Here's some I was working on today. This mold came out a lot better than the other one, and picked up all the details. When I made the first one it was with the bondo in the red can. I did some searches on the internet and on a hobby site they were talking about getting better molds by mixing the bondo in the red can with the bondo fiberglass resin. It makes a thinner mix and was supposed to be better at picking up details. So I tried that on this mold, which was made from one of my beat up 4 oz cripped herrings.
This mold came out much better then the one I used yesterday. For the hooks on these I used some of my big 8/0 jig hooks and used a dremel to cut off the eye of the hook so it would fit inside the mold.
The top one is the original. On my scale, which I don't trust, the original is 3 3/8. The next two I made from lead, and the scale says they are 3 3/4.
The bottom 2 are from tin, and the scale says the are 2 1/2 oz, but I think they are closer to 3.
