Nice!
Those are great looking tins and if you're on MV the small ones will be great for the funny fish. Did you make the mold yourself? Either way really nice...mm

[QUOTE=mag minnow;699070]...the small ones will be great for the funny fish.../QUOTE]

I made a few of the small ones late last season and they worked well along east beach for albies. That is what got me looking into making my own. I wanted a little minnow mold to pour tin minnows for albies and bones.
The mid size ones I have been using mainly for bluefish this summer and they have been chowing on them. I did pick up a few bass as a daytime by-catch though. The really big one I plan to use off the boat with a vertical jigging setup. They look great in the water.

Whoa...the Tide clock says it is just about right...have to run.

Beautiful job. What did you use to glue the eyes in and is it holding on the tin? Wired thru or using stubby loops? I can see that in 4 to 5 ounces for the ditch!!
