Also Cadman and Smalljaw are jig makers. One of the three probably can fix you up. That will give you time to see how far you want to get into it. Check fishing skirts for your tabs and living rubber has a site.
People are always upgrading to the latest and greatest. There are lots of really good used units out there that can be had for that kind of money. Check the flea market here and for sale forums on other sites.
The Pitzen is just one step less than the San Diego jam and just as strong. I can tie it with gloves on in just a few seconds. I is not real Arig friendly but I don’t know what is.
I talked to a Zman guy and got the Flambeau info last year. I ordered 4 of their boxes and put some of my Zman baits in them. It took longer but all 4 have warped.
In the original package my worms got flat and stuck together. I like their baits but they are hard keepers.
I used to smoke molds with marginal success. After cadman turned me on to Frankfort Arsenal Drop Out spray I quit and now use it. Smoke did not work on my Poison Tail molds. Drop Out did.
I make my own. I use from 1/4 to 1/2 oz with 2/0 to 5/0 hooks depending upon the bait. Brush hogs, baby brush hogs and paca craws have worked best for me. I have to hop or drag it to get bites. Swimming like Tommy B. gets me nowhere.
If you want to break it in properly, clean it after every 5 rounds and clean out the copper every 25 rounds up to the first 100 rounds. That will improve your groups.
I tried several and liked none, so I bought the Midwest Finesse jig mold so I could make them the way I wanted them. I use 3 sizes of hooks 2, 1, and 1/0 depending on the type of area I am fishing.
