(5) Offer more choices Only thing to choose as listed in the AD, is hook size.
Sure, down at the very bottom you say to contact you for other colors. Why? Why make it another step for the customer? Make it easy for the customer.

Set the ad up such that:
(A) select jig size.
(B) select UP TO 3 colors. Make the color selection a drop down menu. That gives them options within the package price. They select 1 color= you send 24 jigs of the same color. They select two colors= you send 12 of each color. They select 3 colors= you send 8 of each color.

Granted these are only suggestions, do with them what you wish.

Thanks for your ideas! This is kind of what I wanted to do but Etsy, the website I am selling on does not offer ways when you list an item to have the price the customer pay be based on the options that they choose. I think I will start trying to sell my jigs on eBay. It may cost a little more but more people are familiar with the website and I would be able to set it up more like you suggested. Thanks for your suggestions again they are very much appreciated!

P.S. I didn’t realize that my link wasn’t a hot link, but I fixed it!

I would like to respectively disagree on these two topics, and I am not saying that I do not care about these kids safety.

1. The issue cannot be solely gun control, if someone wants to get a gun they will get one, even with the strictest rules on guns. I think we need to focus our attention on preventing people from going crazy first. Also I am a high school student and would LOVE to see eligible teachers have a choice to carry a gun.

2. At what point does this get out of hand? according to this logic you should separate every one into little rooms and lock them in there for good, provided they get their necessity’s to live. This keeps everyone safe, but then people have almost no freedom. Sadly no one lives in a utopia and no one ever will.

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”.

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!

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!

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 know you are looking for a certain size and color of jigs, but I would just like to inform you that I have just started to try and sell my jigs online and I would very much appreciate if you or anyone else would checkout my Etsy shop:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/589003368/fishing-jigs-25-pack
I would be very happy if someone gave me any suggestions, constructive criticism, or ideas about the shop or my product, and also SUPER happy if someone bought some jigs, but I don’t want anyone to feel like they are being pushed into anything. Thanks!
