    I never was one to buy every jig that came out . Used Southern Pro Umbrella tubes in purple/chartreuse over 90% of the time for many years . Since livescope I figured out more about presentation than jigs. Over a year I been tying trash jigs (bare unpainted lead heads with shopping bags tied on). You can search my posts about trash jigs for more than a year . Here is one example .

    Finally down sized and stopped buying unless I run out of a certain jig . I still could get by with 6 jig bodies on a pink head . Tackle bag got to be 25 lbs . or felt like it . Name:  IMG_20250719_122725441.jpg

    Give me an unpainted ball head jig (no sickle hook please) and I'm a fish-catching machine! It always pays to have the right weight paired with the right hook size paired to the lures I'll use. I have jigs sorted and ready to replace ones lost to breakoffs or pickerel.
    Like most of you, I have more jigs than I could ever use in a lifetime. I don't carry more than I need and have a few of each wt./hook size combinations that I'll need for certain lures.

    The only jigs I would buy are certain weights I'm running out of and hard to fine.

    I don’t buy a lot of jig head anymore, only use the ones that work best for me in various weights from 1, 1.5, 2 grams. On the other hand I always buy more plastic in different color or shape.

    I just refill what I’m getting low on each year. Which is usually only 3 or 4 colors. Have about 24 different color grubs but usually use black and chartreuse or monkey milk. Have a box of southern pro and a box of Bobby garland grubs. Then have three boxes of jig heads. One for each weight 1/32 1/16 1/8 with 5 colors of each.
