going in a different direction...
I'm kind of getting burnt out turning wood. So I decided to spend some time trying to learn how to make tins. I've got way to much time into these, but I did manage to get exactly what I wanted.
The spoons on the left are 3.5 oz for a dying tide in the canal.
The middle spoons are 2.5 and for the beach.
The 2 piece tins are 3 oz, the fron half is 1 3/4 and the back half is 1 and 1/4. The action on the fixed hook is suprising subtle, I think it will be good for getting down in mild current.
The 3 tiny ones are like 1/2 an oz and 3/4 of an oz, I was thinking I could maybe use them when peanuts are around or as a teaser. I also tried hooking them up to the back 1/2 of the 2 piece ones and they had a nice wobble and were right around 2 oz.
The ones on the upper right are 2 5/8. I wanted something a tiny bit lighter than a 4h hopkins that was heavier in the rear and would be easy to bring up to the surface for albies or blues...

Figured I'd give you another minute to realize you forgot the pics. Looking good Dave.

Nice job - what did you make your molds out of? do you use anything to hold the glossy finish? That 2 piece jobb looks really interesting.  |

That is some fascinating stuff you're doing there. I'm still using thos jigs that you traded me, absolutely love them. Your new pours are amazing.
