How to Make SUPER SHARP Jig Heads for Cheap

In this video I show you how to make your own custom jig heads with the hook of your choice. These are much sharper than standard jigheads.

Thanks for display. I have been using this method and powder coating since 2003. Great jigs.

Super cool way to create jigs!! Thanks for sharing!!

That's a cool way to do it. I've always poured my lead jig hooks.

Better than a do it mold. Great job.

Great idea!💯

Yes awesome tip. I've done that a lot to make jigs. I use parallel jaws pliers for that. They were marketed by Shakespeare for fishing, but they're handy for other jobs too. Rubbercore sinkers in lighter weights are good for making weighted streamers on long shank hooks.

For anyone looking to try this, it works great. Instead of using pliers for the final smash, I used a table vice with 2 flat sides. Using this gave me more control over how much pressure to put on the jig. I noticed that using pliers made them slightly slanted, which probably doesn't matter but the table vice gave it a uniform flat surface.

This is great! I tie flies already but lately it’s been pretty rough getting material! There is virtually no thread and specific hooks/beads are hard to find. I’ve been hitting the craft/sewing stores!

They also make lead and tungsten beads specifically for going on these types of hooks. Even beads that turn non jig hooks into hooks that ride point up.

I’m going to be doing that

[@danayo8852]

Since the bend is not 90 degrees will your jigs be maintain a horizontal position? Your work is outstanding!

[@Delarosa631]

This is awesome! How well do they hold up??

I’m having a hard time finding collarless jig heads for sale in bulk. I’ve browsed Amazon, eBay, Walmart…. Random google search… where do you recommend a cheap way to buy 50-100pc packs of jigheads? (1/16 and 1/32 are the sizes I’m looking for)
