Thread: New Material

Beautiful jig. Beautiful color and material but rather large for my use. Where did you get the nickel jigs from? I'd like some 1/16 oz or 1/24 oz sickle hook.

Pretty shade of blue

Thank guys!

I have some that I bought years ago in several sizes, 1/64 minnow head, 1/32 Ball, 1/16 Ball, 1/16 minnow head and 1/8 Ball. I have the same sizes in Gold plated heads too, but I use them sparingly even though I have a good many.

Oh almost forgot I also have some Roadrunner heads plated in Nickel and some in Gold. Also some Pony heads with sickle hooks in them plated. I did have a few Black Nickel plated, but I didn't care for the needing to polish them up some so didn't get more of them.

I think most came from Crazy Angler when he was doing that a lot and I am not sure he has any now days. They are hard to find, but I do think Barlow's Tackle has some, know they use to.

Interesting.

Blinding the crappie first!

I bought some gold plated ball heads recently with our gander mountain store closing at a ok I guess deal. Still sort of expensive. They need a good shiny gold or nickel fingernail polish.....lol

I will try to remember a method I found to make a decent Gold head. When I got the ones I have I was getting him to let me send some of my Roadrunner heads to get plated at a good price. So I also bought a bunch from him of the ones he was getting plated. That was a long time ago and I just hold on to them.

One thing for sure Candy colors look best over Gold Plates heads and that is why I got them originally, lol!

That would be awesome if you have a easy way to do gold heads. I just use fingernail polish but I’m limited on certain colors.
