New Slab Spoons

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]I have been making and using (successfully) lead jigging spoons for both open water and icefishing. I recently got a bigger mold, to make larger lures. I have two sizes on the new mold...1.5 oz. and 2 oz.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I just finished painting up some of my first productions. I think they will work well for macks, stripers and larger fish at Strawberry. I know they will also work well in salt water. I used to use some like this that a buddy made for me when I lived in California.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can finish these off with trebles or single hooks. If you are creative, you can dress up the hooks with feathers, hair or synthetic stuff, like Flashabou. The final enticement is adding a strip of cut bait to the hooks. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]These are designed for vertical jigging, but can also be trolled or casted and retrieved. If you want to add some action, you can easily bend the soft lead bodies into different shapes, to create wiggle, wobble or spin.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Some of these have prism tape. Others have glitter. Still others have glitter enhancement over a paint base. I plan to do some more colors and to make some glow in the dark models...using both the green and the blue glow powder I have. I'll also be doing some in hot pink glitter and chartreuse glitter. Those colors work well in the smaller sizes, so they should work okay on larger ones too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Man, you sure go through a lot of lead quick when you are pouring 2 oz. jigs. Takes a lot more paint and glitter too.[/#0000ff]
