weedless jig heads?

TNT lures used to make a weedless jig head. we are haveing a hard time locating them. Any help would be APPRC.
The smallest size is what iam trying to locate?
Been told that another co. i guess gave them a hard time when they were selling them?
I describe it as a plane no color but did have a pankace(round head ) with a stick on eye but was the only jig head that we have found that had an off-set weedless hook molded into it. (like a texas rigged weedless hook for bass fishing )iffen you can picture the hook/head.
Have few left and wish that we could find alot more.
Iff made with a willow leaf also in the smallest weight it is deadly in dead pad stems, pads, brush cover, you will not find many i bettcha.But iffen you do it is a great fishing tool? HELP!

ReelfootYankee,
I believe you may be referring to TNT Lure and Tackle Co., Inc.
I believe it doesn't exist anymore, maybe the owner is deceased, I don't know.
I tried to contact it at: PMB 363
3171-A So. 129th E. Ave.
Tulsa, OK 74134
They made the lures you describe.
I called the 1-877-868-5873 number and got no answer.
I then called the 918-625-3535 number and got an answering machine saying this is "Jack", leave a message.
Never got a response from the messages I left.
I even contacted the City of Tulsa Business Licensing Bureau, the OKla. Tax Commission
and even the Chamber of Commerce, no one at these entities had any record of that business.
TNT Lure and Tackle Co., Inc. used to have full page ads in CrappieWorld magazine.
No one seems to know what happened to the business.

friend i wish i could ive had 2 folks off the forum come to the house and try to help me cracker and west tenn. but we cannot figure why we cant?
Anyhow the style hook is just like crappie Pappie has in the picture/last row bottom left (HOOK STYLE)! when they made them the head was round (Round as in what i call papper plate) round and flat with stick on eyes in just plain led, and in 3 diffnt. sizes. with a spinner colarado blade. i would swap the blade out with a willow leaf on finnikey days but i got to find some! ive got a couple clues but no really good leeds? From a member from TNT.
PS,still cant find to order?

If I had one to look at or a picture to go by I may could come up with something for you. The hook you are talking about in that pic from CP is a custom made hook that I managed to get a 1000 of once upon a time and wish I had 10,000 more of them..lol....BECAUSE THEY WORK AND WORK WELL!!! Getting the pill/aspirin head design won't be a issue so the sides will be flat, IF it dont mess up the blade assembly. Where was the blade attached? If you can draw me a sketch and PM it my way I will see what I can come up with...I like a good challenge...lol...Good Fishin'...GF

Thank you Allen and thank all of you! N. Prowler that had helped me as well as i could not put a picture up! But thank you Allen! The picture is a lil. fuzzy and its hard to tell as the size increases the head duzz to! The stick on eye it came with. the smallest is what i call my secret weapon and all sizes but when orderd they did not come in any other color then the plain lead color. the last one i would like to think i painted on the most visable color to a crappie with a base coat etc. added the willow leaf and have had alot of fun with it!
And would like to buy a truck load full cause thats just me! as the jig head gets bigger it gets rounder. and i use the bigger ones to bottom bounce as crappie back off in certain wheather conditoins. Now thats just me,what works for me might not work for the rest ,just thought i would share! Thank all you guys !!

Hummmm...very interesting and I have seen these before. If I remember correctly they use to run a add in Crappie World Magazine a while back. It might take a little work but it maybe doable with a LITTLE brain work and some hillbilly engineerin'...lol...
