That's it!!! Those are the ones. A little spendy but they are so easy to install and super tough. Thanks for link! Now I don't have to milk these LOL!!

I got some weedgaurds once from skirts plus or something and they had a fused base. I still have a few. The website has changed its name now but I can't remember what it is. They sell Boss jigs now or something. These were the best weedgaurds I have ever used. Super high quality, no strings, no weedgaurds falling apart. I try to find a link but it's been a LONG time lol!!

Mark PM sent.

I would go this route, http://do-itmolds.co...ory&path=1_8_28 Use the 3434 mold,it takes the same hooks as the ball jig you were looking at so no change there, it has the double keeper, and if you don't wan the weed guard no problem just trim the pin so it sits flush and pour away as many as you like without modding the mold and getting all the features you want.

You can get them from Barlows tackle. Here is a Mustad equivalent, but you can get the do-it ones from here also. http://www.barlowstackle.com/Mustad-Wacky-Jig-Hook-P2130.aspx

WOW, those are killer.

http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/19295-ultra-vibe-blades/ here is another thread. might give you answers. Basically, they are just not around anymore.

Maybe some wire mesh or chicken wire, were u can just snip off some of the squares an lay it on the top rack of your toaster. I think someone might have a better description or a pic or something. I think Vodkaman did something like this once.

I also use a two part epoxy. Its easy and dries clear.

Pick up a used toaster oven at a swap meet or yard sale for 1$. Can't do better than that.

Ooops I just noticed u wanted a 1/8th and not a 1/4th lol. Well u get the pic. Do-it does have a screw lock round ball no collar shakey head mold but not in a production modle.

http://do-itmolds.co...ry&path=1_7_212 One like this looks promising. Use this one : PRO-104 SERIES - PRO-104 RHSBARB 1/4 You should be able to fit a 4/0 Gammy 604 or Mustad equivalent without much trouble. http://do-itmolds.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_7_213 This one has a different keeper but you can fit a much larger hook on the 1/4oz model without mods. PRO-106 SERIES - PRO-106 JRS R&B 1/4

You can use a Do-It production mold with the barb collar and a heavy hook. They used to make one that would use the EC 635 2/0 hook witch is basically the same size as a Gammy 604 4/0 hook. These were made with straight eyes, so if you want a flat eye model you will just have to modify it. Not sure if they offer these anymore in their catalog. These molds can be found on eBay every now and then. I think the heavy hook models start with JRS then a 6 for the number of cavities and finally a 14 for 1/4oz size. Not totally sure, i bet Cadman will chime in. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Yes, Cadman you're a stand up guy and will do business with you whenever possible. I have recently purchased Cadmans nylon pins and i have to say they are the cats meow to those of us who pour lead. Don't anyone be caught without them, you wont regret it.

This is a light wire 60deg hook. Seems to very uncommon. You will have to use a 90deg Aberdeen style hook and bend the shank. The new Gammy 114 looks like a good candidate, or just the normal 604. The Gammy 614 has the 60deg bend but with a flat eye. This would require a mold mod. Either way it doesnt look too hard but i don't see a direct replacement.

LPO rocks!!!! I use them regularly.

That is truly amazing, and to have all the ribs line up and do it all free hand. Absolutely amazing, and THEN to repeat THAT SAME THING 4 more times. WOW i'm speechless.

Steve, I think this would be a much better option as a Spot remover atlernate. http://do-itmolds.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_7_265 This one has a screw lock and has a flat deck, but the bottom is also round. Its the Tip up jig mold. This one uses the Gamy 604 hook which is a killer hook. Its does have (what i would consider) some pretty small size hooks, but the mods to accept a 5/0 long shank 604 are very minimal. Give it a look you might like it. You can even buy a few from some ebay sellers just to try out and if you like them then just buy the mold and make them yourself.

I do have a valve on already, its one of those brass ones. It seems to control the air flow pretty well. I will try to stir it up after i start it, see if that helps.

Yes, i know another fluid bed question. LOL Ok i have been having trouble fluidizing the HF powder paints, mostly use the flat black, any suggestions? I have a homemade FB with a duel line pump (plenty of pressure), i have used coffee filters, brown bag any some other media with no success. It's a 2" diameter cup 3" long and i put about 2-3 Oz of powder in it. I have tried putting the cup in very lightly and then gradually seating deeper and still no help. I get the big volcano's and the powder does not bubble well. I have ordered some cups with the porous Poly sheet in them. I will also try to make a bigger 3" fluid bed, maybe i have too much air flow, but i do have a brass flow valve to control the air flow. Or is everyone having trouble with the HF powders? I have tried the protec ones and its a little better but not much. Thanks for the advice.

I think i saw this same one sell on ebay. I was thinking of buying glad i saw it here first.

Great read. Lots of cool info here. I might have to get some of those pins from u Cadman.

Wow amazing work. Did u add the eye sockets? i don't see any of the jig heads with eye sockets in them.
