Skimpy Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Lol thanks for watching. Yeah I'm very fortunate to know somebody who has a couple ponds in his back yard. They might be small "10-15 acre ponds" but they have some pigs in them. Hard to tell, but it's actually 2 different ponds we were fishing. They are right next to each other and only have to drag the boat a very short distance !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Great vid, as always. Awesome fishing! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Great video and as far as the hook goes, that is why we pour our own, to please only ourself And have a bait our way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I dislike that style of hook a lot... You miss too many bites and loose fish., I noticed you bend the hook open a lot... That helps, But the round bend trumps in my opinion. Good video... 8^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimpy Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've made them in straight hooks and that 60* wide gap. I get a way better hook up ratio with the 60* so I started making all of my arkies with the 60*. Now with a football or a brush jig I hardly use the 60*. Great video and as far as the hook goes, that is why we pour our own, to please only ourself And have a bait our way Exactly !!! Thanks for watching Great vid, as always. Awesome fishing!

mythos Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Some toads in that pond. Btw, did you bend out those hook for better hook up ratios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimpy Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Some toads in that pond. Btw, did you bend out those hook for better hook up ratios? No I bought them that way. I really like the 60* hook with the Arkie. I know a few people that would rather have straight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cope102 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Question I make football head jigs all the time basically all the same process. when you pull out of the mold, what are you using to cut the excess lead off and keep the jig head smooth? I've been using some big size wire cutters but, i continue to have a little lead nipple and i want to try to get it smooth and rounded out. Any suggestions or advice? thanks! and nice jigs! and sweet video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EironBreaker Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) You need a good pair of gate shears. You can get a cheaper pair in the Wal Mart craft section but they wear out quickly and they don't hold an edge on the blades very well so you won't get a perfectly smooth cut. Bass Pro or Cabelas has a better brand. The ones I get have orange handles and they last a long time. I forget what brand they are, I support the local tackle shop when I need a pair and give him my $15 about once a year for new ones.
