well dad loves to fish for the hickory shad when they run up the rivers in the spring, and rightly so, you can catch them from the bank and stay in one spot and just catch and release with alot of action, but he has found that this flame color on one of my old pinkie heads with the collar is a fish catching machine, more so than a round head or even a shad dart. He uses them with small curly tails and pushes the collar up inside the bait which isn't easy, anyway he catches them when others are not, go figure. so every year I check with him to see how many heads he needs me to make him, he says it is the small bullet nose profile that makes it work because they don't want a largerheadas much. I wear a respirator when using the vinyl, and open the doors of the shop, and the wind comes thru the shop, in the back door and out the front, so it's a good place to do this. I have talked my new crappie fishing buddy into trading me his 1/8 oz. custom mold for a bunch of pinkie jigs, I wanted that mold too because I only had one 1/8 mold till now, there areissues with the mold but nothing I can't work around.
