Xmas in May
 
Got home today to a box on the doorstep - my order of softbaits and hootchies arrived... I'll use the hootchies up at Shasta Lake for the brown trout and kokanee, but the PaddlerZ and StreakZ will be awesome in the bay and kelp. Also got 3 different colors of CrawdadZ for the Large Mouth Bass.

Of course I needed to pin them all on something, so this evening I got the lead pot and Poison Tail mould out and cast 45 weedless lead heads to put them on. Here's what $50 in softbaits looks like...

Very nice. I need to invest in some lead mold and a pot. It's the only thing we are missing in our shop.

These are the two moulds I have.

The Poison Tail drops 1/2 , 3/4 and 1 ounce weedless heads using 3/0 , 4/0 and 5/0 hooks.

The Erie Jig drops 1/8 , 1/4 , 3/8 , 1/2 , 5/8 and 3/4 heads using #2 , #1 , 1/0 , 2/0 , 3/0 & 4/0 hooks.

Between the two I can cover just about everything I might want to throw.
Coming from the bullet casting world, and owning dozens of custom moulds, these Do-It moulds are absolute crap, but they get the job done well enough.

Did you order right from ZMAN?

Baja_Traveler 05-25-2013 05:33 AM

The best deal is through Tackle Warehouse, both on price, and if you order $50 or more its free next day shipping.

On Edit - 4" PaddlerZ came through for one - many more to come I'm sure...
