I use it a lot on my 1/8 PT and my tube heads. I put duct tape across the wg slot and let it hold the wire in place.
-
I use pieces of copper from romex 12 ga. for the smaller holes.
-
Dremel tool
-
I use my shop vice instead of a hammer. Tape the nail in place. Close the vice on the mold then tighten it to make the depression.
-
Jacob's stinger mold is good enough.
-
Mine came from Barlows. After 10 years or so I dulled them and bought another pair. Like smalljaw I kept the old pair to use in places that might dull the new ones. I've had the new ones for over 5 years and they are still quite sharp.

Very good video smalljaw. That beats the heck out of how I have been doing it for the last 20 years.

The Ned has been producing for me lately. However, the lake has a lot of algae on it and the only jig head that is going thorough it is my 1/8 Poison Tail. Everything else is getting lots of algae. I can't fish tubes or swing jigs because of all of it getting on the heads.

Get in touch with Cadman. He is the multi color jig guru around here.
-
UM Mike I can't see any pic.
-
Like I stated earlier, I use them but I don't know about the burn thing as I normally heat in 30-45 second bursts.
-
I use ice cream sticks. A couple of bucks buys several years worth.
-
I don't put my divided cup in the microwave. I warm it up on a griddle while I melt the 2 colors in my nor por cups. I pour them into the divided cup then use it on my molds.
-
I never have used that product. When I pour lams I do the bottom in a good (warm) mold. I have the other color ready and as soon as possible I pour the top. I have never had them separate.
-
I'd buy the liner. Mine wore out from many many years of use. I bought a new plunger and a new liner at least 10 years ago. The old pot is still going strong.
-
Ben I haven't fished them much but did buy one of the molds. I have googled it and found a few articles and one video by KVD. It sounds like you can fish it like a crankbait or jig.
-
Pour a few runs without hooks like Bob said. Make sure your lead is the soft type and hot. If that doesn't work then you may need a mold release spray.
-
Painter where in MO are you? Do you have the PT molds?
-
I use 90# coated wire from Cabela's.
-
You've been given some real good advice from 3 guys who know what they are doing. My pot gets rusty between uses in the unheated garage unless I keep it at least 2/3 full of lead. When that happens I get your symptoms even with good lead.

I just paid the $ and got 1000.
-
I use double sided tape and a baking pan.
-
That is correct. I squeeze the cup and hold it several inches above the mold so that my stream is smaller than a tooth pick.
-
I use scent in the mold much of the time and then I add scent to bags before putting the baits in them. At the very least it greases them up and makes them go into the bags easier.
