Just painted these 1/4oz. tube insert heads I found today at Walmart ...so I said what the heck...I inverted a drill bit with the flat end down and pulled the drill handle down to press in a eye socket..Going to use these for some of the silicone tab jigs also...

Great idea Len. Did you wrap tape around the drill bit before you put it in the chuck? Like to try that on a dart head.

No tape... just put the bit in the chuck and pulled handle down to make the socket..

Great-looking jig heads Len. I like your long-shanked, light-wire hooks. Perfect for my style of fishing. :cool:

Len nice heads. To bad that your press doesn't have a stop. That would make the job so much easier. Put them back in the mold, mark where you want the socket to be pressed, press the socket , flip the mold over and do the other side. Bingo job done.

The char/green head looks like it would be a real winner. Nice job on the paint.
