Making use of "fouled" hooks spin style

View attachment 1Since it seems to do nothing but rain in Joplin, MO. I had free time to tinker again in the shop. Had been saving my "fouled hooks" and decided to put them to use. These are the result of eye post being too long to fit mold. I cut the eye off with enough room to still sit straight in the mold. Then I trimmed a spinner form to fit inside sprue hole of mold. Finished product here, but takes some tweaking!

Like the ingenuity... Is the wire form connected to the hook?

The wire form is molded into the head at the top of the hook but not connected to hook.

Lookin' good! You should apply for a patent on that!

Very interesting!! I believe anyone that has fished for a few years may have a few of those laying around not in use.

I really like those but do you forsee any problems with with the wire pulling out because it's not connected to the hook???
