Wildernesshunter on this site pours 3 and 4 oz jig heads Pm him for shipping and pricing. They are nice. If you to a tackle shop you will pay between6-7 bucks for 2 4oz.

Andy1976 on the site also pours great leadheads and sells them for a great price if you have the time to have them shipped.  His are the triangular shaped ones and they're powder-coated in what ever color you want and they have great eyes too.  Last time I bought them, they were $1.50 for 4 ounce plus shipping.  He uses the USPS flat rate boxes and you can get a couple dozen shipped for just a few bucks.

I'll 3rd andy1976's jig heads.  He nearly ran outta gas at last year's red barn event so I swapped him a couple gallons for a couple dozen jig heads.  I haven't used them till recently but the hooks are quality and some of the 4 oz jig heads had massive hooks with a nice wide gap, they're the only jighead I've found that was able to reasonably accomodate a 8" swimbait and still keep a legit profile on the bait. 

Now that the season is upon us I think we need to organize an order.

I'm also interested in buying leadheads from sizes 1oz to 4oz and then some bigger 10-12oz ones for offshore rockfishing.
I'll go in on a bulk order to save $$$!

+4 on Andy1976 jig heads and plastics being the best all around. Andy gave me a few jig heads last year at the RBC2 and like Mike said really good quality. Caught some big lings on them already and the season is just getting going. I pour my own plastics but will say that Andy's plastics are far better than mine and better than any commercial product, IMO.

Hes been pretty swamped with work lately i dunno if hes goin to arw. I kno were plannin a family fish an chill this month u guys can try tho. An a group deal isnt needed to save money with andy guys he cuts the ncka crew an incredible deal. Lesser quality jig heads cost twice his price. Its just a solo run project so hes not really a mass producer. Give it a shot tho

Yup, Andy is the man. I picked up two dozen heads from him at GS6 after not picking up enough at Red Barn last year.

+1 on Andy's jigs, very very well made, better than I can find in most stores!  I also picked up some good deals on Ebay for smaller ones too.
