rr316 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Use harder lead, and let it cood longer in the mold, also make sure you are not grabbing the jig out og the mold by the hook, this will loosen it up. If all else fails powder paint it and make sure the weedguard is where you want it before baking this will seal the lead to the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Joe, If you want a permanent fix, you will have to silver solder a piece of bent wire on your hook shank, and then pour your lead. This will guarantee it will never spin. It is tedious to do but without crimped hooks, I've seen this many times on lead poured on straight shank hooks.
