I really admire you're firm and unwavering safety references.
Thank you and thanks for saying so!
When you were saying the smallest ones are the hardest to pour it reminded me of when I went from casting 45-70 to .357. It was much more difficult for me to get them to fill out. Nice video!

Nice job John and great tutorial you hit all the point's...My buddies and I use to make home made jigs back in high school shop class and paint them...They didn't look the best but they worked great for walleye tipped with a minnow...Safety #1 no doubt...Take care brother...
Heith Gagnon Thanks Gonzo!
jimrivergear Great video I use a Lee electric smelter. What size hooks do you use
5/0 down to 1/0, each jig head size requires a different size hook. Thanks for watching!
Good job but Just an advice Always wear a Mask FFA2P3 when you melt lead and wear Also protective glasses gloves and a protection suit that Is useful to protect you from lead particles.
Thanks for the tip
Great tutorial, very informative. Looking forward to the next one ...!!!
***** Thank you sir, much appreciated!
Very informative. Learned a lot more on how to remove impurities. Thanks
+D Higdon Thanks for the comment and the sub! Good luck building your own gear. Cheers!
hey man I bass fish high school tournaments and I'm running out of jigs and don't have the money anymore for the do it yourself have any ideas on how to do it by hand or by myself with no expense
How about fabricating a jig by epoxying Pennies or washers to a jig hook to create a weighted head? Decorate with yarn, soft plastics whatever you have around. My son is making lures from house hold tea spoons. Simple carved wood lures work to. Thanks for asking.
I tried what is so called "fluxing" and it set the lead and my melting pot on fire. I have no idea why it happened. Any ideas or thoughts on that?
Hi Garrett,
The wax boils from the heat of the lead, sometimes It catches fire and that's normal. If it doesn't catch fire you can use a grill lighter to ignite the smoke so it burns cleaner. Just keep stirring and skimming. Good Luck! Let me know how it turns out. JA
Thanks, very well made and informative!
Muy buen vídeo amigo,...saludos desde Ancon Lima Perú.

Дякую,усё понятно кроме одного :для чего форму свечкой подкоптили(смотрел без звука все равно английский не понимаю)?
Юрий Теремки
Привет друг
Слой углерода от свечного дыма помогает свинцу течь в форму. Это помогает?
@@jimrivergear У Вас свечка,на другом видео(по моему итальянец обьяснял)так там он форму смазывал если не ошибаюсь,графитовой смазкой;я же 7грамовые рыбки отливал без ничего-и нормально.Попробую теперь со свечкой.Спасибо.
Юрий Теремки
Спасибо за обновление
Я должен отметить, что форма должна быть чистой, удалить жир, масло или отпечатки пальцев перед нанесением дыма, углерода, графита. Дайте мне знать, как это работает для вас.
удачи.
@@jimrivergear Я,лично протер спиртом и всё заработало;а вот покраска(готовой головы рыбки с джиг крючком-заготовки под чаттербейт) та ещё история:окунул в емаль алкидную дал стечь и присыпал глитером(блестками).Попробуйте красота как ёлочное украшение аж самому понравилось.А вот рыба как оценит весной посмотрим.
Удачи в весеннем товарище!
Can you use range scrap
John, my main concern with range scrap would be the possibility of undetonated military type projectiles. A live Raufoss, tracer, or armor piercing incendiary projectile landing in your lead pot could and probably would be deadly. That said, conventional led bullet scrap would melt down fine, copper will float to the top. be safe always! JRG
@@jimrivergear yeah that’s not an issue. It’s a police range and I have not had any issues. Berm is well clear of firing line
Is there any way you can send me some unpainted? Also Loved the video
+Zachary Mubarak Hi Zachary! Thanks for the sub! Please contact me through the contact page at www.jimrivergear.com We can figure something out for sure. Regards, John Albert Jim River Gear

Snapping turtle?
Nice video, great info. I just posted a similar 2 part video on how to make Bladed Jigs (w/o using a split ring) check it out if you get the chance.
Great job

battery lead is just fine if you neutralize it with baking soda.
There is much more to it than acid, don't do it is all I can say. The following link explains it.

Snapping turtle?
battery led is free led. hard to clean but will work. just be safe wear gloves face mash breathing mask do it outside. it will work tho
It will work, I do not recommend it. I have always been able to find alternatives. The best use for old batteries is to recycle them into new batteries, IMO.
Nice how too
Where is part 2?
Sorry Dan, still on the card. Life happens....
Thanks for watching!
Totally understand and respect that. When you get a batch of weights, how do you separate the lead from the zinc? I know mixing the 2 is bad.
I sort them visually, that said lead melts at 620F and zinc at 787F so I would think you would have some time to spot "floaters" and skim them off. I will have to throw one in next time just to see.
Hi Jim any idea when part 2 will be posted?
Sorry man, can't say.
Part 2?
+Dwight Gordon Hi Dwight, I had intentions of getting part 2 out right away, well, life happened. I enjoy making the videos and interacting with folks but mass work hours and kids summer schedule take precedence. I WILL get to it, please subscribe if you haven't . Thanks JRG
Completely understand. A family man's gotta have his priorities right. Hope you and those kids enjoyed the summer.
