making weights and jigheads

[justwant2fish]

So does anyonemake their own tackle? I ...well I mean we (my son and I ) do. We make jigheads and weights for redfishing during winter. Jigheads we do are for specs during summer. we also powder coat them also. We have got to where we can produce 400 jigheads in about 2 hrs . Its fun and he enjoys helping me do it.

Wow.....is all I can say. That is 5x plus what I can make.

Still looking for somewhere to get for a longshank hook with strong wire.

Where do you get your hooks?

Do some looking in the post......this subject has been covered a while back.

I find cabelas has the best assortment for jighead hooks. Now I had to modify my jighead mould for the eagle claw 2/0 hook. I will p.ost some pics later. I am able to get my lead from the shops that I work with.Old wheel weights. We use gloves and do ours all outside with a fan due to fumes. I made about 2000 sinkers last year up to 1.5 ounces.
