maybe I was looking at the wrong place..lol. I should be looking at how to make some jig head to suite my need. I even devised these just to try out...
I’ll see how it fares soon enough Thanks for the reply Tom!

I suggest using Dinsmore AAA shot. It’s soft lead and weighs about 1/32 oz. Most fly shops (including Bass Pro and Cabelas) carry it.

Small jigs easily made with solid brass bead, jig hooks down to size 12's and sequin pins. The one here is 1/32oz.

Just bend the end of the sequin pin up to create a barb for holding plastic baits.

The Dinsmore BB shot weighs about 1/64 oz, if you want to try to make some smaller jigs.
