fishindayz Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hello to all! I was given a jighead that the only way I'm going to get more is to make it myself, so here I am. The guy who gave it to me, gets from a guy, who gets it from a guy. I was told it comes from a maker in Alabama. I was given four, 3 new and 1 used. I melted down the used one, so I could see the hook design. I believe it is bent by hand. I've started to try and locate a similar hook(size), not easy. It's .044 dia., and approx. 61 mm long. That is as far as I've gotten. I'm not sure how to go about having a mold made for the jig, or how to even pour a lead head. How does one bend a hook? As you can see, I have alot of learning to do. I will be reading alot of previous post. Comments and suggestions are welcome. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 It would be best if you could post a picture? Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Definitely a pic is going to be a must here. First of all it may be cheaper to buy these if you can, instead of investing in a custom mold, paint, pouring pot and so on. On the other hand this may be a std item. That's why pics will help everyone here, to give you their feedback. Edited August 23, 2008 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
