Looking for a jig.

Featured Replies

I started painting and tying my own jigs and am having a hard time finding one that I like along with a hook a like.  I'm partial to Gammy's and Owners so that's what i'm looking for hook wise.  I've looked at a dozen websites for DIY jigs.  It seems the majority of them are Mustad hooks.  

So here is what i'm looking for :

Football heads and arkie heads

Owner or gammy round bend hook

3/8 - 1+ oz

Unpainted

No Skirt

Anybody have any companies that they know of who have jigs that meet these specs.  I've thought about pouring my own, but I don't see too much of a cost savings yet.  Thanks guys.

No, but Micro Munch Tackle has the jig you are trying to build:

Maybe you should send Craig "Earthworm" DeFronzo an e-mail and he might point you in the right direction.

Branuss, here is a pretty good company if you are still doing DIY jigs.  The have the football style with the Gammy hooks, but the Arkie style have the Mustads.  Call the and ask them if they can make some Arkies with the Gammys, I'm sure they will.

Id sugest pouring your own ( Im about to do this being im a mechanic and have lead wheel weights out the .... DOORS ) anyways it would be a nice tougch to know you caught that bass on your own made jig.

Thanks for the info guys.

Btech - I've really considered pouring my own, but I don't see any real savinging yet.  I guess if my search comes up empty I've always got that option.  Right now I can make jigs for ~$1.40 by buying heads already poured.  That includes jig heads, paint, skirts, epoxy, etc.  It would probably cost more if I poured my own.

Jimzee - That company looks promising, i'm going to give them an email... thanks man.
