Simply gotta love those oldie but goodies. Something about it, nostalgia, recycling, I don't know, just appreciate the history of fishing and the evolution of baits to catching. Keep up the good work and good luck at the dam.

I really like that head shape - a cross between a few other available jig heads out there. Do you have a weight and hook size?

Not on the mold but I plan on putting it on a digital scale to be sure the hook is a 2/0 sea gaurd . The mold was made for a 575 bronze light wire . I think Have to look up Ledhed's post on the old mold books might be in there.

That wide head looks like it'll work like a football. Let us know how it works in the dam rocks.

Why those colors?

I'm curious about the rocks too. I used what I call GHI , Graduated Heat Increments to cure the PP. Should be even thougher but is more time consuming with higher energy usage. I didn't have a drip off a single head. Probably dumb luck tho .
Thanks for the cudo's guys.
