I was in the tackle shop today and Mr Bundy picked up a jighead mould and said 'cool' B)

I said 'put it down ,it'll be too bloody dear'

We both nearly fell over when he flipped it to reveal a 90-odd $$$$$$ tag on it :o

Poly, I have a suggestion for you ,
If you have a ball sinker mould try putting long shank hooks in the mould where the Spokes would normally go and just use it as if you were making ball sinkers,
The ball sinker will be on the hook and the eye still exposed, once you have perfected it you can try different types of hooks.

Poly Poly Poly,

were you in batemans bay shop looking for them last friday???

thought i saw a parrot in there!

no mate that was jumpy in drag i didn't get there till saturday

when you put your bog , the timing of putting the jig head is importent ,to quick and it sinks.
to slow and the bog has started to harden. i like to put a bit more hardener in soyour not waiting to long.
when bog goes in I put the mould on a flat surface and shacke it from side to side and like a vibraiting motion or quick tapping on bench this makes the bog settle in all corners and allows air bubbles to come up.

before you place in jig spray it with WD or any other lubricant, it makes it easy to get out when set other wise it will be stuck.

when doing second pour againg lubricte jig head and the face of the hard bog surface this allows you to pull it apart.

hope you can read the davinci drawings any Q. ask Doctor phill

thanks steve i get what u are trying to say and will give it a go

Plaster of paris is ok for making moulds with, and fibreglas release agent is excellent for a lubricant so you can get the jig out of the mould.

B4 you ninny's attempting to make these molds decide to give it your 1st lead pour.

Do a few pours with no hook im the mould 1st this will allow the mould to heat up mahing it easier for lead to flow in so ewe dont end up wirh 1/2 pours.

This information was brought to ewes by the only one or one of very piips on this site who actually goes fishing

Settle Down

Rightio,i'll do a report on my ' not on the computer fushing soon!!!!!
