    I pour and paint my own jigs and have started trying to sell them online. If any one is interested they can visit my Etsy shop:

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/589003368/fishing-jigs-25-pack

    I know I only have one listing now, but I am in the process of producing more jigs. I would very much love if anyone just took a look at my product and shop (or maybe even bought some jigs); along with that if anyone gave me some constructive criticism, ideas, or suggestions I would be very happy. I am not trying to push my product on anyone but feel free to buy some jigs! Thanks!

    What kind of hooks do you use? If you came up with some more colors I will buy a pack or two from u. I done like buying 25 of the one color. Multi color pack would be great. I would buy it to give u a little support

    Nice looking product! I’m no expert, but it may be tough just offering traditional ball jigs. It seems like folks are looking for the ’next’ evolution of jigs. Maybe consider a unique shape, etc. You know what they say, “new fangled tackle catches more fisherman than fish”.

    Love the color, but need 1/4 oz for walleyes- with a 1/0 or 2/0 hook.

    Also, maybe offer option to purchase 10.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have decided to not sell them in tens because I make more money from selling them in larger amounts because with each purchase someone makes I have to have one bag and one bubble mailer for each purchase, no matter how many jigs they bought. I may try that in the future if selling them in packs of 25 does not work. Also once I sell a few I would like to buy a bigger selection of hooks to make bigger sizes. Thanks again though!

    I am using 575 Eagle Claw hooks – #6 for 1/32oz #4 for 1/16oz and #2 for 1/8 oz.

    Thanks for your suggestion, your comment is just the kind I am looking for! I 100% get your point about buying so many in the same color, and have started to make some more jigs to fix this. What colors and sizes are you interested in? I can make solid colored jigs and 2 tone. If you would like I could also add some eyes to for them: black, red, or a combination of the 2.

    The colors I have:
    – yellow chartreuse
    – green chartreuse
    – white
    – black
    – purple
    – blaze orange
    – hot pink

    Sizes I have:
    – 1/8oz
    – 1/16oz
    – 1/32oz

    Thank you again for commenting even if you do not decide to buy anything, it has definitely helped me go in the right direction!

    You have a good point I think. The problem with that is jig molds are expensive and I am kind of tight on money. At the moment I am a busy high school student involved in athletics and what not, so it is hard for me to get a job to earn money, but I am hoping to get a job this summer to solve that. Your comment is much appreciated, thank you!

    You can buy a blank jig mold and make your own design or talk to you metal teacher and see what he would have for materials for you to make your own jig mold.
