I used to really enjoy pouring my own jigs til my arthritis in my hands got so bad I could hold the ladle steady. yes it can get expensive.

As long as you're not making them for all your friends once you get past the 1000 crance swivels, 1000 split rings (I prefer them) and depending on hooks you have enough to make yourself a 1000 jig heads. Yeah paint costs get added in there too but look at the cost of buying a 1000!!!

You start tieing your on your own!!!!LOL

Around 30 at a time is all I need. Still cheaper than buying them.

**kickingback** · 02-13-2015, 05:05 AM

Yep, cheaper. Good looking jigs! Let us know how they work or better yet take a picture with one of them in the fishes mouth! That would be cool! Good luck!

Mold depending on where you get it $30-45 dollars (Pony Head -collared with barb) (horsehead no collar). Had mine for a long time so I only consider the parts
1000 #12 Crane Swivels $33
1000 1/0 split rings $15
1000 #4 Black Nickle sickles $26.25
2 oz's powder paint- just one color $5.00

Using mold cost at $35 + parts/paint $114.25 + shipping

about $.12 a jig to get started
