Tried to stock up on these jigs as I have grown fond of them, but Digitaka and Plat are out of stock. Plat email said they are months out. Y'all bought 'em all, I guess! It's bad enough I can't find Clorox wipes, now my favorite jigs? Dang. nonono
Just kidding! Ya snooze, ya lose, I reckon. :cheers2
If anyone has any extra packs of 1.5g/#8/black they can sell, send me a PM. I could use 4-5 packs. Or 1.0g/#10/black. TFR

Well...it looks like Daiwa is no longer producing the jig heads. Of course I don't know this for a fact but when an item no longer shows up on the companies own website it is not a good sign. Hopefully this is not the case.

Chris still has some red ones. Could paint them with a black sharpie.

A while back, I ordered one pack of the 1.5g from amazon prime to try out. And they made a mistake and sent me one case of 10 packs for free Lol. Just looked over there and it's saying currently unavailable now.
The wire on these jigs are easy to bend.Quote:

I’ve found some small jig heads with sickle hooks that work well with TM’s. Hooks are pretty sharp too. I wrap a few turns of wire (used for fly tying) next to the head to hold the plastics on. Works quite well.
When I run out.....which will be a year or so...I went out and did a count......I only have 200 of the 1.5 gram but have 640 of the 1 and 2 gram.......I will use some other brand of JDM salt water light game jig head. I have I think 5 different brands I’ve tried. They are all super sharp......but the Daiwa were the sharpest I’ve ever seen. I’ve already got my eye on some more brands to try once Japanese EMS mail resumes.Quote:

I’m in the same boat... really would like some more 1 gram jigheads :/
Could be.....but in my short 8 years experience of buying JDM gear when they take it off the website it is out of production. I hope they continue to produce them but I’m going on the hunt for something new.Quote:

Was able to get some stock from Plat in the glow color (1.5g/#8) and the last 4 packs of black. No 1 gram except a few in #10 which I snagged (for bluegill/shellcrackers). Could always paint the glow color black with some nail polish, but they seem to work as well as the black. My top-performing hand-tie is tied on a Daiwa glow head 1.5g #8, tied in gold/chartreuse. A crappie killer.
I bought some more Tict Azista in the 1g SS hook, these are my new favorites for bream fishing with red-wigglers or the Renosky minnow. Also got some Cultiva worm heads in 1g to try.
