Sending some your way once I get them the way I like them.
Love the way the sprue just breaks off when I pull them out of the mold.
These were gated to the rear which means almost no cleanup needed.

I am ticked at the Captain right now! It has been almost 6 weeks since I order a lot of hooks from them. Shorty's sent my order in 5 days for comparison.
BTW if you are looking for some cheap hooks there is a guy on Facebook selling the EC lil nasty hooks $18 for 1k.

Some different jigheads I made a mold for that I just finished earlier. Plan on making a structure jig of my own design so I figured I would tear apart a couple Strike King ones to see how theirs are made. Going to stick with a similar head shape but going with a different style of hook collar and barb.

That wire keepers for Ned heads I order direct from Mustang Wire and their minimum is 10k. I have a few spares in case I drop them on the floor like usual.

Sorry, read your question wrong. Those are either EC or VMC and as bluebasser mentioned EC has stepped up their game in the last couple of years. Since Mustad moved their production to China IMO EC are now better and cheaper than Mustad.
Now getting one of these companies to make a custom hook is proving to be difficult.

Not just worms it is everything for me. The craziest is deep diving crankbaits? I have 25 deep diving crankbaits for every fish I have actually caught on them. Sold over 300 packs of plastics like 3 years ago and still have another 100+ to get rid of.

Black are the best option as they either break when putting the skirt together of last a few years. Amber will slowly deteriorate and fall apart that you can see. The colored ones I would stay away from as they just randomly break? I made a bunch of skirts using the green pumkin ones. Set them on a shelf in the dining room and a week later they all had broken.
Easiest solution is just use some small zip ties if you are worried about them breaking.

Actually I made 14 spincast molds and have over 30 hand pour molds as well. Making a lot of Ned and tube heads right now. Going to try a weedless jig if my order of Teflon pins ever arrives. If not I guess it will be a spinnerbait mold since I have the 12" discs. Made a bunch of weedless Neds last night just to see if it would work.

Only made about 1500 Ned heads so far. Think 8 is how many I have now? I can't remember because all I think about is how many more I have to make.
