I went and checked my stash of heads to restock my tackle bag and I had way more done than I remembered!! 107 bags of assorted painted and 30 bags of unpainted. Guess I'm set for a while!!

Don't have a Doll mold but wish I did!! I know a guy who will make a silicone mold of the one head I have but I don't want to take it apart to do it!! The ones in the pic is just ball heads. The one I latched into actually had it in his mouth!! I only wish I did cause he was big and it was...

Like EddieB I have the molds to make both kinds. I've used both fur and plastics when trying for trout, which for me is mostly on a pond and after the rivers got blown out by floods it's really hard to get a blade spinning in ankle deep water.

I have one orginal left! and don't use it. I have some I tied up with polar bear and it dyes up really well. first is Kingfisher blue and the other orange.

I've seen them with ball and minnow head. This is the last original one that I have and it looks more like a wedge head

The molds as far as I know are all hand made

I've been using Fly Dye from Lure Parts online but sadly just learned that they aren't going to carry it anymore!!! I complained loudly!! I'm picking up a few jars of each of the colors they have left. After that It might be back to the Veniards fly dye even though it costs more.

Nice Toad!!

I was lucky enough to receive a single cavity mold of the Redman head from Redear when he pressed them.

Nice ties

Well I finally pulled the plug and put in my Retirement paperwork!!! I retire Officially New Years Eve and my last day is today!!! 40 years of Government service is enough!!

Well looks like no fishing at all this year!! Screwed my back again and in May I tried a trip to my Dads in Western NY for Memorial Day. The morning after I got there I was in the ER and then a week long hospital stay with some kind of bacterial infection in my leg. I haven't even felt like...

I use mostly automotive powder paints and I always thin them with clear, and what I have left of Protech I do the same thing.
