LooksLikeSinbad Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hello, I'm a bass angler from New York. I have read this forum for a while and wanted to say thank you to the members for all the helpful information you've shared. I recently ordered my first batch of jig-making supplies from jannsnetcraft.com and I'm really enjoying assembling my own jigs. I have a few newbie questions if you don't mind: - What are some good online store for jjg-making supplies that acceept paypal? - Are there any good websites with tutorials, articles, videos, etc. for beginners regarding making/assembling jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, etc.? - What type of paint do you use to paint lead jig heads? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigmaster Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hey, sinbad what kind of supplies are you looking for? most guys do powder and cure on their products, although I use devcon on a few of my products. I have thought about doing some video tutorials on lead pouring, etc.....and am in the process of writing a comprehensive e-book on making jigs...still picking away at it! keep us appraised on your progress regards jm www.daimonlures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dampeoples Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Check out www.lurecraft.com, Kim has a lot of stuff that's not listed and she takes Paypal. She also has most things you have listed on the site. Speaking of Paypal, I've repeatedly emailed Stamina, Barlow's and Jann's asking them if they would accept Paypal, I get the standard 'Sure buddy, we'll look into that' from the others, and a 'no' from Barlow's.
