If you look at the image carefully the sinker say 4 ounces, but it's upside down. I also made a couple 5 ounce models. By using sliding sinkers the jig will sink even faster than torpedos.
keep up the good work bro!
making your own lures not only saves you $ in the long run, but it's also a great way to learn how and why a certain lure works to triggering a reactionary bite...
heres what i made during my lunch break with a 6 oz sinker, bass skirts, trailers, and good 'ol nail polish.
i also forgot to add that...
by learning how to work with the raw materials that you have, you can make yourself new lures or good imitations when the real thing is in short supply...
I found these Flashminnow 110 in Ghost Minnow pattern for $9.99!!! With a few quick touches of paint, i turned them into the popular metallic sardine--i've found that the glittery finish on the imitation hand painted sardine actually works really well in attracting fish on those sunny days...but the picture doesn't do the lure justice at all! I need to get a new camera
You took hooks out of the places that were getting bit the most?i also forgot to add that...

nope, i took those pictures as i was getting ready to work on them. i just removed them to do some touch-up work on the heavily used lures that get scratched up from the treble hooks moving around and from damages caused by impact from sand, rocks and toothy fish. Re-touching lures really add life to them, expecially with the prices these things are going for! I learned a valuable lesson a few months ago--no matter how careful you are, you're bound to hook yourself if the hooks are not removed or covered up prior to working on the lures...
