I tie my own hair jigs and let me tell ya, there is no better feelin than catchin a 5 pound smallie on a jig of your own. Well wait.. catchin a 6 pound would be better!! lol I use a do-it mold sparkie jig..... Cant get no better.... I use the same kind of hook that the king fisher jigs use... I love those hooks. There a mustad hook, gotta try to get the number for ya. Also I love use the feathers as a dressing... put one on each side turning away from each other. If you dont they will look a lil wierd in the water. Thats just what I like..... It seems to work pretty good. Had a good night on the hollow with them last thursday night. Blk/blue seems to be the trick right now. Had 11 and all but one was over 2 pounds... biggest being a largmouth around 6 and a couple smallies pushin 5 and some 4's and 3's. Hope this helps ya !

what weights are using and such...

why not just buy a bunch of punisher jigs and finish them yourself? I was into jig tying, and do it were the best there were at that time. Butits a great way to pass time, and you may save a few bucks a year, but time is money. Call punisher, maybe they can put you onto a good source for molds. My preference at the end was synthetic hair, and flaskabou, those jigs would shimy with minimum action. But the eyes started going.

I tied at least 150 to 200 different types of jigs from Jan to May this year. I have made crappie jigs using marabou feathers in about 5 different colors.

I went to BPS and bought several different types of Football Jigs in assorted weights and tied them using an assortment of Buck Tail, Black Bear Hair and a combination of both plus using the Marabou as a teaser. I took pictures of all the Bass Jigs I made and can send to whoever would like to see them.

Plus I made some with out weed guards, standup type jigs with the round heads and lastly.

I made about 100 different jigs using the Flat Type jig style with no weed guard. These are an assortment of Bear Hair, BuckTail, Marabou, and Cow Tail. All the Heads are painted and eyes painted on them to mimic a shad.

Do it probably has the best selection of molds out there. Hilts used to have a few. The other option is making your own mold. If you have a jig head that you like you can make a bondo mold from it. Not something that you would use for production of jigs, but fine for personal use.

Ryan,

I make almost all of my jigs,ive not had as much time as of late but i have a boat load of molds and stuff. Only way to get the advantage head is to get a blank mold and have a machine shop cut it out..pretty expensive tho, or you can borrow one like i did and make up a bunch of heads......
