jerry92808 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hi all. I am new to this forum. I am interested in making my own jigs and powder painting them and what not. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to get the lead from. Where to get the weed gaurds from (the fiber strands or already made weed gaurds). Where to buy the paint from and where to get the skirts from or how to make the skirts. I am trying to find the cheapest way to make them so any information would be awesome. Thanks in advance, jerry. Quote
IDbasser Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I get my hooks, powder paint, and weed guards from Barlows tackle. I get my skirt material and bands from fishingskirts.com. They also have a skirt making tool for $4 that makes putting skirts together quite easy. As for finding lead, here is a link to another thread. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1231203096 Quote
jerry92808 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 awesome! thx i will look into all of this. I hope soon to be posting what i make and what not! Quote
bowtech_182 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I buy my jigheads with weedguards loose from Cadman on this board. He has very reasonable prices. Eventually I am going to pour my own, but it takes a bit of money to invest in that. Powder paint from Janns Netcraft, skirts from fishingskirts.com. I tie my skirts on with bowstring material so I don't use bands. Quote

jerry92808 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 thanks for all the information all! I am finding it very helpful! When you buy skirts from fishingskirts.com are they selling you the tab or individual strands? Like if yo buy 100+ is that 100+ tabs? if so that's insanely cheap! Quote

bowtech_182 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I typically use 2 1/2-3 tabs per jig to make a full skirt. Quote
