[cool][blue][size 1]Hey, lady, howya doin'? You guys getting ready for "soft water" fishing already?[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]If you would like to send me a PM, let me know what kind of fishing you do most, and whether you will be adding plastics (what kind) or making up decorated jigs with them. That's the first step. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Jig heads for plastics will have a small barb built into the head, upon which to push the plastic so it will not slide down the hook. Jig heads for tying feathers and other decorations will not have the barbs.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Then, there are the shapes. You can get everything from plain round heads to "minnow" and "shad" shaped heads...to flats, triangles, etc. Probably the best place to start is with a mold that can turn out several different size heads...from 1/32 to 3/8 oz. The good old round heads are probably the best all around, but that will depend on the type of fishing you will be doing most.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]By the way, what catalog did you get? As I mentioned in another post, be sure to get the one from Barlows and compare prices before you send any money.[/size][/#0000ff]
