Pour some lead!!

Just wondering if anyone else pours their own jig heads? I was wondering what type of lead u guys use and how u paint the heads.

Also what type of jig heads do u pour, shakey heads, swim bait jig heads, arkey style, football heads?

What hooks do u use and just basicaly share info.


I'm looking into getting a few new molds so maybe some one has one to check out.

I pour 1 oz. bullet heads i dont have anything small but i was going to go to hilt mold and get some different molds there about 40 bucks

I use Do-It molds. Get them cheap off eBay.

Basser,

I use those exact jigheads (both molds), so I'd buy from you if the price was right.

Don't forget the slip shot, torpedo and banker weights you make. They git 'er done too!

Me too.

Yeah, I've been buying a bunch of them lately. Time to start making my own. I m already stocking up on hooks.

Here are a couple i was going to get and i think the price is cheaper than the other one on the net and if you pick them up you save on shipping

yeah i saw those, but i need ones that will take bigger hooks.

You lucky dog you!

I would only like to add one thing for my jigheads and that is they would have to be shiny, eyes, I don't care about, but shiny lead, is a must.

local tire shop is a great source!
that is where we get ours

there are a ton of tire shops around me maybe i will hit them up for some lead great ideal there SHB

Come to think about it my spyder jig was real balanced lol
(get it tire shop lead use for balancing lol)

E-Bay is also a good source for good lead. I had a friend that bought lead from an e-bay seller and the guy packed 20 lbs. of lead in a Priority Mail envelope so the shipping cost was under $4.

Hey Ed ill go in on some lead with u if u find a suplier( aka tire shop). Less than a dollar a pound is ok, .50$ or so is good.
