Francis,

Is it possible to order from you and how can I pick them up. I think you mentioned in a previous post that your close to Olney. Is that right?

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the comments! I will be putting together a price list today. Trust me, it will be cheaper than most people are charging. I am simply trying to do something constructive while watching the caps game! Now, if you want something special with a really high dollar hook that I have to buy in packs of 25 and not 1000, the price will be different.

I will get everything together today and post later.

I live in Silver Spring and work in Olney but travel to Solomons frequently to fish, so I can meet anywhere pretty much for a drop off/pick up, or, I can mail them to you.

I will get back with a price list later today. Thanks guys!

I really like your idea of forgoing the frills and selling in bulk, Francis. Why spend a fortune on jig heads that you're just gonna lose anyway? Hope you sell a ton.

My preference is for the thin shad type heads, the second one down. I think the thin, sharp design cuts the current better and gets to the bottom faster. I also think it presents a wider profile when the fish sees it from the side, and there's more room to be creative with color, eyes, etc.

My second choice is the triangular "thick shad" type right below it, for similar reasons. That's the most common high-end style I see. They're getting on up to $3.00 each at some shops.

I'm sure there are advantages and disadvantages to each style. I've seen you slay some hawgs on those round ones but damned if I can figure out why.

Good luck!

For the round, just dip a nail in some jig paint and apply the eyes with a small dab .

Here is what I have as far as a price list for you guys. This is bare bottom when you incorporate costs. I am only trying to charge you for what you get, which is why the large hooks cost more, eyes cost more, hooks cost more. They are just more expensive.

This is all subject to change, of course, but it's my starting point. I think the prices are pretty fair after I incorporate all costs. I lowered the prices for bulk because in all honestly it's just as easy and quick for me to make 100 than ten. Please let me know what you guys think. I am obviously very open to feedback. I want to make jigheads you all will use and eventually buy so I am open to any and all suggestions.

Right now, my colors are basically white but I am open to all colors. If you want something special color-wise let me know. I don't think color makes a bit of difference so I not opt to make any except white unless you want them. As I have said before, I keep all mine unpainted for personal use.

Thanks!
