Some of that pouring can be a bloody pain in the tail . If the sprue is thick and the features fine . It can make for nasty words.

Looking good! I sure do like the pouring, trimming and filing better than ordering jigheads. It seems like mine are better than the ordered ones. Lol

Oh yeah there's been more than a few cuss words when trimming sprues. I've always told my wife I'm gonna get one of those Rapala filet knife gloves and then I won't get stabbed so much LOL

Sweet looking jigheads. I try to pour a couple 100 at a time and I have enjoyed it also but wouldn't want to pour all the time on a dead line!!

And crawfish are 2.89 boiled, 1.99 live. Give it a week unless you have the funds. OR we could break out the pirogue and spring for the nets together.
