I am looking for some ball bearing swivels and some are for sale on this site. They are #2 and #3. Which size would be the best for tandem spinnerbaits. My brain is on vacation and I feel that they may be too small but can't really decide. So Cadman or smalljaw I know you guys will have the answer if some of the others don't. Thanks in advance.

I have a guy who helps me pour and that has really speeded up things and made the job easier.
-
My large swing jig mold only goes to 1 1/4. You could get one of them and drill out the cavities to make them the way you want.
-
I have tube molds and don't use salt when I pour. Some of mine float and some don't. I have no idea why. I use Calhoun's medium plastisol.
-
I use JB weld. I fill the cavity then start drilling and pouring until I get what I want. If I go too deep, I put JB back in the cavity and start drilling again. I have one mold that has poured several thousand heads and the JB is still holding on.
-
I've mixed corn starch with silicone to make molds.
-
When I use thread I use Danvil Flat Waxed because anything else I'll break (but braid and wire mostly on larger jigs, spinner baits, buzz baits).
-
As usual concise explanation with a very good looking product. Thanks Frank.
-
There is supposed to be one that can. I don't remember what it is called.
-
I pour my soft sticks and my open molds. I inject my tubes, paca craws, night crawlers, and crappie baits. Pouring requires less cash layout.
-
I've never had anything but a mess trying to melt down plastics that are full of salt.

I don't know just what you are looking for but Curt Snow has a bunch of stuff listed in the for sale section of this site. I bought his 1/2 oz heads.

Purity Of Lead From Muzzle Loader Bullets And Shot?
Jig Man replied to patrick reif's topic in Wire Baits
I'd melt a little of that shot and see if it is soft. It may be shot with antimony in it. -
I ordered hooks from the Captain back in January. They were back ordered. Over the last 7 months they have come dribbling in. The last ones came this week.

Welcome aboard. Great folks on this site. Man you are way too organized.
-
My experience with hardner is a LITTLE GOES A LONG WAYS. It is very easy to get them too hard.
-
I use Calhoun medium for everything. I have hardner and softner if I need it but rarely use it. I have the Bear's tube molds. I don't use any salt in my baits.
-
All of them that I have used stink. The fish don't seem to mind though.
-
Don't expect to pour in one spot and have the plastisol run the full length of the mold. Learn to pour a small stream and pour the length of the mold.
-
I don't think that there would be enough movement to have any effect on the line. I may give that a try unless it shortens the wire more than I want.
-
Try pouring slower and fill all the cavatives to the point of running over. You may also need to fashion some spru extenders. I use copper pipe joints.
-
Do you have any trouble with the wire snagging your line? No matter what I did they kept getting together. That is why I switched to braid on the R loop.
-
Me too.

Side Injection Vs Top (Single Port) Injection
Jig Man replied to goldenshinner's topic in Soft Plastics
I've never been able to get good laminates with my side injection molds.
