Title: Better tube heads
Post by: 21XDC on September 10, 2016, 01:31:53 PM
I finally made the mold for heavier tube heads... I'm working on making a mold for 1oz, 1 1/2oz and 2oz...  I love the weight showing on the head. These are 4/0 owner hooks.

1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4oz...

I like to have options... LOL... There might not be a gap big enough for 2oz LOL... I'm being asked to make heavier tube heads, So I'm doing it so I'll never be asked this again. LOL

Can't argue with all that, right?

I'm a firm believer in the heavy tubes especially for the larger bulkier baits like the Snack Daddy Elites. Use 1/2 and 3/4 all the time.
