Jig Heads for Bucktails

finsup21 · 01-17-2007, 01:27 PM

Does anyone know a good source for bucktail jig heads. The only ones I can find in the usual places are bulletheads and balls. I'm looking for some variety like Smiling Bills, bananas and maybe even a Spro imitation.

Did you try terminal tackle I thought I saw a ton when I looked at their catalog I may be mistaken???? Also consider pouring them yourself if your looking for a lot of them.

There's a guy in Jersey that makes them. Anything you could want.
His name is Don Vance;
email loretvance@prodiigy.net
He's a real nice guy as well. Tell him that Bill Charleston told you about him.

Let me tell you jig heads are no fun to make, maybe the first 100 are, but then its not so much fun after that. IF you can find a local guy to pour them for you , thats always best. Buy the molds yourself & you can usually work a pretty good deal too, perhaps even sharing the mold with someone else. A do-it mold is a great investment and can be used for many years if properly taken care of.

What size jig heads are you looking for specifically ?

Thanks for the help. Looking for anything between 3/4 and 2 oz Tinman. And yeah, pouring them doesn't really interest me, I probably would end up like Johnny Tremain.
