Having poured 1000s of pounds of lead for jigs and tying up 100s of them, there are basically 2 routes you can go down.
1. You can pour the jigs yourself, powder coat them, tie them and there you have it.
Pros: you get exactly what you want, on a larger scale it is very cost effective
Cons: There is a significant upfront cost and it takes time - a precious commodity
2. You can buy the jigs either plain or pre-painted and tie them yourself.
Pros: You can most likely get what you want and the cost is very effective (cheap)
Cons: If you are doing smaller batches, this is the route to go. On a larger scale, it can very expensive quickly.
Places you can go to get both the molds, hooks, powder coat, tools, materials and even painted jigs are Barlows Tackle, JannsNetCraft are my two favorites, but there are plenty more sites. I bet you might even be able to find pre-poured unpainted jigs on eBay.
