    Thanks
    bob are these crappie jigs you are doing. If so the other site I go to I tell you about go to the jig tying forum and there is a sticky above in there on the temp and time you want to bake. Some toaster ovens vary in temp so you have to sit and watch the jigs to make sure they are alright especially on white. The crappie and bluegill jigs I tye I like to bake around 350 for about 15 minutes. I forget the name of the toaster oven I have I bought it at kmart for 20.00. Remember if these are 1/80 oz heads you will only heat the whole jig or 1 of 2 sides for about for a total of 6 seconds and this is for 1/64 oz also. 1/16 oz to 1/32 oz you will be around 8 seconds for a total of 2 sides. This is for any out there that likes to tye there own jigs also check the prices of this place and his shipping is fast. With the way gas costs you have to save where you can. www.crazyanglertackle.com if you have something special in mind and he dont have it give him a call and talk to him he can get alot of stuff that isnt on his website. He is also a machinest and I think he cuts custom molds for people sometimes. His name is Robert and a very nice fellow he is.

    I ended up melting the lead off of my crappie slider heads. I was having a very tough time finding black heads and bought the black powder paint. The hooks don't go downt eh center of the lead and it just melted right off very quickly.

    Wish I had a better report as to its effectiveness.
