Members jig fisher Posted June 30, 2011 Members Posted June 30, 2011 Anyone know of some good small bait shops or individuals who make and sell some good tackle? I like buying from small businesses and local guys so please help me out with some names, contact information, and websites if you have them. I think it would be good to get a list of guys in the Ozarks because it would help people like me find them as well as help them get business. I am primarily looking for bass fishing gear/tackle. I would prefer places in the Ozarks/Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, but if you know of a good tackle maker that ships their goods I would not be opposed to that. Thank you and sorry if this has been asked before but I searched for a couple of hours and did not find it.
gotmuddy Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 zigjigs are based in ark, flatheadjigs are made in MO I believe. Jewel bait company is based in bakersfield, mo. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
DChance Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 They don't make their own tackle, but sell the best stuff on the market at pretty good prices. The Ozark Source in Cuba MO. also go to www.theozarksource.com, but I noticed they don't show everyhting that they carry on their website.

tjulianc Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 P.J.'s Finesse lures is based here in Fayetteville, AR. http://www.ejigs.com/ They make the best finesse bass jigs that I have found for smallmouth bass. Also War Eagle Spinnerbaits are based in AR, and Norman Lures was, but I don't know if they still are. Ardent makes reels in MO. And Falcon makes rods in OK. I love my Ardent, Falcon combo.
