I'm needing some 1/24oz collared jig heads with a #2 and #4 sickle hooks (preferably red, but not 100% necessary). I fish hollow tubes. I place a decent sized order every couple years, and the two people I have bought them from in the past can't be reached. Any help or direction is appreciated.

Does not seem like a very popular size the ol 1/24 is there that much difference?
Check with Bugman on Crappie.com. also known as simplycrappie.com. I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. Fair prices and fast shipping
Another vote for Bugman. Jamie does good work and I’ve never had to trim and clean anything I got from him. Fair prices too.
Everyone has their preferences, and this just happens to be mine!
I got a fairly large order last year from the man who makes "Crappie Cookies" jigheads in 1/24 ounce. They're ballhead, so not your typical tube style of head, but probablysmall enough to work fine in smaller tubes. If I recall correctly, he may have had a Facebook page and I contacted him through that, but he then met me in Clemson, SC to deliver the product (he lives near there).
I found these on EBay

Decent price for 1/24 oz - one of my standard jig weighs along with 1/64, 1/32, 1/16 oz.
Too light or too heavy a jig can make a big difference!
Get some 1/24's - you'll like them.
I agree. I wish I would have gotten a mold so I could have poured my own, but I can’t find one nowQuote:

There are a couple YouTube videos out on how to modify a 1/32 oz mold to make a 1/24 oz jig. It's been a while since I watched it, and the nice thing is they are seldom taken down.Quote:

I have a few 1/24 molds with and without collars and one takes a crane swivel for blade baits. I pour them mainly in small sizes down to a #10 sickle and have had some really good days using this size head with smaller hooks tying 1" baits, everything eats them. There are times when a tweener size jig like a 1/24 can be a huge plus in your catch for that day, but only if you use them.
If I can't get no-collar jigs in a particular size, I buy what's available and remove the collar. My wire grip invention holds lures in place just fine with zero damage to the soft plastic (like collars do) when changing lures.
Wire grip??? Do tell...Quote:
