[cool]I've had a couple of questions on the difference in the styles of Roadrunner heads...with or without a barb. I've also been asked if they come in larger sizes. I am attaching a couple of pics at the bottom to show the differences in styles between the ones you use for plastics (with a barb) and the ones you use to tie jigs and baitbugs.
One of the other things you will notice is the differences in hook sizes and styles...on the same weight heads. That is one of the big advantages of making your own, is to be able to make something with lighter heads and larger hooks...or vice versa...for specialized kinds of fishing.
I can pour Roadrunners up to 3/8 oz...with 5/0 hooks. I can make them as small as 1/32 oz....with size 8 hooks. I have two jig molds...one for each style...with and without a barbed shaft. Each mold has several cavities for the graduated sizes.
