I recently subscribed. I’ve been making sinkers for years. Your videos have made me start to delve back into it again. Love the swing tails and how u make them into chatter baits! Keep up the great work my friend!!
Thank you for putting up these videos, because of you, i am now looking into the world of making my own jigs and chatterbaits. Thank You very much brotha!!!!!!!...keep up the great videos...glad i subscribed to you
You may try using UV resin instead of 5 minute apoxy for the eyes. It's much less tedious and you don't have to worry about the epoxy setting up on you if you run a large batch. We use it for tying flies.
Thinking I can use my ultra minnow mold and put some through wire in and then make closed loops to get same effect.....always tinkering. GO HAWKS! Also, have you tried Arsenal Drop Out yet? No more smoking molds!
So if you fishing jerk baits in salt can you add a screw lock or something to help keep the bait on the hook? I do d with these work hooks you need something to keep the bait on the hook
Enjoy your videos esp those relating to jig & chatter bait construction. It looks like the poison tail swing jig insert positions the hook farther back than it needs to be, thus making the bait longer than desirable.. The Zman Freedom Chatterbait actually positions the hook eye into the back of the head, which seems to work well. Have you fished the poison tail swing bladed set up enough to get a feel for it? Can you tell me the brand/model of the heat gun you are using? I like it’s wide stable base. Regards, stay well!
Man I really appreciate you making these videos. I’ve learned a lot. Can you tell me what kind of lead you use for the football swing heads? I hear if you use a soft lead it will pull the hardware out easy.
you all probably dont care but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Bodie Hayden i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey dude, I have been searching and searching on the internet trying to find some heavy duty black fiber weed guard and can't seem to come up with any. I had some located a while back, but now that I really need it i can not seem to remember where the hell it was. Hilts used to carry what I use but of coarse now they are history. I am looking for heavier than FG 12. Any ideas? Thanks
there are videos here on you tube on how to make a fluid bed with plumbing supplies and an air pump for a fish tank way cheaper then buying one from the online retailers i have built a couple of them for about 40 bucks total tightlines skimpy
That Guy Skimpy true I did see that and forgot about not being able to have weed guard. I wish poison tail had sizes like swingtail. They want you to buy 2 different sizes.
Well I must say wow I need a few of those in my arsenal! Question I know you stated that it takes a lot of pressure to pull the part you clip to add a blade! But how about the section the hook attaches onto? Since that section is simply just pinched closed with pliers. When you have a good size bass on possibly on cover and such! Does that joint that's pinched holding the hook hold up great? And secondly do you sell these? And if so do you have a website or anything? These are some of the coolest swing style jigs I've seen. All my local shops just sell the basic football or round ball style swing jigs! Very nice though bro new to the channel so apologize for all the questions..
Where do you get your lead from? I checked the Do-It website, and their cost is $25 for only 10lbs. That seems a little steep to me. Do you "make your own" lead (i.e. re-melts from wheel weights, bullets, etc.) or do you buy the ingots?
First thing you should do is thoroughly clean your new molds with brake clean. I have barely seen any lead casters in the fishing community mention this, and they often complain about the molds. If you really want to know more about mold maintenance, watch some bullet casters talking about it
We want to see what you’re doing, so please hold what you’re showing very still for a few seconds in front of the camera. Holding something in front of the camera as a flash or shaking just leaves a person disappointed and apathetic. Great information and great minds!
I recently subscribed. I’ve been making sinkers for years. Your videos have made me start to delve back into it again. Love the swing tails and how u make them into chatter baits! Keep up the great work my friend!!
I appreciate you watching !!!!!!!
Great how to video...I think a small spot weld on that wire where the hook is would be a great add to insure it stays and is not bent out.
Not a bad idea. Thanks
Thank you for putting up these videos, because of you, i am now looking into the world of making my own jigs and chatterbaits. Thank You very much brotha!!!!!!!...keep up the great videos...glad i subscribed to you

Fluid bed makes paint go much farther and you won't have to worry about eye blockage. Nice video, i would like to have your molds on the wall.

