What are the basics?

What are the basics for making Jigs and plastics? I would like to start making my own so I can make what patterns I want or color variations. Most stores where I'm from don't carry very many colors.

Pick one or the other.  Getting into both at the same time is a big task.  My suggestion is to find someone or some place that will sell you painted jig heads and weed guards, buy some skirts and assemble them.  That way you can see what it takes to put them together then decide if or not you want to spend the money for lead, lead pot, molds and all of the other components that it takes to be successful.

 

If you decide plastics look at Barlows, Jann's, Lurecraft or others for some kind of starter kit.

 

You can easily tie up several hundred dollars getting into either one of these activities.
