I simply put the lead in the portion of the jig where I want the weight to be concentrated!

With your jigging spoons: can I use Tungsten powder in Alumaclear instead? The fumes from molten lead tends to nauseate me.

Yes you can, but it will no longer be clear. You can also use lead shot in standard alumilite white resin.

I was thinking of trying to make a thinner insert with the tungsten, wrapping it in Flashabou Minnow Body, and then using a slightly larger mold with Alumiclear as the external "shell," sorta like you showed in the DVD.

That will work, as will getting either strip lead or pencil lead like the stuff steelheaders use to make pencil type drift sinkers.
Easy to shape by pounding with a hammer.
good luck,
