Neat bullet weight

[mike rousseau]

Hey gang

 

Going through my grandpas old tackle box I found around 20 of these bullet weights

 

Looks like a way more cost effective version of the screw in weights

 

Anyone ever use these

 

Can you still get em?

we use to put spinnerbait skirts on them to make a more versatile Texas rig bait sinker

Looking at the pic, it looks like a stone material, or is it lead ? Looks like something that could make a come back.

 

Cool pass down.

Almost looks like a collared bullet head jig, that some one forgot to put the hook in the mold on.

That's what I thought

 

Instead of a hook just a shaft straight through to make a hole for the line

 

I was surprised how well it pops in the plastic

no it was meant for a skirt, thats how they were sold

Yup

 

Looks like a nicer version of grandpa's

[Terry]

yeah i had the exact same ones as you grandfather in 5 different sizes

you would change the skirt to match the worm you were using

they did work but you had to peg them with a toothpick or they would slide up the line and the fish would bite them rather then the hook

Its called a slip jig,do-it still makes a mold for it model # slip-6-a has 6 cavity's 1/8-3/16-1/4-3/8-1/2-9/16 sells for $51.95 depending on where you get it.

Punch Skirt used a lot in Florida.

 

Tooth picks are old school, most use bobber stops now.
