I saw shimanos waxwing and butterfly jigs online and noticed they are a thru-wire design. But not twisted behind the loop on the ends. Would anyone know how they are joining the open ends or if they are just bending them before they pour the jig?

Just got mine tried it on a wood blank to seal . Wow fast put out in sun 55 here today, cured in 4 min!! Alittle overcas but cured fast... cool stuff very little waste and the best part no mixing and spinning!

Welcome Percabrutus now your here your doomed to wander the form looking for answers to the ever increasing amount of questions that will enter your mind about the addiction you've started. Luckily though this place has one of the best brains trust when it comes to knowledge about making lures. Just be careful though as it starts with something as simple as making a few lures of one particular style like sp's and before you know it you'll be venturing into hardbodies, then wire lures, then pouring lead, and before you know it you'll be a full blown tackle junky regards mick

Welcome to TU Percabrutus. Like Mike said, you won't find help with the addiction here, this site is for lost souls. Plastic is the worst of the lure addictions, fortunately, I cannot find plastics where I am, though I probably could get molds cut. This is why I do hard baits. I am sure you will find help with your bubble problems here, there must be a thousand threads addressing bubbles. As for the mold (mould) problem, perhaps you should look into making your own, using plaster of paris (PoP) or RTV (room temperature vulcanization) - molding rubber. I suggest PoP first, to get the hang of the mold making process asPoP is cheap. Dave

I saw these clear LC hb's the other day and thought it might be a tip worth passing on to others. http://www.luckycraft.co.jp/charity/lure.php regards mick
