Northland Gumball Jigs

[Chris Barlage]

I remember a few years ago that I used to be able to go to the Gander Mt. Lakeville location and buy these jigs out of bins instead of in a package. They had all colors and sizes in its own little bin and you could pick out the amount you wanted in the different colors and sizes. Then one day I went in there and they switched to all prepackaged. I remember that was one of the only stores that you could purchase them that way.

Does anyone else know of stores around that still do that.

I miss those bins. I was at the Lakeville store yesterday replenishing my jig box and was thinking about those old bins. It seems like the selection of colors and sizes is also lacking with them packed in cards. I will probably try to order some online from somewhere because I was looking for a specific color pattern that they were missing.

In their defense. The card packaged inventory is probably much easier to maintain and track with a POS system which equates to better accounting and less loss of product.

And probably a little higher margin

Some of the Runnings stores have the bulk bin that you can pick different colors and sizes.

Joe's off of 36 has them. Only place in town that I know of that still carries them.

I hate the ones in the boxes. You always end up having to buy something you don't want.

Joe's is a good option. You can also order direct in bulk from Northland's HSOforum. I only use a few colors, but buy them 50 or 100 at a time, and you can get bulk packs of individual colors off their site. Get gigged a little on shipping, but if you're stocking up and know exactly what you want, it's a nice route to go.

Scheels should have them.
