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.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

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.

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.

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 use soft lead, not tire weights and it has to be hot to pour the tiny jigs.

I also use drop out which is a casting release spray.

I really don't care too much how mine look as they are not for sale.

A little thick green pumpkin dip paint makes them all look good.

There's a lead flux on Barlow's Tackle that helps to clean up lead too. It's not cheap though.

Forgot... I wear googles over reading glasses. One pop in an eye with hot lead and you're in real big trouble.

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.

#10 hooks for 1/100 oz jigs. I even use sickle hooks that small.

Smoke the mold and melt a little wax in lead helps with pouring.

The drop out does basically the same thing as to smoke the mold, only better i think.

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.
