    Default Ball Head, No Shank Jigs?


    In the past, I have bought jigs at Bass Pro, or Cabelas or Sportsman Warehouse, somewhere that had a bright silver head but no lead on the hook shank. I have found them at least as small as a 1/64 and maybe smaller. I was trying to find them online to order some, but I’m not having any luck. Does anyone recognize what I’m trying to describe and know who makes them?

    Thanks

    GF

    That is the typical style of head that is used when tying jigs. They are often described as collarless or no-collar. Lots of us here make them

    Think you're looking for chrome plated Wapsi jigs - try google search. Fly tying suppliers carry them.

    You can also get some Plated heads at Barlow's Tackle. They have a lot of different heads including Nickel Plated and Gold Plated as well some painted heads.

    I also have some small Nickel & Gold Plated heads we could talk about if you want, PM me and we can talk.

    What you described sounds to me like Nickel Plated heads which are here.

    I get mine from GrouseFly on this site. I have bought 1/64, 1/32, 1/24, & 1/16 from him. No collar and you can pick the hook of your choice. Just send him a private message on this site. Paul Mullins . He's in Kentucky. Purchased from him several times.

    I have got jig heads from Paul for a really long time, but don't think he has Nickel Plated heads.
