Buying Jigs

Recommended Posts

Check out the Cabela's online store, also go to a Cabelas if you have one nearby.....best place I've found for round head jigs with a selection of hook sizes. I was informed that the store may not carry the same as the catalog, or the catalog and online catalog may also vary....but overall you still get some choice. I paint my own two ways....1 is powder paint and 2 is using nail polish over acrylic craft paint. Much cheaper if you paint your own.

Two ideas:

1) try these guys http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/

2) check some the web sites attached to the various TU members, some of these guys are pretty impressive.

The thing is, just like you, these folks are looking at the going rate for goods and services. The one way to under cut the middle man is to consider how to remove the "need" for the various goods and services and make them in-house. Look around your local area and see if a small investment in molds and a melting pot is worth while.

My son, a 28 yr old prior service marive, looves to shoot black powder and is pretty competative about it. Average weekend, he shoots around 200 .50 cal bullets. He found out that most of the tire shops in northern Wisconsin will give you the wheel wieghts to get rid of the lead. Other guys started asking for "his" lead and when he found alot of his sources also were into black powder, he added extra pours to protect his source.

Have you had that conversation with the local tire shops in your area???
