GRAMPA'S FISHING JIGS
Was fishing better in the "good old days" or did some of the old fishing jigs actually work better? We don't know, but we can reproduce a few of Grampa's old fishing jigs for you to try. Most jigs ONLY 75 cents each for a single color! (minimum $20.00 order)
(Please remember some of these fishing jig molds are quite crude compared to modern standards!)
(These prices will really make GRAMPA smile)

All GRAMPA HAD TO FANCY UP HIS JIGS WAS A FEW CHICKEN FEATHERS & SOME PAINT!
LESS SNAG - The fore runner of the modern day Walleye head fishing jig. The angled sides on this fishing jig were supposedly to make it more snagless. Produced using early models of Do-it "Sportsman's" mold model "JLS-7N-A".
Head only / no collar in stated weights as follows: 1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 & 5/8.
Rock Fly - Another fore runner to the modern Walleye head fishing jig. The jighead casting is much cruder than the "Less Snag" fishing jig above but it has a collar. Produced using early model Do-it "Sportsman's" mold model "J65B" with stated weights as follows: 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2. This fishing jig head has the hook eye is well to the front of the jighead so it should not hang up in the rocks too bad hence the "Rock Fly".
Round Jig - Roundhead fishing jigs cast from early "Sportsman's" model Do-it mold model "J67RA" feature a straight collar in stated weights as follows: 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/16, 3/8, 3/4.
BABY JIG - ROUND BALL fishing jig heads cast from an "old" Do-It MANUFACTURERS mold model "J66SR" a double sided mold which casts 8 X 1/16 size on one side and 8 X 1/8 size on the other. The fishing jig hooks eye placement is well to the front of the fishing jig head so it is not center balanced! No weights are marked on the mold so the weights are approximate.
1/4 & 1/8 ROUNDHEAD - Now known as ROUND BALL head fishing jigs these are cast from another double sided Do-It mold model "JNR-12-48" which casts 6 X 1/4 Round Ball fishing jig heads on one side and 6 X 1/8 oz Round Ball fishing jig heads on the other. This fishing jig will be close to center balanced as the fishing jig hook eye is in the center of the jighead as is the hook shank.
1/8 Round Jig - 1/8 oz Roundhead fishing jigs with plain collar cast from another "old" Do-It MANUFACTURERS mold model "J67R18". The collar is placed towards the top of the fishing jig head on this one compared to being relatively centered on the newer models and the fishing jig hook eye is centered on the round ball portion if the jighead.
