Is there a way to make something like this? I really like this idea but I think the price is way to high, $5 for a two pack. I know there has to be a way to make this for way less. Any ideas?

there are several of the board sponsors that sell them. i have a local guy that use to be a sponsor here make mine he charges $1.25 ea which i think is fair http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Something like these? I like these better as you dont tie to the weight... Works great.

yes those look great do they have the same action as the Hardhead's and is there a way to make the weights with 2 eyelets. Almost a 90 degree bend in them?
You tie to the split ring and I think it has better action than the biffle head...
This will do what you want... http://do-itmolds.com/shop/ind..._9_50

what mold are you using to do yours. I want a football head like you have but with 2 eyes. I like what you did and would give it a try.
I modified a football jighead mold... I dont see why you want two eyelets.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif
just like the biffle hardhead, one eyelet for the line to tie to and one where the hook is. But if there isn't a mold like that then I would like to do what you did.
These Whopper Baits floating boxing craws are amazing on this rig... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
How did you mod your mold?
Drill press. RTV high heat silicone
This is what I use to make mine I powder paint them and put the split ring and hook on and its ready to go.

My take on these if the link works http://www.Flickr.com/photos/6...70901
This is a head I built a mold for and wanted to try some eyes. I also use my favorite creature hooks.

mike i dont see how those will impart the action of a (biffle head)
with the 90 degree ties the biffle head works the lure up and down and the creature will swim in 4 directions
When you tie to the split ring, Both the hook and the weight are free to move independently.Also falls strait down as the weight hangs strait down and pulls without a pendulum effect.
Works great. Plus you can change the weight size, hook sizes and styles. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif Unlike the biffle head. I also like how my weight tucks under the bait when pulling/dragging looking more like the action of a live craw tail and provides the bait with more lift. Nothing wrong with the biffle head.... Also nothing wrong with making something good even better to my preference. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
BTW... The weight "clicks" on the hook when dragged on the bottom.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

any luck with finding a mold yet?
what sponsors are selling these or something similar? Looked and couldn't locate anything in the sponsor section.
the jeka style rig will outdo the biffle hardhead hands down it keeps the weight below the bait and it comes thru rocks so much better. I modified a football shakey head mold to make hardheads but I dont see the purpose after using the jeka method look up jeka rig on youtube it will enlighten you

Tim - You showed me before and that is what I am going to tryout when we go.

thanks for the jeka, jika post. Found it on youtube even with wrong spelling. Made some up tonight. Had some cranks I needed to swap out the round split rings on the eye to the ovals and was able to use those old split rings.
