    Things are finally starting to come together with this spincast machine. Done making tube and Ned heads for now at least. Time for some jigs and spinnerbaits!

    Awesome, Allen. Your mold looks good. I bet there’s a learning curve for that, big time.

    The come out so much easier in the spincast mold. No more filing down that huge sprue from the hand pour mold. That being said I have to hand pour like 20 each size to use as masters.

    It is good and bad? When it works you love it as it is easy to make a bunch of perfect heads in little time. Other time you are cussing because instead of one bad pour you have 25 mispours. If someone else makes your molds it is a lot less hassle but a custom mold is like $350. I want to create new things so I decided to get a vulcanizer to make my own molds. Getting better at it but there is a learning curve. If you decide to get a setup I will give you my number to explain some things that will save a lot of time. money and frustration.

    Send me some masters of whatever you need made within reason. I have a guy on Facebook mad at me because I told him I could not spincast 10oz sinkers.

    Twenty blank molds arrived today and there are another 20 on their way.

    The keepers won’t hold in the first two pictures. They are not deep enough into the lead.
