Dropper Jigs & Wire Bending

[TubeDude]

Thanks Pat, that's great stuff, got it all studied out already... I used to cast my own lead bullets for my muzzleloader, but my gear was a little clunky for doing small jigs... You're examples are really good... Hard part would be to find the right shapes... I like your dart head jigs, but I'd also like one that balances the presentation horizontally when fished over head.... Anyway thank you very much... Jeff

Here's a piece on molds and the jigs you can make with them.  The dart head is a pretty good horizontal hold jig head.  But the best are the Ultra Minnow.  The 1/8 oz. on a size 6 hook is money.   Also, I make some "Flat Rinkees" by flattening some of the little crappie tube heads...after relocating the head to the middle for balance.  They are perfect horizontal hold.
