Since the Herring head hit the stores It was most definitely a mold I wanted. I have done well on jigs with a small blade tipped with a minnow or leech for walleye.
Unfortunately I felt with the barb collar and lead barb that it was taking up to much hook space. I would also prefer to use the sickle or eagle claw hooks.
This is where I would like to thank Tom on answering my questions on how to modify a mold.
Grabbed some jb high heat weld and went to work! The end product came out like I wanted it to but is still "sloppy" so going to attempt to chip away the putty and Start over. For the guys who modify molds to me you guys have a special talent as I feel like i am HORRIBLE at this.
Here what the end product should look like. I used the large wire keeper was able to "use" lead barb spot for the keeper. Unfortunately the hooks are not lined up well in the 3 sizes I tried so that is a other reason I will attempt to start over. I tried a different "method" vs getting the dremel tool out. I think that is why I had such a sloppy poured jig.
Maybe in the end modifying a round head jig to accept a barrel swivel would be easier but have zero faith I can get that to work either.
LOL
