Fireman ... Forget the "big stores" ... you've got a local that will custom make you any kind of jig you'd want, and he lives in Vicco, KY. His screen name is Grousefly ... aka Paul Mullins - P&S Custom Tackle.

You can contact him by :

Personally, I use a #2 Aberdeen on 1/32 & 1/16oz jigheads, and would use the same on a 1/24oz. I mostly use unpainted heads, but Grousefly will paint them pretty much any way you want them. He's my main go to man for custom jigs. And he gives discounts to Crappie.com members for orders of 100 or more. You might even run into some of his stuff at various swap meets around the central KY area.

One other KY member makes painted jigheads ... Slabeye (aka Rodney Goforth) from around the Green River area ... but I don't think he makes any 1/24oz. He's also getting into making some pretty nice looking plastics, too !!
