Spent the afternoon out of the mess in the big shop, cleaning up some bulk lead, getting it in usable form. Cleaned it twice and poured it into 32 ounce muffins. There are 7 lead muffins still cooling in the muffin pan, that aren't pictured. If I calculated correctly, there's enough lead there for 11,500 1/16 ounce and 23,000 1/32 ounce jigs. The way I fish in the trees (skwerl hunt as my fishing buddy calls it) that should get me well past spawning season. LOL

As slow as I am, I'd have to charge about $1 each to break even. I pour my own jigs also, I just got a 1/100 oz mold for some real ultralight fishin. What size hook you using on those? You must have some great way of cleaning lead. Unless I'm watching my P's and Q's I have trouble pouring 1/32's and them filling in properly. Gotta keep the lead clean and the mold hot. I just got started pouring so if you have any tips, I'm all ears.

Fur did you ever tie any buck tail jigs? I think I remember it was you that was looking for some deer hair awhile back. No, I didn't. I should have thought to ask for tails during hunting season. I have some 1/32 heads poured to make squirrel tail jigs with tomorrow afternoon.

If you want some deer tails I've got several you can have. Awesome, thanks! Can you ship them to me or do you want me to pick them up? Obviously I'd pay for shipping if you can ship them.

I dont really care so much how mine look but I want all the lead to be there, that's supposed to be there. I modified my mold so that I could use a #2 hook with the 1/32 jig. The hook takes up so much room, if everything isn't right, there won't be a collar on the jig.
I bet the 1/100's are real fussy.

I smoked the molds the first time I used them but haven't since. Is that something I'm supposed to do every time? Is that only to help them release, or pour better too?
I can't imagine using a #10 hook. The #6 sickles that I'm using on some bream jigs I'm tying seem to tiny.
