Get a mold and do it yourself:

Cabela's -- Do-It Horsehead Mold With Collar

The fish don't care where you got the jig head.

I buy mine down at Bass Pro Shops. I pay 13 bones per pack of 15 :o. Just bought another package last night.

I am always ashamed of myself for paying so much money for jig heads and for such an inconsistent product. The colors contained in each package of "chartreuse" range anywhere from pastel yellow, pastel green, flo green, and a couple true chart ones mixed in if you're lucky. Each package of "Flourescent Red" contains true red, light orange, and pink. Even if they get the colors reasonably consistent, you gotta make sure the blade isn't glued to the head.

Prolly be a little better - at least more consistent - product if Blakemore hadn't sued every honest competitor out of business.

They'll always be road runners to me. It's like saying, "Make a Xerox" instead of "Make a copy."

Yep, could you please hand me a Klenex? Frisbee (throwing disc), Hacky Sack (foot bag), Under Armor (compression wear), Band Aid (adhesive bandage) .............. I am sure there are many more!

I saw "Pony Head" (Guntersville Alabama Area) in the early 60's before I saw Mr. Blakemores Road Runners in the late 60's ... Does anyone know when Blakemore started makinig them ??

No not really, but I can tell you they got the Trademark in the 1990's sometime and I just don't have that year in my memory right now.

I don't think they were protected until the Campbells (Tru Trn) bought it out .
Could be wrong as the one before may have done it ..

I dont think the origianal had any protection on it (the original is the one I am talking about he sold out and the next one used his name as they bought the company and all, as to the best of my knowlage(SP) )).

The original had Blakemore Mfg & Blakemore Sales ... Woul load his vehicle up and travel all over the US.
