It's no wonder
« on: March 20, 2015, 12:31:34 PM »
that swing jigs cost the buyer so much.  I've been making up some.  Not only do I have the cost of the wire forms and hooks, they are more difficult to mount in the mold than a regular jig hook, they are harder to paint and keep paint off the hook eye and wire form, plus they are longer than the average jig so they take up a lot more space than a regular jig when put in the oven to cure the paint.

I'm sure glad I'm not trying to make a living making and selling them.

We have a retired CSM out here in Clarksville that makes ours for us.......

I'm getting mine for 1.15 each for a 3/8 or 7/16oz with a 6/0 mustad hook.
Is that a good price for these?  (hmm)

If it takes him as long to do them as it does me, that is a heck of a good price.

That is what I sell mine for at Whopperbaits.com. $1.20 after your 10% member discount or $1.13 for sponsors and premium members.

I recall a post on another forum about the trouble getting everything to stay in place when pouring the swing jig. I will try to locate it but there were some good tips on making pouring them easier.

On a side note, I have thought of the option to pour them without the hook, thus giving you the ability to attach any hook and size you want via a split ring.
