I have never used any before so any advice is welcomed.

4oz jig heads, bring at least 10 in case they get stuck on rocks or kelp. Halloween color is good or anything that looks tasty to you.

On eBay, search for the seller with a handle "jkfish524" who sells quite a variety of the Big Hammer bait at reasonable prices.

Wing shooter makes a really nice swimbait. I was really impressed with the shape. Pm him he may have some made up or do them custom.  I've got jig heads including a 6,8,$10 oz shad head.
Hi Andy,
I am so impressed by quality of your jig heads!!!
Do you have a bulk sale 4, 5 or 6 oz?
How much?

OK so I have a question... What color?
Hey Sarge,
I would say it your color choice depends on what you are going after and where. If you are going to go after rockfish on the central or north coast then here are a few Big Hammer color options to think about. Keep in mind that there are plenty more to pick from that will work just as well and some folks might argue that after a certain depth colors don't matter as much as we tend to think they do..
Jig head weight and hook size is another important consideration to maximize your success..I also like Andy1976 for quality jig heads at an affordable price. I like to use 2 & 3oz for calmer conditions and 4+oz when dealing with more current or wind.:smt006

Anybody in to trading Big Hammers for jigheads or mooching weights?

Im going to be pouring some 4oz jigheads with 9/0 hooks here soon too

I have lots of 2s, 3s, and 4s with up to 6/0, 7/0, & 8/0 hooks.  Several colors with different eyes options.  All jigheads have been baked for 45 minutes as well to prevent chipping.

Andy1976 does have great jigheads too.  I just like making my own custom colors that match well with the swimbaits

I have 4's and 6's no fives. I really don't do bulk pricing. I've got my price as dirt cheap as i can do them. I used to do them for two dollars each but dropped the price to help norcal kayak anglers out. Thanks

Thanks Big hammer has been a very good supporter for norcal. The best price I've found is direct on their website under closeouts.  You can Google big hammer or sunrise tackle. Ravensblack I'm sure also knows where to get the best deal on them.
My 4's Are $1.50 each and $ 2.50 for the 6oz.

You wont find better quality jig heads than what Andy makes. Then throw in the great price and you have it all. 2 Kalins 4 oz jig heads are coupled two to a pack and they sell for around 6 bucks at the local tackle shop here.
