FR0G Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I am really wanting to start tying my own jigs. I am not sure yet on if I want to pour my own jig heads yet, but I for sure want to do my own skirts. What do I need as far as just buying pre-made jig heads, and tying my own? Where can I buy all of it online? Quote
harshman Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Try Barlows tackle www.barlowstackle.com Stamina www.staminainc.com Janns netcraft www.jannsnetcraft.com For a start, they will send you a free catalog if you want also. Harshman Quote
FR0G Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks. Now I need help on exactly what to order. I do know for sure I want to use round rubber skirt material. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted March 20, 2008 Super User Posted March 20, 2008 Since you are just getting started, I recommend Jann's Netcraft. You can buy small amounts of the rubber in the colors you want. All you really need is some jig heads and some rubber. You will need a way to attach the rubber (copper wire is great) to the jig. A pair of scissors for cutting and some pliers to pull the wire tight and you are set to go. Quote
FR0G Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 How much ounces of skirt does it take to make one jig? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted March 20, 2008 Super User Posted March 20, 2008 I use about 5 inches of rubber for one jig. So if you bought a 10' piece of rubber it would make 2 dozen jigs. Quote
aggiebassin Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 not trying to hijack this thread...but do you have problems w/ the rubber material melting in your boxes?? i know older rubber skirts that came on some spinnerbaits melted pretty easily. Quote
