    Default 1/124 jig heads, cant seem to find them online


    I live in the northeast and they went and banned lead weights and jigs in fresh water. Is anyone making lead free micro jig heads. I want to make some cap spiders.

    At that weight, get yourself some hematite beads and the size jig hooks you want and make your own. Tungsten beads would also work but much more expensive.

    Going to be hard to find anything smaller then say 1/100. I have some 1/80 that Grousefly made for me. Check with him to see if he has what you want. Just PM him.

    I get my 1/124 oz jig heads from bass pro shop. They are probably lead, but its a place to check

    I know they are making jigs out of tin but need to locate these in 1/124. Id buy a mold if i could get my hands on one that small.

    Tin bismuth is 3/4 the weight of lead so 1/100 oz would work if i could get a mold that size would work for me.

    Leadfreejigheads is about the only place i know of that could come close. Not as small as you mention but down to #10 jig hooks so pretty small - Fly Balls - and always get confused if it is a 1/64 actual weight or if it is the SIZE of a 1/64 head but the weight of tin/bismuth. He is really good to work with and excellent craftsmanship. Also says you should not paint the lead free with powder, but it is possible if you are careful.
