. Hold the hook with pliers, heat tils glows bright, then use another pair to open it. That is the first thing i do. Then olace in mold and pour.

Well i only have one mold. I started with the poison tail from Do-it. BUT i wanted a multy purpose jig. So i sucked it up and modified the mold. It now can handle the normal EWG hooks for my swimjigs, a heavy duty round bend for flipping jigs, and i can open the eyes of the hooks to make bladed jigs. I also added a crew lock trailer keeper because i like to skip. Here is a short video i did. As always questions, comments, and concerns are always welcome.
