With the minimum list of tools, Materials & Equipment; Lure Makers can produce thousands of these mini lures & jigs from one single cavity mold. PVA is a material that will not hold screw eyes or cast-in eyelets. PVA requires a cast-in, wire, line & hookset harness. Fig. 1, 2, 3, & 4. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>The wire harness also serves to hold the cast-on ballast. Fig. 4. demonstrates a 1/8th Oz slip sinker as ballast. This design requires a simple mold tool to hold the slip sinker in place during PVA injection. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>The ballast & wire harness in exploded view (Fig. 8) demonstrates a ballast configuration designed specifically to make these mini lures very heavy. A seperate mold for casting the ballast onto the wire harness is required. However; expensive machine tooling an aluminum mold is not necessary. This ballast is not made of lead. It is made of a cold-cast material combination of Tungeston Heavy Powder with a fast setting, polyester resin binder. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>This mini version of the TFI lipless crank bait has a very powerful tail beating action, and can be converted to a jointed swimmer by adding soft plastic trailers such a eels or worm tails, etc. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>Fig. 3 & 9. demonstrate a hide-a-way hook that is fitted into the lure body. The hook holding cavity, in the tail of the lure body is created with a simple mold tool during PVA material injection. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>Fig. 6 & 7. Are jig type designs that use a common pre-fab Tube Bait, weighted hook. A soft PVA lure body takes the place of a slip-on tube bait. </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1>   </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV> </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV> </DIV> </TD> <TD WIDTH=50% VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <FONT style='font-size:12pt;'><B> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <FONT style='font-size:12pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="98%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=50% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <MAP NAME=ma000003 > <AREA COORDS=2,2,245,79 HREF="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm" ALT="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm" TITLE="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm"> </MAP> <IMG SRC="subj10crappie_i000024.jpg" BORDER=0 ALIGN=MIDDLE USEMAP=#ma000003 WIDTH=248 HEIGHT=79 > </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <FONT style='font-size:12pt;'><B>SPIN CASTING for Lure Making </B></FONT></DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s18 style='text-align: center;'> <MAP NAME=ma000004 > <AREA COORDS=3,2,453,346 HREF="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm" ALT="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm" TITLE="http://thelmdfg.com/tekcast/index.htm"> </MAP> <IMG SRC="subj10crappie_i000025.jpg" BORDER=0 ALIGN=MIDDLE USEMAP=#ma000004 WIDTH=460 HEIGHT=357 > </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="98%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=50% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'>   </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <IMG SRC="subj10crappie_i000023.jpg" BORDER=0 ALIGN=MIDDLE WIDTH=472 HEIGHT=581 > </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1>   </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV> </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s0>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s0>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s0>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s18 style='text-align: center;'>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s18 style='text-align: center;'>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s18 style='text-align: center;'>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s18 style='text-align: center;'>  </DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s6> <B></B><TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1>   </DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></DIV>  </DIV> <SCRIPT language=javascript>  </SCRIPT>
