A link to video clip of this one -
Hey fellows, I finally got a chance to try out the Worm Wiggler. The one with concave surface facing forward works very well. It starts wiggling at a slow pace and stays down. The one with convex surface facing forward works as well but it has to be retrieved at a faster pace to start its wiggle and it also wants to climb to the surface when retrieved. I tried to take a video of it at the lake but it didn't show up very well because of the glare so I made a video in the old faithful bath tub. Hope this link works. Click on pic and it should pop up.

Thanks Smalljaw, Havn't had time to try them out yet. I am sure that I will probably work with or change them in some way to get them to wiggle/swim. Will let you know when I find out if they work or not. The first hook in the lead head was easy, just threaded it on. The second hook, I layed it beside the worm where I wanted it to exit. I then snelled it with a very short length of 17lb test Suffix line. I then inserted the point of the second hook in the worm where the first hook exits and worked the second hook through the worm until I got the point down to its exit spot then I put the snelled loop over the point of the first hook and pulled everything tight. I also have a very small threader (similiar to a knitting needle or crochet hook but very tiny in diameter) which I use for adding two or three strands of accent colors to skirts which have already been made up. I was also able to slide this through the center of the worm and pull the snelled hook through the center of the worm. Hope this helps. John -
I agree with Frank, very well done. I like it. John -
Here is a link to it, hope this helps. John http://www.arkiejigs.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AJ&Product_Code=FUH -

Reading this thread got me wanting to take another stab at making another version of the Lazy Ike. My first version was a 3/8 oz silicone round head mold, I was very disapointed in it,it just didn't have the action that I thought it would. As Koop Sugggested, This second attempt was made by modifying a 3/4 ounce Do-It spinnerbait mold to accept the blade. The blade and hook are pinned together with a brass pin before being inserted in the mold.I drilled a 1/8 inch hole in the blade directly in front of the pin so that the molten lead would go through the blade and anchor it securely inside the head. (I don't think it will come apart)The hooks are spinnerbait hooks, front hook is a 5/0 rear is a 3/0. I poured three of them this morning. One with a concave facing blade and one with a convex facing blade. Also one with a painted blade. Can't wait to get them in the water to see how or if they will wiggle, waggle, rock and roll!

Sexy Shad 4/0 VMC Blk Spinnerbait Hook .032 Super Stainless Wire 4½ Worth Blade Worth Swivel -
Don't know how old these things are, it was given to me by a friend John -

Saffie, I finally found it hope this helps you. The blade does look like an Indianna blade, but it is still cupped and not flattened. It also looks like the blade and hook may have a pin running through them not sure about that it could be marks from the machining of the mold. Hope this picture helps you in some way.

Me Three. Bad little feller it is. My type/style of bait. John -
It looks good, will check out the forum. John -
Great idea. I Like it. John

NOt sure, but I think I have one of these still in the package. A friend gave it to me a few years ago to try and duplicate. I was semi-successful but not really happy with the results. So I put it away for a rainy day. Havn't thought about it since. I will try to find it and post a pic in the gallery. John

Awesome, very realistic. I bet it gets slammed. John -
modified mold for making the Pivot Point Foot Ball Rig
-
Here is a pic of the modified mold. Its pretty messy with a lot of dremmeling and JB Weld but it works. As I said it will not make jigs anymore. Oops, upload failed, will load it to the gallery. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/7446-pic-of-modified-mold/

Although it is a little blurry, this one gives a little bettershot of the plastic insertied in the cavity of the jig head. Sorry about the picture quality. John -
Sorry, it took me a couple of days to get around to posting the pic. I put it in the gallery tonight along with a couple of other things that I have made. Maybe it gives you some ideas. I will take a pic of the modified mold and get it posted soon. Hope it helps you out in some way. John http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/7437-some-things-i-make/

I have been making this worm rig for a couple of years, it works well with a floating worm. Doesn't matter how it lands the hook pivots 360º and a Hi Floater will stand it up. The peanut head doesn't need a weed guard as the plastic trailer does the job instead, It also collapses when bitten and does not interfere with the hook set. The modified brush jig is my newest idea, poured my first ones today. Took me quite a while to figure out how to pour these with the cavity to protect the plastic from being dragged down the hook shank, Hope it works, will give it a workout next week when I am on vacation. Will add a wire keeper or corkscrew to the hook shank if it doesn't. Hope you like them. John
