My first tin jigs....
OK, I took a couple of my favorites and made them better!! A few different sizes of megabait and a maria jigs as a baseline, made some minor mods to all of them, then made up mold then poured them in pure tin...check them out. Still have some rough edges to work out and I need to get a jewelry buffer to really polish them but IMO these will kick some butt and there is no paint to wear off. (hooks are the new vmc gladitor 6x in red, and some 777SS stainless steel trebles that I have had from years past.
I hope to hand out a few at the fall get together.

Nice, they look shiny enough for me. Are they flat on the other side or did you use a full mold?

 utin: full mold, recessed, glued 3d eyes, and a secret sause! wow, you guys ask too many quesions.
I wanted a jig without paint that has similar but better properties. I have not fished these yet so the jury is still out. |

Mr. Sandman,
What did you do to make them better than the originals? Are those stick on eyes with glue? Is there a recess/bump up in your mold for the place to stick the eye.
They look sweet  and will stay shiny pulling them thru the sand. |
