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. | ||
