lead tape

I have been trying to get away from using lead.
But I haven't succeeded 100%
I (still) make lead jig heads with wire and super glue.
I use jig hooks I get from Minnesota, and then wrap
the front of the hook with lead wire until the wire
lump has the shape of a round or semi-round jig head.
Then I soak it with super glue and there it is.

Pacific salmon, and probably Atlantic+Great Lakes salmon go BONKERS for
a slowly twitched jig with marabou or rabbit tied on it. Last
September I had many good days catching 5lb pink salmon on jigs in
black, purple, pink, white, or olive. Olive is my secret salmon jig
color, and I'm only telling you guys because you live in the Northeast.
I put pink, red, or gold flashabou on all of them as well. Sorry to
change the topic, but all this jig talk made me miss salmon fishing a
bit.

Thanks fellows - I want to make them up using a Blonde pattern with a
weighted fly for Barramundi.
I suppose a bull shaped mold of say a once might just do the job.
