I've been pouring some molds lately, testing out a few & trying to get back into pouring again on a regular basis. I'm also working on getting set up again for powder painting. Here's some of what I've been messing with so far.  :)

Baitfish style swim jig head for plastic baits. Top one has a 5/0 Gamakatsu Heavy Wire hook. Not sure about the brand on the bottom. Matzuo maybe, as the bag of hooks is not labelled.


Larva style panfish jigs. Size 6 kink shank hooks. I'll dress them once I get them painted.


More Panfish jigs, also to be dressed after painting. Same size 6 kinked shank hook.


Shad darts on a gold plated VMC hook. I think this one is 1/16 oz & a size 2 hook.


Round head jigs with a collar for tying or for skirts. These are molded on different hooks. The top one is an Owner, the next 2 are Gamakatsu, and the bottom one is a Mustad Ultra Point. All are size 2. 1/16 oz heads.


Spro style minnow head. Gamakatsu 5/0 Heavy wire hook.


Walleye head with Gamakatsu hook. 1/16 oz.


Popeye style head with barb collar. I molded a few of them on gold plated O'Shaughnessy hooks just checking out the mold. It's an old Herters mold. Also have another Herters in the same style, but without the barb for tying.


I'll post more pics as I get these painted and as I pour other molds.  ;D

It's always fun getting time to pour, need to get motivated this winter. We may have to talk, I'll be looking for some 3/4 ounce swimbait jigs. ;D
