Where are the jig experts?

Does anyone in the Edmonton know where to get custom jig bodies made?

Thanks for any help.

What type are you looking for?....

Wholesale and The Fishing Hole have have several varieties and colors...

I've looked at cabelas here and in the States. TFH and all the obvious places.
They use to be common patterns but I can't find them anymore so I thought I'd have a bunch made.

X2 what exactly are you looking for? We've got some pretty resourceful folks here :)

for custom colours it may be easier to tie your own bucktail version of the jig you liked. Just a thought

Not looking for anything spectacular. 4" twister tail in singles and doubles. Black body with a yellow tail(s) and a yellow with red tiger stripes in the same configurations.

These use to be my fail-safe, go-to, never-let-me-down Walleye colours but I went to buy more a couple of years ago and couldn't find any anywhere.

Unfortunately, I threw out my last ones of each as they were pretty well chewed up so pictures aren't possible.

There was a gentleman advertising in the buy-sell but he hasn't responded to my pm's.

Have you checked out Maki Plastics?

Have you checked out Maki Plastics?

I'll try them too. Do they make jigs normally? I don't want to have to say for someone to make a mold for something so common, it's just the colours I'm after.
Thanks for the tips guys.

Go to Shoppers Drug Mart and pick up the colours of your choice in nail lacquer/ nail polish. Pick up some clear coat and you are good to go.

Neon, metallic, glow in the dark...they've got it all and quality pigments as well...

Go to this site
http://www.do-itmolds.com/home If you need jig molds.
They have a hundreds of jig molds and jig hooks and may have what you would like.
I have several of their molds and they are excellent and extremely well made.
I have been using their molds for 30-40 years. They are very reliable to buy from.
Also remember that Aberdeen hooks are a short hook and usually a light wire and O'Shaugnessy hooks are longer and usually a lot stronger. I mainly use Eagle claw hooks. I only use O'Shaugnessy hooks by Eagle Claw. They are inexpensive but very good and I believe they are made in the USA. I'm not positive but I think all the other brands are made off shore. Beware of cheap imported hooks. I use only the brands that DO-it molds sells and have never had a problem those those brands.
If I knew what you wanted I could maybe be of more help.

I think what he was buying is www.actionplastics.com, cheap and good action.

Also worth a mention is Kalins grub, one of the best in my opinion, Zoom makes great product(fat albert, paddletail). There are a lot of companies out there that make great soft lures, search em out. The above is what i use and it works for me, no expert here but i do have a fetish when it comes to lures.
