frinkha Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hello, I'm looking for sources of lead jigs. I'm specifically interested in the styles you see in the attached picture. I know a gentleman that produces these, but cannot justify the price he is charging. Any advice or guidance you have is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound arrogant, as many people know me on this board and know that I'm not like this, but I always wonder why someone would get a beautiful product, the way they want it, custom made and then say that a custom pourer is charging too much. My first response to something like that is. Well then pour them yourself and see how much time and money you would have to invest in it. Anyway all that aside, the top two jigs are a custom mold and the bottom is pretty standard. The sickle hook in the bottom pic is no longer available as they "Matzuo" are out of business. However there are alternate hooks similar to the hook shown. The person above my post "dlaery" will take good care of your custom needs on the three jigs you have shown. Good Luck. BTW welcome to TU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as we are in the start up phases of our business, we are looking for product that is cost effective. I can't justify paying almost 23 cents for an unpainted lead jig when I can get tungsten overseas for the same price (or even cheaper). We've since found a company that is able to pour similar product for 6 to 8 cents a piece. This will suffice until we are able to purchase our own equipment. I'm merely my husband's secretary who is in charge of research and finding quality product at the cheapest rate...There's a big learning curve for women in the fishing industry.

BBK Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Top one is a moon glow, lure parts online has them unpainted for cheap. Middle is either a 4mm or 5mm tungsten jig, hard to find this time of year but run about $1-$1.20 ea now on ebay in USA. $0.50-0.75 if you buy from china, long wait though. Bottom looks to be a custom mold, never seen one like it. Edited February 14, 2019 by BBK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well congratulations on your start-up business. Yes there is a big learning curve in the fishing industry for women, however I would not let that stop you. My wife is my tournament partner for the bass tourneys we do, and she can hold her own . All women really need is someone to take the time to show them the ropes and many learn really well. I will tell you this, fishing with her is easier than fishing with some guys. All she does is get in the boat and fish. Anyway good luck on your new business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
