Like the Northland ones shown here:

All I can find are the new style ones which I don't care for, shown here:

Looking to buy about 3-4 dozen of 3 different colors in 1/4 oz...


Thanks-

Dave

Hmmmm and here I thought you were asking how to make your "own" jigs.

This looks like a good one. See below. If I am not mistaken it was similar to the one that was used to win the FLW Tour Detroit River event a few years back. With plastics of course.

Thanks- I'm more interested in the thin design than the little blade.

Sorry, Jayman- I didn't get my nickname from my extreme vertical jigging prowess.

Vertical Jigging? I never would of guessed. I always thought your nickname came from the bunny in that movie with the deer.

I might have a name for you, I got some jigs similar to that a few years ago and it had some contact info. Not sure if I saved it. I'll look tonight.

Thanks guys, but I'm looking more for the thin, current slicing design. I don't care about the little blade too much. I was trying to find someone who maybe pours their own. I go through quite a few. It's hard to see from the picture in the link I posted, but the heads are only maybe 1/8" wide on a 1/4 oz.
