Sources for Jigheads

Recently, several were inquiring about sources of jigheads.

I recently purchased several hundred from Mr. Tommy Crenshaw with TCI Fishing Lures. I am going to post his contact information should you still be looking. Tommy powder coated the jigheads for 1.00 dollar per hundred more than the listed price. I purchased jigs with sickle hooks, but he also has Mustad and Eagle Claw. Great job on the hooks and the powder coating. No paint in the eyes is a plus in my book plus the Matzuo sickles are unbelievably sharp. We have several excellent jig head makers on this forum and this is just another possibility.

Good Fishing,

Mud-Dabber

I ordered some from him this fall mud,when no one had any sickle hooks.He makes some nice heads.

He is a nice guy seems like. I got several hundred from him and have been tying today. Those sickle hooks are unbelievably sharp. Pricked myself multiple times. You know, he would paint those hooks for only 1.00 per hundred in the color of your choice. Dang sure worth it for me anyway. He ran out of the bronze #4 sickle hooks, but thought he might get some in this week. He has the red sickle hooks, but they are higher he said.

The reds were almost double the price last time

does he cure the powder paimt too?!?! $1 per 100 is a great price, but what does he charge for the jigs? Also what colors does he have?

If you will contact Tommy, he will provide the information you are needing. Information for contacting him is in the first post. I have been really impressed with the paint job. I normally do not get a white color, but I did this time and it is more of a pearl than a true white. He said he was working on a color chart, when he gets it to me, I will post it for him. Give him a shout with your questions.

Email I received from Tommy about his jig heads.

Just wanted to let you know I finished my color charts for all my colors and topcoats.

I also have glitter topcoats that are a clear powder paint with a glitter mixed in. All are from Pro-Tec only.

Tommy emailed today, 02/19/08 and stated that he received 10,000 #4 bronze sickle hooks (Matzuo) and was starting to produce more jig heads if interested. Tommy had stated he was experiencing problems getting the #4 sickles and had been on back order for awhile. Tommy is from Florida.

Regards and Good Fishing,
Mud-Dabber

tommy said that he had received several orders from crappie.com members. he said that if you had special order requests on hooks with a jig head to email him and he would try to oblige you on a special order.

This is Tommy from TCI, and I just wanted to say thanks to Mud-dabber and all of those who have purchased from me. I've been quite busy since this information was posted, and am still working a couple orders for previous customers at this time.
If anyone else is interested in some jigs, please feel free to contact me or visit my store. All of the info is in the first post by Mud-dabber.
Thank You again.

Welcome Tommy to crappie.com. You have alot of knowledge to help on jig making, painting, etc. Glad to have you aboard. We have several excellent jig makers, jig head providers and lots of knowledge from jig tiers.

Mud

This is Tommy again with TCI. I'd like to say thank you again to all who have purchased from me. Mud-Dabber's info is still correct, so if anyone would like some jigs please feel free to contact me.
I also have an update on the sickle hooks. I have received some more of them, and here is what I just got in:
15000 #4 bronze sickle hooks
8000 #6 bronze sickle hooks
The #6's had been on backorder for 3-4 months, and they are on BO again as of now. Not sure how long it will be before I get more in, but I expect the 8000 I have to go pretty quick since they have been something no one could get for so long.
Thank You again.

Yet another update on hooks. I now have ALL sizes in stock in bronze, #6, #4, #2, #1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0. I have literally thousands of each size.
Additionally, I have also finally received some more red #4's. I have 4000 of them on hand, and will be working to get them, back in my ebay store. If you don't want to wait or would rather avoid ebay, just send me an email at [email protected] or my [email protected] .

Just another update, but I finally got another 3000 red #2's. I had some requests for them a while back, but didn't have any. If interested in some please let me know.
Thank You.

I got my order in the mail the other day. Exactly as expected. Thank you Tommy.

I have bought from Tommy several times and I just ordered some more jig heads. They are an excellent product and he ships pretty quick.
