Jig Heads, where do you buy?

Since I started tying this weekend, I have been buying all my supplies from Bass Pro Shops here in Nashville. By sheer luck I found the type of jig heads that I like to use since no one at the store ties jigs and they could hardly imagine why I would want to tie my own when they had millions on the racks for sale. The ones I like are the ones in the picture below. I like them with just a head and a hook - no neck or body. These are fine for the meantime, but I would like to get ahold of some in 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 with either nickle plated heads and hooks or unpainted heads with red hooks.

My quesiton is: Where do yall buy your jigs? Do you pour your own or do you order them? I do not have the materials needed to pour my own, so that option is out for me. If you guys order them will you please share the website? I looked in the stickies and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help with all my quesitons.

These are the ones I'm using now. I'm using the nickle plated ones.

I have bought from TCI who is a member on here. I believe that Grousefly also sells jigs here. If you do a search on here you can find more information. You can also find them on ebay.

I think the plated heads come from Cabela's if I am not mistaken.

I buy my heads from Grousefly. I tried the other guy and it didn't work out.

I pour many heads myself. Let me know what you need and I'll look and see if I have the mold. I know right off hand that I can make you round heads 1/16 and 1/32 heads and the same weight in pony heads. I also make a minnow spinner that is like a pony head but is a minnow head. I attach a swivel and willow blade to it.

I believe cabelas carries the ballheads too, and seems to me that you could get them unpainted too. I pour my own, and yes it takes a lead melting pot, and molds, but you get to do the whole shebang, and that makes it more rewarding when your done. I used to buy my ballheads like you are doing, from a local guy, but at 2.99 a dozen, it gets a little expensive. Now I have several hundred heads on hand, and when I get bored I pour some more. I give some heads to a guy I know, and he gets me pure sheet lead, from god knows where. The hooks will be your main expense then but 5.99 a hundred ain't bad. Just use a respirator and ventilation.

take a look-see here, for some pics of samples of Grousefly's work :
