With how expensive these little jigs are where are you guys buying in bulk for cheaper? Maybe there really isn’t an alternative and I just need to suck it up? Just sucks when you get bit off by a pike.

Last year I order some from Drop Zone fishing. I was a little worried about the quality at the price point. Needless to say I was impressed. I’m going to put in a much larger order this year.

In the past I used Kenders outdoors. Have ordered from them for many years. The last I looked their cost was up to over 3.00 a jig. I think last year at Drop zone I paid around a 1.00 each. I also think the hook on the drop zone ones were better.October 23, 2023 at 1:28 pm #2231892Well thats pretty slick. Do you have any idea what the weights are per size? I can shoot them an email too. Its weird they only post size and not weight.

Most Tungsten Jigs are not sold by weight size. Just MM size. I normally use the 4MM about 80% of the time. Sometimes when the bite is really tough, I will downsize to the 3MM. If the bite is fairly aggressive, or in deeper water I may step up to the 5MM.

October 24, 2023 at 2:36 pm #2232157That did work out! Ordered 40 jigs. Half 5mm and half 4mm. Did really well with 1/16th last year and they say 5mm is the same.
October 24, 2023 at 4:05 pm #2232171to be honest with you i would check places like craigslist and marketplace. I once found a guy who worked for clam. he was some sort of sales rep and his garage was absolutely filled to the brim with tackle and other products. He switched to a competitor and couldnt keep all this clam merchandise. I gave him $180 for 2 plano boxes absolutely jam packed with tungsten jigs. this was several years ago so i cant remember what the count ended up being but i think i ended up with over 200 jigs for that price.
Another time i purchased a tackle box full of tackle (mostly crankbaits and hair jigs) for $15! Was probably a few hundred dollars worth of stuff at the store.

DTAlways have to get in on a good deal!
October 31, 2023 at 8:59 pm #2233602Nothing wrong with Amped Jigs but it’s hard to beat the overall quality/value of Widow Maker Lures. They have quite a few proprietary profiles and they’re all reasonably priced. Really sharp hooks and great paint jobs and glow. They sell kits too. Widowmakerlures.com
November 6, 2023 at 7:35 pm #2234489Got some jigs and plastics from ADK a week or so ago. Impressed with the colors and quality.
