For anybody intrerested in making homemade icejigs check out Janns Netcraft, they have all you need to get in the game for very reasonable prices. I have been playing with this for several monthes I started out making basic jigs like Dot, Moonglow or whatever verticle presentation jigs you are after, now I have progressed into making jigs with a 45 degree angle like the Gill Pill, or the Gill Getter. Guys these jigs are insanely easy to make the blade of the jig has a break or bend in it where the hook lays then you simply solder the hook in place. Right now I am making my own homemade Gill Pills that cost upwards of 1.75$ a piece and I am making them for about a nickel a piece. I know money is tight at my place and am sure it is the same across the board so this is One way to get the hooks you need/want for much less money. Happy jig making, take care. Bubba.

Yea man its pretty cool, I got an order for 16 bucks and have enough supplies to make 500 jigs, minus the 200 mess ups,lol. Its really quite easy and I am not a handy type person, so if I can do it I know anybody can.

That sounds pretty cool. Might just have to order that kit, plus there was already some stuff I was wanting from them.

Me and my buddies all make our own jigs. We try to work together so that we can save as much money as possible. We try not to double up on paint colors and we do alot of jig swapping. It's fun and saves ALOT of money.
