i make my own jigs using a jig hook and taking a small lead splitshot,splitting it wider with a knife[ so that the jighook fits in the crack better] and then use pliers to crimp the shot onto the hook. i make the size that i use and the cost per jig is under 5 cents. i paint them once in awhile using powder paint but when using tube jigs the head goes inside the tube anyways. hey it works for me.
