Where To Get Your Materials To Start Tying!

[Spir]

I've tied flies for fly fishing for years, but would love to start tying crappie jigs. Most of the jigs I buy have a "jig saver" lead hook on it. When I powder coat paint my jig, this becomes very slick (and hard to tie). Where can I buy affordable (around 15 cents each) 1/16 and 1/8 size unpainted jigs with no "jig saver" lead extrusion? I would like to just have a ball head on the jig, that is all that I am looking for. I would be happy to buy in bulk. Then I could tie a beautiful body on the jig hook. I have been to most of the popular web sites for crappie fishing and can't find them. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

There are several places you can get them, but think maybe you should ask this on the main Jig Tying Board? Link to that board... http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...-making-forum/
I am thinking all you want and need is some heads without collar which is what we all use for the most part.
