We use to make some spinner baits with the Juniors in the Fishing club each Winter, so thy have some when the season opens again. Use to make some very light ala Mepps 1 size. But that size of body is off the market. So i decided to do them by my self. Making the mold is done just as you make a mold fore Lures. I am using a specil metal casting Silicone. It takes up to about 290 C. HAve some that i made in 1985 to do Spoons. Thy stil work a treet after severel hundreds casting.
Here is the result if any chould have interest in it
 
A cople of ouers work included melting the metal, and there is 4x25 peices fore the Juniors to play with

Thanks Chris
I was pleased it worked allright, so we can make the spinners again. The Juniors always have some Put&take trips every year, and Meeps 1 is a very good spinner fore those trips.
i use some metal, that have being used to make letters fore printing Books and newpapers before the electronic age toke over. we call it : Book-printing-metal Who figures Confused
there is 12% tin in it,  but most is Leed. 66% and some we call : antimon. 22% That have the function to make the metal hard/tough
