The Pix enclosed is a couple of custom Jigs that are a little like the shad or minnow heads that yall were speaking of ... #1 is a size #6, #2 is a size #8, #3 is a size #4 with a tying stem ( I have one a little larger that is a 1/0)
Do not have the exact weights but #1 & #2 or in the 1/32 & 1/64 range the #4 is a little larger than the 1/32.
Wish the paint jobs were as good as those you have all ready seen.
Are these jigs the style you guys had in mind ??

JSC, nothing wrong with those jigs at all. I look at all the jigs here on this forum, and everyone has certain talents that separates everybody apart. I am very meticulous about my finished jigs and painting, however I cannot tie jigs like you guys do. As funny as that sounds, but I don't have the patience for that. Over the years I have learned to slow down, and take more time, but I too want to get things done quickly. I found out that by rushing things, sometimes it only looks worse. Anyway, in the whole scope of things, the fish really don't care how beautiful the jig is. The pride and craftsmanship comes from the person making the jig. If you ever need any help, you know where to reach me. I'm more than willing to teach anyone how to powder paint. Finally as I always say, it takes a lot of practice.
