I wrote this article several years ago after learning how to make a custom mold from my friend Troy Jens. The baits do require a little bit of a clean up at the seams but a dremel tool does a great job in cleaning it up. This idea also works for jigs as well. I just made a chomper jig mold that turned out really great. The bait in the pictures is of a little big man spinneribait ie hidden weight type. If any of you have done this before with bondo or any other formula that dries quicker than Water putty I'd like to hear how it turned out. Seems like bondo dries quicker and harder and I was just curious if it could handle the heat of molten lead?? http://www.wmi.org/sql_messages_html/onfly_file/doc.asp?num=28316&ini=d:%5Casp_ini%5Cfishing_tactics_3way.ini&no_nav= Triton Mike

Jim, I won't hold it against you that you know Bassreeper ~ LOL. Thanks for the advice I was going to ask another question but Dave pretty much covered it . I got a design up my sleeve that I want to try out and you guys pretty much nailed it. I'm going to Bass Pro here in a second and see if I can find any leader material in the saltwater section rather than order it from Janns, Stamina etc. Thanks guys and preciate the welcome You guys got a great board here!!!

I am looking to add a weedgaurd to a ball head jig and wanted to know if anyone knows where I can get some thin wire to mold them into heads with my Do It mold?? I am thinking guitar strings but I haven't priced guitar strings so I don't know how expensive they are?? Any other ideas?? Triton Mike bucca1@aol.com