Yeah I will have to try that out. Thank you!!!!!!
Great video
Thanks for watching brother
Make a video on how you do worm weights.. like to see the process of how you do the powder paint on them
I dont have a worm weight mold yet. But when I do I will def be making a video ! Thanks for watching
Do you ever use straight shank hooks for an open hook option?
What size of eyes do you use?
another great bait and video!
thanks !
That Guy Skimpy nice job skimpy the chatter blade work pretty good on poison tail
Thinking I can use my ultra minnow mold and put some through wire in and then make closed loops to get same effect.....always tinkering. GO HAWKS! Also, have you tried Arsenal Drop Out yet? No more smoking molds!
That sounds pretty cool. Let me know how it works out bro. No sorry i didnt get any yet
Go Hawks !!!
So if you fishing jerk baits in salt can you add a screw lock or something to help keep the bait on the hook? I do d with these work hooks you need something to keep the bait on the hook
Hey man love the videos can you make a buzz bait with that mold thanks
I think if you mod the mold you might be able too ????
I'm going to have to try it would like to make buzz baits and spinnerbaits with it
I've had my eye on this mold for a while. Skimpy, do these jigs work for light pitching too or are they really only great as a swim jig?
Haven't really pitched them but I don't see why not. But they are AWESOME for swimming for sure
What type of fan do you use for ventilation?
aaron salmon I have a big box fan that is always on and try to always have the door open
Do you do tungsten weight or just lead.
Just lead. To do tungsten you need special equipment. Way higher melting temp

Can you tell me the brand/model of the heat gun you are using? I like it’s wide stable base. Regards, stay well!
I've fished them alot and dont mind how long the hook is. Can actually use different hooks but I like them like this.
I got the heat gun at harbor Freight.
awesome vid, whered you get your chatterbait blades at?
casey watts don't remember. Either barlows tackle or fishingskirts.com
Hey amigo what mold should i use to make a bucktail jig with a strong hook for peacock bass 3/8 to 1/2 ounce

Get'n Bit did you check fishingskirts.com it Barlows ? I know fishingskirts has heavy ones
Why no fluid bed ? I think it uses a lot less paint and is easier. Just wondering why you don't have one.
Jacob Berkshire I know it. I will be getting one here soon
The fluid bed cups form,TJ's Tackle work,awesome.
Jacob Berkshire awesome thanks. I'll take a look
there are videos here on you tube on how to make a fluid bed with plumbing supplies and an air pump for a fish tank way cheaper then buying one from the online retailers i have built a couple of them for about 40 bucks total tightlines skimpy
John Bogaczyk yeah I've seen some. I will have one alone or later. Thanks !!!!
Bro would like to try one of them chatter baits I’ll pay shipping👍🏽🤔
I don't deal with Barlows because they just sell generic junk and FishingSkirts, well it's pretty hard to tell what they refer to as "Heavy"
Get'n Bit gotcha. I've bought the medium and the heavy from fishingskirts. I usually use the medium the most. But on the flipping jigs the heavier
Im looking for ol school rubber skirts any ideas 11/2”to2”long any ideas

Can this mold take a 30 degree hook? Or could it be modified to accept it?
Matt Dillon kind of. Some hooks with bigger eyes make it or shut all the way but can dremel if needed
That Guy Skimpy okay so I wouldn't need a poison tail and swing tail. this would work for both especially since it has small and large weight.
Matt Dillon lol basically lol. But if you want weedeless you would

Berto3511 I was given a whole bunch of lead from a buddy. I have a bunch of 20+ pound bricks. Will def last me awhile
Hey Skimpy , what size eye 👁 fits in that jig?
alex turner for thhe most part size 2.5 (4mm) works
I love uv glue
Thoughts on modifying this into a spinnerbait mold?
Skirt collar looks like it may be too small for a spinnerbait hook?
Ive already made some spinnerbaits with this mold !!!!! didnt have to mod
Awesome. Did you have a video on it? I looked but didn’t see one.
Not sure. but I guess I should make one !
No worries. Was just curious. I like the looks of the head but the skirt collar looked like it may be a little small.
You dont understand , i need the kina skirts thats on the ol h&h spinner baits im talkn old ol school

Where is a weed guard?
If its a swingtail theres no weedguard. The swingtail isn't weedless. The weedless version is called the poisontail.
@@ThatGuySkimpy Love your videos,I’m hooked on this stuff now...One questing first you,do you put the Teflon plug into the jig while baking it?
@@ronniemartin8391 i put in the Teflon pin when I paint them then I usually take them out when baking
@@ThatGuySkimpy I see you make chatterbaits out if that poison swung tail!!!
@@ThatGuySkimpy Any tips on getting too much paint on a football jig,do you use a fluid bed?
Man I messed up yesterday I did not wear gloves I am going to die now if not I will wear some next time for sure 🙄
