Turn a shape(Like Kevins Or a heavy Pt.Jude for the ditch) out of wood on the lathe.Include the collar.
Cut a small slit on the top for a standard Long shank Jig Hook.The one with the 90 degree bend, bondo it in place.Drill the blow hole.Make ur mold use the tail end of the drill bit u used for the hole.Coat it with oil grease or any lube to pull it out.U can use a bolt for this also an just turn it out.
I started messing around with an eelskin jig late last spring, but the first one came out about 1/2 an ounce heavier than I wanted and I never got back to it. I basically did something very similar to what you'd said. Its fun messing around with this stuff, you start wondering how many guys have had the same ideas and done this already...
