Megastink Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I am looking for a provide of a Football Jig head made with a gamazatsu Regular wire, wide gap (NOT EWG) hook. I want the molded head, unpainted, with a hole for a fiber weedgaurd. My goal is to paint them myself and glue in a 9 strand weedgaurd (light, I KNOW!!!!). I would like to hand tie my own skirts, or I just may build a few with a rubber band. I cannot find ANYONE who sells a jig head like this. And I'm not surprised, its an odd request. I would be JUST AS SATISFIED if I could find a painted weedless football jighead with a light weedguard. Can anyone help me find my perfect head? I would be forever greatful. Thanks!!!! -Mega Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 Contact Terry Anderson at AFS Baits (Google website). He is a local (to me - IN) custom jig designer/tyer that can do about anything for you. I'd say he'd be your best shot that I'm aware of. Tell him T9 sent ya' and maybe your request will get special consideration (LOL - no promises). -T9 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 I had a special request for my last batch of jigs and one of our sponsors made it happen and quick!! Siebert outdoors Jeff Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 27, 2012 Global Moderator Posted January 27, 2012 I'd check one of the sight sponsers also. I would be really surprised if one of them couldn't make you something at least very close to what you are looking for, if not exactly like what you are wanting. It shouldn't be hard to so at all from what I'm understanding as long as the hook you want fits the mold. What football jig do you want and size? There is a mold with the eye horizontal to the head and one perpindicular to the head. I only pour the one that is horizontal with the head because they can be used to make bladed jigs also and that style eye seems to protect the knot a little better. Quote
matstone7 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Most footballs will have a bigger hole unless you go light on the weight. You say 9 strand, what is the dimension of the specific weed guard you intend to use. That would be good to know when you contact someone and since you ask here, consider asking the sponsors, most will work with you, I'm sure. Quote
River Rat316 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The fg9 9 strand weedguard is not long enough to even come close to covering the hookpoint, you would be better off with an fg12 12 strand weedguard, it is cinsiderably lighter than the fg30, I use a 7' ml spinning rod and 6lb test wiht this weedguard all the time and have no problem getting a good hookset. I could help you with this but would have to order the 614 (I believe that is the number) Gammi hook as I only stock the Mustad 32798. Let me know if you want em, there will be a minimum order of at least 25 and would take at least a couple extra days to get the hook in. Quote

River Rat, Do you think you could make me a 3/8oz football jig head with the 5/0 Gamakatsu 5941 (http://www.barlowstackle.com/Gamakatsu-5941-Jig-Hooks-P444.aspx) with fg12 weedgaurd, AND painted brown???? You would not only be my hero, but also my supplier. Can I get a quote on an order of 25? 100? If I order 100, could you do, say, 25 each 1/4oz, 3/8oz, 1/2oz, 3/4 oz? Thank you all for your advice! Thats why I come here! -Mega Quote
