I've been doing some panfishing lately and have been pouring & painting some jigs for it. These are a basic 1/32 oz. round head with a barb molded on the Eagle Claw Lil Nasty Sickle type of hook in size 4. Hot pink & yellow chartreuse.

Have also been pouring some Ned Rig Jigs in various sizes on light wire Gamakatsu 2/0 hooks. I'll be painting them in a few colors, black, greenpumpkin, and watermelon mostly.

Thank you! They're from a Do It mold. They're made for a wire insert for the plastic keeper, and I'm using the larger size keeper. Those made for this mold get loose easily, so I use the longer & larger inserts & bend them to fit. So far that's worked very well.  :)

You can see the difference in the photo. The lighter jigs in the upper center have the "proper" sized inserts, which as you can see are a smaller hook.
