    Nice job. What weight are you using and hook size?

    Nice work, I would also be interested in size and weight.

    I’d take a guess at 1/16 and a size 4 hook.

    Too bad you can’t find someone to pour those for you, might save some $’s. wink

    I found that all depends on how heavy they are. When I make my crappie candy jigs I find it cheaper to buy the 1/80 oz jigs.

    The heads look like Do-It Mold’s TearDrop head that uses the keeper wire instead of a cast barb. The wire may or may not be in there given the very narrow waist where the material is tied on.

    Nice, clean jigs regardless.

    1/16 and 1/8 is normally what I make.
