Custom Jigs?
Ok, I need some jigs, I have non left as of today. I want to get some new ones. Preferably from a small company, kinda like thunder struck. I wanna keep this relatively cheap, too, Under 3 bucks for per jig (maybe 3.10 or what ever, no more then 3.30 for sure). Here's what I want.
- Hand tied Skirt, I sick of melted rubber bands - rattles - good looking color - non-football head (sorry Kory ) - Silicon skirt.. again, I don't want melting! I can buy rattles to put them on, but I'd rather not. So anyone got any links, or some here I can get some! Thanks!

What size? 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 ??? Check Dave's Tournament or S&W at Green Tops in Richmond. Both good smaller companies that make good jigs. Dave's is a little bigger now but he started off like us little guys.

Size? 1/4 - 1/2 oz is fine, I very, very rarely use anything over 1/2oz. Didn't see any jigs at GreenTops!

Strange that they don't have them posted online ......I know they have a wall full of jigs and trailers. Call them up and ask them what they have in stock.

You must not have looked very hard because we offer more than football heads. I don't hand tie our skirts but I have jigs that I made several years ago with our bands and have yet to have one melt.

Your word is good enough for me! And I assume you're talking about the roughneck jig right?

Sammy, those rubber bands have come a long way and shouldn't melt. Unless of course they're touching some elaztech bait or something for some reason.
I actually like the rubber bands better. They occasionally slip down (not very often if you have a trailer), but the skirts last long than hand tied. when the skirt material gets pulled on a hand tied jig, there is no give (except the silicone) and it breaks. On a banded jig, you can pull the whole skirt down before the silicone with start to break. Just my opinion though. BB
