First post for me, hope I get it right. I'm looking for some short shanked jig heads for minnow fishing. The best size for me would be about 1/32 ounce with #4 short shanked hooks. Does anyone know where I could get them?
Thanks for your responses!
Nick
There are people here that custom pour jigheads. May check the classifieds section.
And welcome aboard
#4 for a minnow? Are you sure you don't want like a #12 or smaller? Oh wait, you want to use minnows for bait. Just check with there guys on the Pouring and Painting DIY board.

Welcome from Alabama. Skip was right. Check or post your request in the pouring section.
May be on to something. We had all had a bass or big cat grab a bream we were reeling in. I hook my minnows through the lips anyway. Certainly streamlining the fishing there.
Thanks for the answers guys, I'm still looking, seems to be a rare commodity

Some guys here custom pour so that may be an aption.

Technically the standard jig is short shank. There is also x-short shank used on live bait jigs but only #1 are available, I've never heard of smaller.Quote:

Have you looked at the Gamakatsu Round Jig head 211, supposed to be for live bait and finesse presentation. Short shank as well.

I think someone here could make this for you. Post your request with the photo here on Pouring and Painting Jig Heads. https://www.crappie.com/crappie/pour...ting-jigheads/

Well if you want send a PM to Grousefly on this site and ask him. I know he's a busy guy, but I know he can make almost any kind jig there is. I have bought my heads from him for many years, many many! lol

I poured this jig for years for walleye. Mine were 1/2 to 1 oz. and I have no mold for the little jigs. I know one of these folks will hook you up. Keep checking in.
Thanks Captain! That is the right style but they don't make them as small as I need (no one seems to). I need smaller like 1/32 ounce and smaller hooks. I use them to fish with minnows in the brush and the smaller lighter jigs and hooks seem to avoid snagging much better. I fished regular jig heads at Grenada last week, they worked ok but the shorter shank would be much better. Man! we had a great week there!
I also recommend you send a pm to Grousefly on this forum.Quote:

Thanks Dave I have contacted
bugman, now answer yet
What about tungsten ice fishing jigs? Maybe the hooks would be too small?
I looked at them also, almost perfect, as you thought hooks too small. Thanks for the response!

All of our makers on the forums do good work, and I too have bought from many of them. Bugman does nice work and while busy, he gets an answer back and your order out pretty quick. Don’t think you could go wrong with any of them. Grousefly also does good work but is sometimes very busy and you’ll need to be patient. He’s worth the extra time.
