FL_Sharpshooter Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Just curious if anyone has got a guide of the sort that will help me through what kind of materials I will need to make jigs/spinnerbaits, and possibly some assembly techniques. This isn't going to be any mass-production of the sort, so basic tools will work. I have a general idea on how to make them, just looking for any more information I can possibly get. I really want to start out simple and start making my own jigs first, then later move on to spinnerbaits. I'm not doing it to save money or anything, I just would like to be creative and make jigs the way I want them to be. Thanks for any help you gurus . Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 PM Cadman and he will hook you up Thanks . I PM'd him a couple days ago about how he got those multi colors on his jig heads...haven't heard back yet. Maybe he just hasn't seen it.. Quote
Fat-G Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Figure out what type of jighead you want, buy them. Buy skirts from www.fishingskirts.com, along with the tool and bands. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 15, 2011 Global Moderator Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks . I PM'd him a couple days ago about how he got those multi colors on his jig heads...haven't heard back yet. Maybe he just hasn't seen it.. Lots of powder paints come in multi colors. I don't get real crazy but I have powder paint in green pumpkin/red flake, black/blue flake, rootbeer/green flake. They make some pretty crazy colors if you really want to get into it. I just make baits for myself and until someone convinces me that I need my jigheads to match my skirts perfectly I'll still be using black and brown for most of my jigs. Like G-man said, find the jig style you like and get the unpainted version if you want to paint your own. Buy the skirts and throw them together. You can get some pretty good looking customized baits with fairly little work like that. I make mine from start to finish and it takes a lot of time to make them from pour to finished product. Quote

Brett, I checked my PM's nothing there. I checked my e-mails, emails sent and spam nothing there either. Sorry, otherwise I would have replied. Anyway, I have a lot of info for you on starting up. From hand tying skirts, powder painting jigs and more. Send me a PM with your e-mail and I will help you out and get you started. Cadman Quote
