Torpedo Jigs

View attachment 1 Awhile back RonDon posted pics of this head and I really liked them so I sent some hooks to him and he poured some for me. Weights on the heads are about 1/4 and 3/8 oz. Here's a few I tied with bunny strips. Thanks Ronnie, I like how they turned out and I know it wasn't easy pouring these. How did you do them ?? View attachment 3View attachment 4

That last one is something else !!Very nice.

Good looking Jigs...

Looks nice . That head makes me think about turning bullet molds into jig molds . Might be cool to do .

Those are nice jigs and that head does look great! Nice work

I was sitting here thinking the same thing. They look like the Civil war Maxi balls. Very nice work on these jigs.

Exceptional tyes – very clean necks – remarkable jigs

X3 gents It does look like a bullet head, but for a pistol. But only he that pours them knows!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Wow those look great Jungle! Those light wire hooks took me a bit to figure out but i got 'em to work. I was sitting there and had some soft plastic trimmings laying next to me. I took a piece of plastic and put it at the bottom of the head where the collar stops. It worked! Never in a million years would i thought it would have held up to those temps! You like the collar on those?

Thanks everyone, they look better in hand,just can't get all the colors to show. I've been doctoring the strips with permanent fluorescent markers,the last one has pink and blue in it but didn't show in the picture. Ronnie, I have some Gamakatzu 111's which is a heavy duty sproat hook in size 3/0. The wire is heavy duty and would probably work well in that mold. I'll have to send you some of those to try. They only fit in two of my molds.

Ronnie, I tied the bunny's with the collar on and they were'nt an issue.I'll save some for when I throw big grubs.

By the way i still have some of you hooks left. I will pour ya more when things slack off.

Very nice-looking jigs!

Those are some BE-U-TI-FULL ties! The green has to be my favorite as for just over-all look but would guess the white/red throat will stack up the fish count.

A+ like always. I can see some zonks in my near future.

I have some strips of bunny but haven't used any yet. Also found a soft tanned rabbit skin going through my box's and don't even remember where I got it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you plan on tying bunny bodies crosscuts make it so much easier. I actually buy more crosscuts because other materials make good tails like saddle and neck hackle,silicone rubber,marabou and probably other things I havn't tried yet.

Amazing how clean those necks are. Almost look machined.
