Who was it that got some of these done? Also if you don't mind how much cost was involved?

Skip,
I found a guy here in Atlanta that chrome plates them for around 10 bucks per 100. Jungle Jim has gotten a bunch plated up in his neck of the woods also,chrome and gold plated.
they do look good. I may just back away from silver powder paint
I don't know about backing away from the powder, but I would like some in both silver and gold. I am not as happy with gold powder as I am silver, but I have a pound of it and I can clear coat over it and improve it's gloss some.Quote:

I mean no business in the world would pay something like 30%-50% more for an item and not raise their prices huh?

I got about 20,000 going out to be plated next week 1/100 to 1/16 minnow and ball if you need any hollar Skip
hey ff46
you gonna have these on your web sight for sale ? i could use a couple hundred 1/ 16 ball heads. gold and chrome ?
I have a little over 2000 chromes now and they are very nice,all sickles.I'm waiting for the gold plated jigs to get back. Maybe after I get my third batch back I'd sell some. Eventually want to get some black nickles done as well. With the cost of the plating they will definitely cost more than plain heads,but the shine these have trigger fish better than anything I've ever used before. Cabela's and Bass Pro sells regular nickle plate jigheads for $2.79 and gold for $3.19 per dozen!!!!! I'm sure you can or will get them cheaper on cc.
I just filled a order with them bad boy's on the baitfish color's that's My best jig ever yes I will have them for sale JJJ will have them to this 1st 20,000 is a test run at 3 vender's My main concern is quality and on time delivery I can fudge alittle on cost I hope.
