Death From Above (8/14/2008)
Anybody know a retail source for the gig heads made from stainless thread or does anyone want to sell me one. I want one bad.Do the gigs that you are looking for have the barbs cut into them or does the thread act as the barbs? I seen the video of the guy in Texas using gigs made from 3 lag bolts but I wasn't impressed with their ability to hold a larger fish.These are the ones that I use and I have had them for 8-10 years and never had a problem.

| Like these. They didn't get washed good the last time went ( 2 wks ago ) so they a showing a little rust. A few jabs in the sand and few fish and they will shine right up BTW They are over 10yrs old. 
They are not the prettiest things ( welding with old SS rods ain't very easy when your not a welder)

| 9.75....Yes.....like those. I've never used one, but heard you can't hardly shake a flounder off of one of them. They are ugly, but I bet they work. I don't know shit about welding so making my own ain't gonna happen. I think I got a line on one. 5 prong.....Those are nice. What I use now is similar, but 3 prong SS. I don't lose one very often, but it does happen.

Oh my gosh. Those are stinking nice. A whole heck of a lot prettier than anything I've ever stuck a flouner with!!! How much do you charge per gig head?

That look's like a Billet Alum piece. Pretty Damn Nice. 
Look's like you do things the way I do them. It's got to be useful and it has to be extra clean.

| Thanks guys, I try to take pride in anything I do, I work at the papermill and build them on my spare time. As for as cost, I haven't ever sold them so I don't know what they are worth. I'm not on here to make money, just to make friends. So I don't think they would be very much, whatever you guy's think.

I am not sure what they are worth but I know the ones I bought from Academy were 10 bucks and they are not that nice. And they have the barbs which I dont like. But if you will take 15 a peice I will take two.

Dizzy Lizzie's in EPH has a couple of threaded 5 prongs with stainless poles and grips. They are on consignement from a guy who makes them. I think he is asking $150. Sounds expensive, but you need to look at it to enjoy it's quality!!!!

Hey guys,, I've been building flounder equipment commercially for a few years now . I make stainless steel gigs out of 3/8 inch high quality 18/10 stainless steel rod. The bends are Heat/Oil treated to give them incredible strength. I offer a life time replacement warranty on them.
I also custom build them for any use,, these gigs hold fish despite the lack of barbs,, We can't use barbs here in TX, but if you'd prefer barbs I add them at no charge. If you like more prongs or a custom shape I can do anything. check out me site http://www.coastaloutfitter.com/Texas%20Gigger%20Prices.html
