Where to you get molds for bucktails up to 12oz. Do-it has the ultra-minnow mold up to 4oz but I haven't found anything larger.

PS - Nice looking work

we had it made custom to our needs ,we told the machinist what size we wanted and he made it ,it wasnt cheap by any means but it will pay for itself in a couple years .

nick I still need to make more ,we go through them .We lost around 10 per trip last year before we went out front then we doubled that number

Sweet momma jomma.  They look great.  Are you sure you have enough for the season?  I guess you never have enough especially if you fish hard like you guys do. 

Nice work.  I am looking into a clear Plastic Dip product for my teasers and streamers.  I don't know if you have tried it but it is a real nice product an number of guys are looking at it for off the jetties where they get banged up pretty good.  It comes in White, Yellow, Blue, Black and Clear.  I think with it thinned down it should be great for the wraps

Happy Catching

I ran out by midseason last year and had to waste time making more when I should have been fishing ,It wont happen again .I also promised some out to people that help me out w/ boat work or just fishing buddies in town ,so I need to do a bunch more.

I never saw that before I have to look into it ,thanks .I use clear nail polish on my wraps it hardens like a rock in one coat .I did some in head cement and didnt like it so I just switched over ,it seems alot better and it is only one dollar at wallmart

I ordered a custom made mold for the spros 6 & 8 ounces from here. I believe it was $145.

That is some great workmanship Catfish.

Thanks Capt Joe.

While we're on the subject, where can i order the jigs to paint and tie myself without doing molds and pouring?

[catfish hunter]

left eye buys them on ebay he even got some w/ swing back hooks last year .it is worth the trouble to make your own if you fish alot or just need a hobby to kill time .

[nukeman]

Eng  Got some made at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260307982212
He will make any size/color/hook type/size you want.  I ordered 2-4 oz white/chartruese with gami 5/0 hooks and it cost about $2 each with shipping. check it out . Not home made but high quality and worth my money.

Nice job on the bucktails,  Its better and more enjoyable to make your own and to catch fish on your own rigs.     you can make them to your liking as well
