Your jigs are exactly like I like to use. I have used your type of jig for years which is where "jigboy" comes from. All my friends drop minnows and I always found that a bit boring so I use jigs.

I may or may not do this. As far as pouring the lead,I am in the plumbing industry so I have all the lead I want. I used to pour lead soldiers as a kid and can handle that. I can watch and teach my son to do it properly.

As far as pouring the plastic jig, I will have to think about it. I have never even tied a jig before so this will be a learning experience. I fish in the worst places you can fix and get snagged a ton. I look at it that you have to get snagged to get where the fish are. I limited out twice this weekend and bet you I went through 25 jigs while doing it. Thats a lot of jigs. One I might save some money, two, I believe my kid will enjoy helping make them. If I have to do a lot of the work until he learns, then I just have.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I did keep your infor incase I don't do this, then I can just buy them directly from you.
