Swimbait - A-Rig jig mold
« on: 04/17/13 05:34 UTC »
What about a Style 9 Shad Head jig with a 30 deg hook like the Mustad 32886, eye of hook at the nose and on top to help keep it weedless with the option to add a wire or plastic weed guard.

Not a bad idea, what sizes would you consider to be optimal?

1/4 with 4/0 hook, 3/8 w/4/0 or 5/0, 1/2 oz with 5/0 or 6/0 to start with. Longer, heavier gauge, bigger hooks to accommodate the long body swinbait body's.

1/8 oz. with 4/0 hook would be good also one of the most popular swimbait heads in the group that buy from me is the "J Will Swimbait Head"
a mold to make something similar would be great

1/8 oz. - 3/4 oz.
4/0 and 5/0 hooks seem to be the ticket

Look at the new shad head with wire keeper mold, this is a great head design by itself or on the A-rig.
