Does anyone know where I can get some Bob Young jig heads?

I'm asking for a friend who is trying to locate a source.

Thanks

Saw this from last year...

Mr Young died. His Widow Ms Ellie is still making a few. She has been sick lately also. I had her phone number but can't find it now. I waited almost a month for a few jigs from her back in November. A lot of people swear by his jigs. I personally could not tell they were any better than some of the other ones available on line, or some of the ones I have been making myself.

My friend said his wife wasn't making any jigs now so I appreciate all your replies and info on these jigs. I will pass this on to my friend.

I had a guy from Alabama send me a few jig heads that looked like these and asked me to replicate them. All I did was take a ball head jig and cut the nose to a "V" and it looked just like his.

I tried with two sets of pliers and one set of cutters.... couldn't replicate it. What kinda pliers .... pictures? Thanks for the info.

You can take a bench top grinder and do it. Ive done this for a few years

Here is the Channelock Dikes I use



here is what it looks like after the cut



Maybe I am totally off base but this is what I was asked to reproduce and I'm not even sure it is the same as the Bob Young jig heads.

I hope this helps.

Im no expert but from what Ive seen the BY jigs were a wedge shape,kinda like an axe,as described earlier.

Thanks CJM. 'xactly what I was lookin' for.

This looks familiar?

His heads were sure different as I have had one in my hands before. I don't think it really matters though as I have made a lot of guys the same style with either a round head or some with a minnow head and they have come back for more and told me they work just great.

I have made so many with that style and see no end to guys wanting them.

I'm the one that tied those two tone in that pic. Send me an. IM if interested in some jigs

Those look like the jigs i have. Bought them at lake Fork marina many years ago. Bob Young jigs were the best back then. My fishing partner bought me and him several hundred back in the day.

I've sen these heads advertised somewhere but don't remember where
