BigTimeBuzzer Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 What weight are these? It should be simple enough to figure out something similar or very close to the pic you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTimeBuzzer Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 What size hook do they use? I have a idea that might work for the weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outfshn Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 A little off subject...but anyone know where to get keepers like these? I have seen them on many products but seem to only find the hitchhiker style. These have a different shape to them. Back to the mold question...

jigfisherman Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think you could use a buzzbait mold and take a drimel to it so it would take the hook and the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I agree with Jigfisherman and the buzzbait mold except that you could snap the keeper on after molding. You can also form the conical shaped keeper by hand using .020 to .024 stainless wire and the spiraling threads on the pointed end of a wood screw. Form the snap end of the keeper using round nose pliers. Hold the wire against the screw with pliers (Cutting a groove in the threads to place the wire helps to keep it in place) wrap it counterclockwise and the keeper will become conical shaped as it reaches the point of the screw. Clip off the excess wire with a pair of side cutters and back out the screw and your done. With a little practice, they will look just like the ones in the picture you posted.
