we might hook up around the muglins phil give me a bell when your thinking about it :wink: I might try a bit of powder at some stage, the thing is the heads cool down very quickly,so i imagine they would have to be heated up again to coat them. Im going to cork in a couple of weeks,you can pm me the lures your were catching on if you like :wink:

nice wan john,pretty sweet led heads man,have been making pirks and grippers and deadweights for years,but have never seen such a smooth homemade mould.
its always so much better when you land a nice fish on something you made yourself from the leader knot right down to the weight.
excellent.
planning a `lock in` in my shed now too... :D

Now u do have me thinking, lets see what is in the garage.
I must admit well worth the effort, regarding the painting I reckon if fishing at depth a luminous head might just make a difference
