I can see steelhead guys really liking those jigheads for pinkworms and tying up maribou jigs.

I was thinking the exact same thing. And small egg cluster imitations.

I recall seeing pictures of glass spoons  at one time. Can't remember where , though, but they were from way in the past.

Looks good but I'm thinking some cement drop tests on video may be more convincing as to the durability..... But I love the idea

A few more prototypes, one is a solid little plug a sinker and the other is a hollow one with a rattle bead inside, both are fumed with pure silver and have various color patterns, I will be testing them and a few others tomorrow.

How about something for the Salt too?  I'm thinking some herring jigs that won't flake off the color or has lots of sparkle:

And something in a squid head with a groove at the back to hold a hoochie:

The only issue might be getting enough weight in them.  6oz maybe ok, 16oz seems like a lot glass. 

Just a thought...

The small jig heads would be perfect in the bay if someone wants to try them on the second of May for the tournament. I typically use anything from 1/4 -1 ounce jig heads.

Hell I would buy some of these just to hang on my Christmas tree. They would make great gifts for any fisherman.
