Pop Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does anyone make a fluke bucktail jig called "Silver Bullet"? It consists of a chromed ball-shaped head with a swivel attached to a white bucktail hook with silver mylar trim. Chartreuse bucktail is another popular color. I am trying to find a mold and figure out how to chrome the ball shaped head. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 not an expert in this area, but two things come to mind: You could use a nickel plated brass bead, Hagen's and Worth both carry these to 3/8", plus both offer special production if your looking to manufacture... Also: you could try a modified do-it ball head mold/custom mold by you or made by Del, then immediately powder coat clear after pouring to prevent dulling...

Bass Tracker Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Pop, We use fluke balls up here in the NE a ton. Depending on what size you are making, we have used small cannon ball out rigger weight molds to make them. --BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks Bass Tracker. How do you chrome them? Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Tracker Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 We go to local shops to have them chromed, but to be honest most of the time we zinc them. Its much cheaper and most of the zincing shops are more willing to take smaller jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
