    Default Jig pouring


    Whats a good site to get equipment for pouring my own jigs. Im gonna need a melter and some 1/16 and 1/8 molds. I can buy the jigs around here but it seems everytime i need them they either dont have them or the barbs on them are not up to par. So im gonna give it a go myself.
    Its all about how ya wiggle it!

    I think that your best bet is going to be "Barlow's Tackle". They have just about anything that you will need.

    I use a no.2 on 1/16 and a no.1 on 3/32. That sells good here in west central Arkansas. Some like big hooks and some like little hooks and the rest of us use medium sizes. 1/0 is not much bigger than a no. 1.

    I keep a stock of jig heads with #4, #6 & #8 hooks for both of that weight jig. I probably don't really need the #8 in 1/8, but I have them.
