Thought I'd share this, haven't made them myself but they look decent and they work, although a little fiddly to make.

Good stuff mate, I'm going to try them myself. Where do you get the polymer clay from ?

 

[Joe-m]

Ordered it on eBay cast well on a light rod thought they might be good for bass in shallow water save my good plugs made a few colours I put the eyes in before I heated the clay only heated them for a couple of minutes

Good luck nice to catch fish on gear you make yourself always made my spinners jiggers weights lead heads me and my son were catching big cod on leadheads and braid in the boat 20 yrs ago alot were still using 1.5 lb of lead

 

[Joe-m]

Here's a lead head made from a 2 oz sinker mould the cod didn't even know they were hooked the jighead is just a 8 mm drill into a alloy sinker mould and flattened in the vice
