Awesome, thank you. Never thought of doing it that way, always thought of the do-it molds but yours is easier, no melted lead, and if I want I can use a can of spray paint to paint them too.
Mustad 32833NP for the win. I have a lot of confidence in them. There's nothing worse than a hook straightening out on you. Thanks tons for the tutorial!
Have made 20-30 this way. Instead of super glue I grab the eye with a forceps. Heat the head over a candle for about 10 seconds and dip it into powder coat paint. Shake off excess. Normally there is enough heat in the head to leave a nice perfectly painted head. Ohh and you can mix and make your own colors also. I combined a silver, a chrome and a green to get a very minnow looking head. Once cooled add feathers, bucktail and maybe some flash chenille and you have yourself a winner!
You know, if you use smooth pliers without grip-teeth, you'll have smooth flat sides on the leads to add eyeball stickers, it's what I do. I do this with a standard metal C-clamp though and I've never had to use crazy glue. And I also do this with bullet split-shot + 60° jig hooks to make baitfish-shaped jigheads on the cheap; screw in some tiny eye-bolts from the hardware store with some swivels & blades attached and you'll have really super mega cheap underspins!!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to try with a smooth pliers next time and stick some eyes on them, sound like it could be awesome! The underspins are a great idea too!
The next best improvement after doing all the above said great ideas are done is you get paint powers dips that you heat up the lead jig with a lighter dip in the container ,it fuses to the jig head with a hard coating In any color you want including UV enhancement or glow fluro ....
Edward Püzlemann most tackle shops carry the big ones, fishing buddy, regal, pioneer etc. Its the mid sized ones like size 3 that are hard to find for me.
Usually smaller are from 2" to 3" (5-7.5 cm) like twin tail grub, and the max sizes are 4" to 4.5" (12cm) hard to find hooks like that in SG except from amazon (your advice) but small sizes cannot be shipped (or switch to Owner brand or Gamakatsu( more expensive). I found some split shot lead ( 4gr (few) & 8gr) in a city center store but not so easy to find a store able to sell split shot like 10 or 15 gr Mustad Size 1; 1/0; 2/0; 4/0 are ok ? or I also need a smaller size like 2 or 3 (owner)? thank you
+Laurent M i would go with size 4 or 6 for the twin tail grubs and possibly 1/0 or 2/0 for the larger 4-4.5" baits. You could go with 3/0 even but the hooks may be so thick that you'd have to set the hook really hard to dig it in. Size 4 and 6 should ship to Singapore, i know 8 and 10 are hard to find for international shipping.
do u mind selling me some of the 90° hooks. of all the size from size 2/0 to the smallest... like 10 or 20 pcs each... Been looking all around tackle shops and kinda difficult to find it.... thanks Brian BCSG.

Powder painting them is easy to if you want different color lead heads.
i have seen some older folks do this but not the plastic addition for soft plastics. they have done it mainly to tie hair jigs. neat!
Loved the tutorial, was the first video I found when I was thinking of making my own. Thanks and keep up the helpful tips.

So how many jigs can you get out of that tube of glue?
Do you think the mastad hooks strong enough for coho salmon?
An ingenious and innovative method. I love it! Thank you so much brother. Where did you get your plastic beads?
Most of the local tackle shops carry them, if you are local, Joe tackle, Sabre tackle, Pioneer, Regal, Sincere all carry them
watchman316ly wahmot dude. Wahmot has all sizes an shapes an colors in the crafts isle
It is a very good method but I cannot find 10 grams of weight. where do you get it?
Can you use tungsten split shots

Hey bro, Can share where did u buy e 9.5g split shot pls?
What size bead you use for the size 2 hook
this will save a lot of money
Thank you BCSG.
Where do you buy that type of splitshot?
Where do you find that big split shots?
Edward Püzlemann most tackle shops carry the big ones, fishing buddy, regal, pioneer etc. Its the mid sized ones like size 3 that are hard to find for me.
What size bead 3mm
HI Mr BCSG and thanks for sharing the tips. which sizes do you recommend for Mustad ultra point hook ( or gamakatsu) ?
It really depends on the size of the soft plastic you are using, do you have any in mind?
Usually smaller are from 2" to 3" (5-7.5 cm) like twin tail grub, and the max sizes are 4" to 4.5" (12cm)
hard to find hooks like that in SG except from amazon (your advice) but small sizes cannot be shipped (or switch to Owner brand or Gamakatsu( more expensive). I found some split shot lead ( 4gr (few) & 8gr) in a city center store but not so easy to find a store able to sell split shot like 10 or 15 gr
Mustad Size 1; 1/0; 2/0; 4/0 are ok ? or I also need a smaller size like 2 or 3 (owner)?
thank you
+Laurent M i would go with size 4 or 6 for the twin tail grubs and possibly 1/0 or 2/0 for the larger 4-4.5" baits.

Size 4 and 6 should ship to Singapore, i know 8 and 10 are hard to find for international shipping.
thank you Brian ;)
They sell jighead molds online. You melt your own lead and pour into the mold with whatever hooks you want.
do u mind selling me some of the 90° hooks. of all the size from size 2/0 to the smallest... like 10 or 20 pcs each...
Been looking all around tackle shops and kinda difficult to find it....
thanks Brian BCSG.
thank you
Is there any local tackle shop that carries those 90 degree bend hook?
I believe kaiser may have some Gama ones
Amazon and eBay also have them in 2x and stronger
What’s the bead for?? Glow in the dark??
ch44yuan nah it is to hold the soft plastic on the jighead, but if u use transparent soft plastics it could be useful for glow in the dark
What is the difference between 2 and 2/0
The size of the hooks go in this way
From the smaller ones to the big ones
10-8-6-4-2-1-1/0-2/0
Who ever thought of that?
that super glue will stink dont even think the fish will eat it
