ravenlures Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 One thing I found out is plastic and humidity do not mix, since I do mixing in the basement I do it in the winter months when the humidity is down to under 40%. One other thing don't use paper cups they hold water, makes a big mess of the plastic, the first time I did it in the summer it shot out of the mold about 15 times it size.

Painter1 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just curious, what is benefit of plastic over 3/16 lead-head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I made these jigs, since I live on the Menminee River in Northstern Wisconsin I made them really just for river fishing they don't get hung up on rocks very easy and they get unsnagged easer because they are lighter and bigger. Since I live on the river I made them for my self I have sold some and they seem to work well. Since this river the Menominee River is just loaded with smallmouth, if you can't catch a bass on this river than take up golfing.

Brent R Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I bought a jig years ago at the Super Dome in New Oleans at a tackle show that was called the Slow Fall.. I fished it on and off for some time. I never even got a hit on it...so it ended up in file 13. The only thing it ever done for me was slow fall and it done that real well...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
