If you will make 1 oz. size and put the biggest eye on it that you can get; I will take 50 at $5 each. I do not like red eyes though; must be golden or charturse.
Leave my heads unpainted. I like silver.

The one thing that needs to be pointed out is that while a big 1oz tungsten jig is probably possible it will come at a higher price than the 3/8-1/2 size for sure. weight prices alone will give you a better idea. I will take 50 anyway.

I think I live just down the road from you, so I could come by and just pick some up and save shipping. When will they be ready?

It's not too tough to find $4 lead jigs right now so i'd definately consider paying a little more to reduce head size while retaining the weight. I was ok paying $5-6 for the LFT tungsten jigs although I wished they had used a different hook.

I think It depends how you fish a jig. I fish jigs in structure and once it hits bottom, I'm looking for the next target to dissect. If you are dragging the bottom, then definitely try it out. I wouldn't think of replacing all my jigs with tungsten for that reason, but I can see having a few for feeling the bottom.

No one has a problem paying more for tungsten bullet weights. demand will dictate pricing.

No one has a problem paying more for tungsten bullet weights. demand will dictate pricing. And possibly the lack of demand will raise the price just to keep them available on the market. Lets just keep the price at $5* it's a reasonable price for this option.

Lets just keep the price at $5* it's a reasonable price for this option. Price of the tungsten, hook, and skirt material. I doubt $5 will be actual price. That would be little to no profit for any manufacture.
