Yep, alot of differnt places to get them or make them yourself. I have played around with eye placement and not to sure it matters. grin They look neat either way...

Also not sure who put the eye at the back first? Probably one of those deals like who invented the hamburger... whistle

Heres some I made, some have the opened up hooks some dont...

Nice jigs cloud....how do they work?

Im a bit of a recovering jig junkie - I probably have every jig thats been made in the last 25 years! crazy But the last few years I have settled into a half dozen that get used. I make/paint alot of my own and the dart is a keeper. Confidence is a huge key when it comes to jigs and I have confidence in it. But really it's no diff that any horizontal jig, ie - marmooska, ybd, skeeterbug, ect...

It does fish heavy and has a great hooking percentage...

Dark Cloud, those jigs look great. I ordered a bag of unpainted ones and would like to try painting myself. Did you put the detail work on with one of those pens?

Thanks Dave

I have used the fine point sharpie and they work well but I prefer to use the acrylic paints you can get at craft stores in small bottles. For eyes and stripes i'll mostly use tooth picks or a fine point brush. Trim em down for the bigger eyes and use fine point ones for pupils and stripes.

After the detail work I give them a coat or two of a spray shellac.

olbaidhh, It is a store on the big auction site. If you punch "shad dart jigs" into the search engine they will come up there. There are 80 some different hits for it so you just have to look for what you want. I ordered 12 of the silver and gold ones in a size 10 for ten bucks. I also looked at Grizzly's Tackle and they also have them, however I was not impressed with any of their prices. You can wald into GM and buy diamond or devil jigs for cheaper than they have on that site.

All right ! ... thanks everyone. These have got to be it. I must have the Grizz version. My hooks look a bit different then some though ... like they are bent down a bit and more rounded.

I am going to bend all of them the way the silver one is that i have circled in the pic... that one is deadly on the hook set for crappie.

3.99 ? I haven't paid near that. But they are HARD to find.

"Grizz's Darter Jig

12 glow color combinations. Absolute bluegill killer. Hard to find. These sell out fast! Three jigs of one size and color to a package.

Price $3.99"

Olbaidhh,

I found some of these at AAA Sport Shop in Spooner, WI. They said they will ship/mail product out to people, and it didn't sound like they charge an arm and a leg to do it. Their phone number is (715) 635-3011 if you are interested!

Hey guys. That looks like a cool jig to try out. Well after reading this post I tried searching for the jig myself and I came across a sight. Don't know if it's what you're looking for but the prices are way better than the Grizz's so thought I'd share it with you guys.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
