you might also give though to using a football jig mold.  The lead is mainly under the shank.  You could snipe off abit at each end of the ball & glue or epoxy eyes on.  Try doll eye the way the shiver drives the fish nuts!  The way the jig is weighted, it will shimmy & dance as it merrily dances down till      (CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMP) big ole eye, smallie or pike :)   Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: mike kelly To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 6:31 PM Subject: RE: [VFB] Deep Seaking Flies ???     you can go to this site and order blank or different site jig mold i have one that goes to 1/32or1/64th to 1/8th, and they have the     jig hooks  to     there are 6 diffierent sizes or you can get in one mold the blank ones you could make what ever you want. the site is [do-itmolds.com] you try them and see i have about a dozen molds it's not to easy to find lead, they might even have that to i'll look,mike 8 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [VFB] Deep Seaking Flies ???   Dan Gober <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wear a crash helmet and duck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Desert Eagle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 10:46 PM Subject: [VFB] Deep Seaking Flies ??? > In looking at various patterns for weighted flies I see a lot of Bar-Bell > eyed recipes.
