Tjames09 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Looking at purchasing some hair jigs, but they aren't really sold at Bass Pro or any major store.
singingdog Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 What are you looking for (weight/style/species)? I may be able to help.
Moosebunk Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 SAIL has Judds (usually) and Spros! 1/8 to 3/4oz sizes.
bigcreekdad Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 I've been making my own for a few decades. Just need jig heads, bucktail (any fly tying outfit will have them - the whole piece of the tail is cheapest), a cheap fly tying vice, and a fly tying bobbin with strong fly tying thread. It's easy, and you can make them as long and thick as you want, in many colors, and can paint the heads any way you want.

I have several that are pretty naked of hair but otherwise still good.
ecmilley Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Go to Kawartha bait and tackle on queen st. In Lindsay. Jerry makes.them and has all that you desire
OhioFisherman Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 It can be tough to find good ones even here in the states with a bigger market, some of the people making them really cheap out on the hook quality. I used ones like this for years, they would catch just about anything, and some big fish for a 1/8th ounce lure. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Castlebaits-Bucktail-Hair-Jig-Olive-2pk-1-8oz-/112142913280?hash=item1a1c3d0f00:g:-VkAAOSwNRdX4SRX I took Uncle Josh pork grubs and threaded rubber from a koosh ball I took apart to make legs on the grub. Ebay has a lot of them listed, but most are USA locations.
Garnet Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 BJ Bait and Tackle Bewdley . Smittys Bucktails are the best. Black Gami hook. Nice Eyes and all the colours.
GBW Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Go to Kawartha bait and tackle on queen st. In Lindsay. Jerry makes.them and has all that you desire I was going to offer the same info. He'd hook you up on all sizes and colours too, just never with black for this area....

Weight between 1/8-1/4-3/8 Thanks for all the replies guys. Ive been in the lindsay bait and tackle, will he make them to the color and weight Im looking for?
OhioFisherman Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 I was going to offer the same info. He'd hook you up on all sizes and colours too, just never with black for this area.... LOL, ya black doesn't seem to work anywhere for a jig color.

Ive been in the lindsay bait and tackle, will he make them to the color and weight Im looking for? If he doesn't have in stock and it's a typical he wood make them I'm sure.

GBW Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 He also caries brands of lures the big box stores don't that are killer.
Garnet Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 His down fall is blind bucktails. No eyes! Which is fine with me, I like them a certain way that's not really retail friendly.
