Custom Jigs?

Bassboss · 07-28-10, 07:55 PM

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.

I know, he's got some SWEET looking jigs. But here in Fl., we have no use for a football jig since we've got no rocky bottoms.

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.
