[cool][#0000ff]I modify several of my jig molds to accept a short length of wire, for making spinner jigs. The one in the pic was a "minnow head" mold. These heads have the plastic holding barb on the back side of the hook and are designed for fishing small plastic tubes. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Of course you can use them for fishing twisters and other plastics too. I like them for their already somewhat flattened shape. They "track" well when retrieved.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When I make my spinner jigs on these heads I usually use my gate shears to trim off the plastic barbs so that I can wrap some kind of "dressing" on the hooks. But, I also leave the barbs on some and fish them with either tubes or twisters. That can be a great lure.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Attached are pics of the step by step making of spinner jigs, starting with the minnow head mold.[/#0000ff]
