    Default Non-Lead Barbless Jig Heads?

    Does anyone know where I can get non-lead barbless jig heads? I do a bit of fishing on the Connecticut River that is now a lead free waterway so I need to track down some new heads to tie new jigs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Timmy Tom's makes Tin heads you can buy or you can do what I do with some and buy Tungsten Slotted Beads and slide them over the jig hook or buy barbless fly hooks and use a bead head on them?

    Timmy Tom has a web site, but I don't know if he has barbless hooks??

    I would agree about HawnJigs - excellent clean work with leadfree alloy materials and some unique (custom) head designs. He does make them either with or without collar barbs.

    CH - I've never seen those pages of his website before, there must be 2 versions of it out there..........? Here is the site i have listed for him - Welcome - it shows off more of his jigs and gives pricing and so on.
