Jig Making Demo at Lake Blackshear Slabfest

[RagflyJigMan]

Hello all Crappie.com members. I will be giving a jig making demonstration at the Lake Blackshear slabfest. If you would like to learn how to make your own jigs please come on out and I will be glad to show you how. This is definately not a sales pitch because all I want to do is help my fellow crappie fisherman. I will be giving the demonstration probably late Friday evening. I will be tieing and pouring the bodies. In other words I will be doing the whole thing on making jigs. Its not hard and it is easy to get into and I know you will enjoy it. See ya at the Slabfest.

I know you can get some from just about any plumbing supply house in 5lb increments. Crappie day gets it from some place really cheep.

Hey ya'll. I used to pour my own heads but it is alot of hassle and you don't save that much money when you pour your own. I buy my heads already painted with the eyes dotted. The company I buy them from uses the powder coating method which helps because you don't find many eyelets that have paint in them. I buy my heads 1000 at a time.

Any way would you pour and paint and then dotr the eyes for $85.00?

[FalconSmitty]

can you mix colors or is it 1000 the same color?

[RagflyJigMan]

Yes I can mix colors. I placed an order about a week ago for 1600 head and I am getting 4 different colors. My supplier charges me $85.00 per 1000 with a minimum order of $100. I can tell you that this company that I order from is a great company. They stand behind their products. They are strictly a wholesale company. When I get these heads in I will let you know. It is the busiest time of the year for these people and that is why it is taking so long to get this order.
