Bernie, I concur that overheating the lead was likely my problem. However the crumbling problem went away when I mixed lead pipe in with the melted tire weights. So this raises another question. Could the melting/boiling point of tire weights be different that that if lead? The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding that lead for the most part will tarnish once exposed to air , It make me wonder if a percentage of Nickle Allow was added to the mix that prevented these heads from becoming tarnished over these many years? I know when ever I spoke to Mr, K in regards as to why some of his spoon jigs shined better then lead heads he poured . Tin also could give it a shine as well I suppose , but it comes to a matter of how the final product will weigh. Nickles melting point is much higher then tin or lead as you know. Depending upon how much Nickle /Nickle alloy added to the mix, could account for different weights out of the same mold is possible? What I find interesting is that I am pretty sure that the same mold was used and i have three different weights 1 ounce 1.1 ounces and 1.3 ounces plus the heads are bright and shiny . Do you think that using Nickle in the original pour could account for these differences some 60 years later on the shine , not so much on the weight other then different amounts of nickle was used in multiple pours.

They tear the plastic the least when you put them on the hook. I superglue the Sluggos on the shank and they're good to go. I used to shave down the collar and barb on jigheads before I started using these. Edited March 30, 2020 by zak-striper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
