Title: Gamakatsu lead head jigs
Post by: huston on August 02, 2006, 09:39:27 AM
Someone help me out here, please. Where can I procure some Gamakatsu rattlin and non rattlin 60 degree flat eye jig heads in 1/4, 3/16, & 3/8 oz., (tapered head) and also some ball heads, 90 degree, same size in Oakland or Wayne county. I know about Laketown, Mike's RX and Wayne Carpenter. Does any of the major outfitters like Dicks Sporting Goods, Gander Mountain, Sports Authority carry these that you fellas know of?

You can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods and Gander Mountain in Novi. Dick's is in Fountain Walk Mall and Gander Mtn. is right next store. I was there the weekend of July 15  and bought all of the sizes you mentioned. Neither place had everything but between them I got everything. Gander Mtn. carries Bite Me jig heads made with Gammys, I think 3/0. I got rattlers at Dicks, I think they were made by K and E, with 4/0 EWG Gammys. [If memory serves.]

Just so you know, I went there the weekend of July 8  and neither place had ANY 1/4 oz tapered jig heads made with Gammys, so it is hit or miss.

South street tackle in belleville always had a good selection.  They had the best selection but I haven't been there in two years since I started pouring my own leadheads.

I found the Jigheads at Gander Mountain in Novi. The bite me brand are cool. They had an ample supply. They even had the rattle type. I was looking specifically for the flat eye type. They move different in the water. Good fishin dudes and thanks to all.
