    Default jig heads


    I've been tying some 1/16 and 1/32 jigs from jig heads I had in random boxes. For you guys who do not pour your own, where do you get your jig heads? Looking for some with collar and some without collar. I like the look of the sickle hook.

    Seen a few on ebay, not sure if pricing is right or not. Thought I'd check with the experts here first

    Several guys on here have them, I know BoBo has some and usually I get mine from Grousefly on here. Also Crazy Angler has some I believe. Feel sure some others will post a reply to your thread!

    Although I pour my own, occasionally I want something I cannot cast (no mold) I'll trade some other casters first choice, If I cannot find a trade I'll go ebay,
    Otherwise, there are several vendors
    Crazy Angler, Grandpa Bobs, TCI Fishing Lures, FishHunter775 tackle.

    around $15/100 including shipping is about right for the sizes you are looking for. BOLO for off brand hooks. you may find them cheaper but they break rather than bend or are dull and difficult to sharpen. A decent vendor will name the hook being used. Eagle Claw, Mustad, Matzuo (Sickle Hook), Owner, Gamatsu (pricey). Sometimes it requires a bit of planning on your end. Grandpa Bobs has probably the best prices and worst shipping around. If you do not mind waiting and doing a bunch of follow up, is a great source. If you are impatient, you will be better served by the other vendors.

    Thanks guys, I may try to PM some of the members that you've mentioned and see what they can do. When I do order, I want some to tie jigs with, and also want some with collars for plastics. Got a few places where shooting docks tends to get the skunk out of the boat.

    Get with Bobo greybeard on here my opinion he has the best hooks. Can make you just about anything you want. Sickle hook is the way to go. DO NOT BUY FROM GRANDPA BOB!!!!! You might get your order in the fall if you order now.

    I'll give Bobo Greybeard a PM, see what I can afford. I've seen several "warnings" about grandpa bobs. Not going that route.

    Again, thanks guys!
