Any of y'all make or know someone that makes these locally? I'm looking for 1/24 or 1/32 ounce with #6 hook.
Squirrel tail jigs

I've been looking too but haven't had any luck... wanting some for shellcrackers. Use to slay them with black ones 40-50 yrs ago
That's exactly what I'm wanting them for
The only ones I ever remember buying are the Mepps ones.
I'm not sure if I can pour jigs that small with the mold I have. But I've got the equipment to make them if you don't find any. Let me know.
I was able to find 1/24oz jigheads online. I'm considering buying a fly tying kit to make my own.

Not local but should look on ebay... Seems to be a few that pop up.
Be careful. Like all things fishing, you will get hooked on tying your own jigs and will end up going down a rabbit hole. Have fun.
Who did you order from?
Found these on Etsy from a guy in Canton Ga.
You think the #4 hook would be ok? I would rather have 6 or 8
Yeah, I think it'll be fine. I use #2 or #4 when using worms. Keeps the little fish off.

I've tied a lot of hair jigs in my time and it really is pretty easy and fun with a basic fly tying kit. Paint and other supplies can be found at places like Hobby Lobby and other similar type stores or you can order online from dedicated fishing supplie sites
What thread do you recommend? I have absolutely no clue on thread. I've got the jig heads on the way… so for what I'm wanting, I think I just need thread, squirrel tail, chenille, and a kit.
Semperfli or Veevus will be top notch thread that will take some abuse. Semperfli nanosilk is incredibly strong.
What @nso123 said. Semperfli is great stuff and you can get a 100m spool for about $6-$7
Don't forget glue
thanks! I've seen some videos that glue is used and some where it's not.
Are there different sizes?
