Bringing this back up because I will have some free time soon and plan on going forward with the project. Since a machinest friend is currently laid off and offered to help it shouldn't be hard to modify the mold.
Now for the questions= What weight and hook size does eveyone like? The 3/8oz lists 3/0 but most Do-It molds will take 1 size larger hooks.
The swimming hornet uses a crane swivel molded into the head but I was thinking of trying a looped wire end? I guess I will wait and see what Don says as I have the horsehead mold swivel cavity as a reference. Overall the most expensive component of this bait is the ball bearing swivel but these things can only cost about $1.25 to make.
