Skip, this should be a sticky. Great post!

Warning: This thread can be harmful to your checkbook!!!

I tend to get my materials from Gander and Bass Pro as I can drive to em and walk around and look at em all. I got my jigheads from a forum member that I believe no longer is on here so next time I need some I will get em from a sponsor member.

Reinke Brothers in Milwaukee.

Home Page

Reinke's should be considered a national treasure and hallowed ground for all tackle makers. This is where Bill Binkelman went to buy his stuff and get advice. The late Jack Remus of Jack's Jigs got his start with the help of the Reinkes.

They have just about anything you could want or need. They are also a wellspring of knowledge of tackle, tackle-making and the industry in general. Plus the family holds one of the largest collections of Do-It molds in the world.

Check out the photos and tell me you wouldn't wanna stop there at least once a week! The website is still in it's early stages, so the full inventory isn't anywhere near being online yet. Best best is to give them a call or use the contact form on the website.

Bob and Rich will do ya'up right, that's for sure.

True. However I am glad Skip made this a stickie as individuals ask this question all the time. Thanks Skip.

Thumbs up for Marriot's. Intentionally ordered $100+ for free shipping. Several items ordered have been discontinued/out of stock with no ETA. They took the time to manually override the incurred shipping since the price fell below $100...

If you visit there site, bear with it. They are in the process of upgrading.

I've ordered jig heads from Grandpa Bob's several times and the service has always been great. Just started getting into tying and ordered some materials last time I needed heads. They were out of one color of marabou I wanted, so he sent me two packages of select marabou quills instead. When the marabou I wanted came in, he sent it to me at no cost. I like his site because he has pictures of everything he sells right on the item page. No need to switch back and forth between pages or guess on colors based on the item name. The shipping is fast too.

Grandpa Bob's Custom Jigs

Good prices, and a really nice guy.

Pbug for the heads and crazy angler for the suplies. Both have good service and good pricing. And great products

I would like to see a list of what "beginer" supplys one should get... I have not a clue.. keep in mind this is for Oklahoma lakes mostly

disregard.. I found my answer in the next sticky I looked at.

I have had good luck with Bob Marriotts, Cascade Crest Tools, Crazy Angler and a new place J-Mac Lures. Each has something to offer. I haven't found any one place that has everything.

ShilohRed offers up this hair for jig tying.

Fish Hair

Hey, Bought some new jig molds from these guys. Do-It Molds : Jig molds for pouring your own lead fishing tackle. Best price and fast delivery I've found anywhere.

I pour my own heads. The best source for hooks I hav found is www.hooksolutions.com

I found these the other day while researching another thread looking for crank bait bodies.

Unpainted Crankbait Bodies, Unpainted Fishing Lures, many body styles (It's a link to Jann's Netcraft site. Their catalog is amazing)

Hagensfish.com. Best hook prices i've found.

I'm getting some thing's from Grandpa Bob's too but I must say his Customer Service is really gonna have to step it up to be even in the same league as
Crazy Angler Tackle, FAST Shipping & GREAT Communication!! and Robert is a Class Act!

If you powder paint your jigs, for the rest of this month you can'y beat Rosey's Powder Coating as there is a 1/2 off sale on everything.

I use a lot of rabbit in my jig tails. I use the Magnum Rabbit Strips from these guys.

I should have mentioned Cascade Crest Tools in my original post as they have good service and good products as well. Don't think it's just tools either since they have that in their name you would think maybe that is all they do, but no and they are the best place to get Crystal Antron which is beautiful chinell that has a little sparkle in it and easy t tie a great looking jig with! They have a lot of items!

Here is a link to them.....

I've tied flies for fly fishing for years, but would love to start tying crappie jigs. Most of the jigs I buy have a "jig saver" lead hook on it. When I powder coat paint my jig, this becomes very slick (and hard to tie). Where can I buy affordable (around 15 cents each) 1/16 and 1/8 size unpainted jigs with no "jig saver" lead extrusion? I would like to just have a ball head on the jig, that is all that I am looking for. I would be happy to buy in bulk. Then I could tie a beautiful body on the jig hook. I have been to most of the popular web sites for crappie fishing and can't find them. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

There are several places you can get them, but think maybe you should ask this on the main Jig Tying Board? Link to that board... http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...-making-forum/
I am thinking all you want and need is some heads without collar which is what we all use for the most part.

These tips and places are a good many years old now and some are not as good as they once were, like Marriott's! I have not bought anything from them in probably 8 years. Try other places like Crazy Angler, Barlow's Tackle, JS Flyfishing or heck maybe even me if I have what your looking for. There are a lot of places, but know some just drop ship from some other business.

I just added a note about how this thread is 14 years old!

Things have changed so much from then. Really the funny thing about this thread is just yesterday it made me realize how long I have been tying and doing this, lol! Maybe sometime I can go back and update some of this to make it more relevant now. Some of these are still going and doing well, but some are limited by where they get their stuff. Personally I feel anything I get that came from Hareline was a little better than others, especially Hackle and Marabou jig type materials. Bob Marriotts yes to have more items than anyone and had great customer service plus prices that were as good or better than most retail places, but that all seems to have changed. If I can ever help just shoot me a PM.
