Pieta are you not perhaps referring to commercial marine ? Mad mullet had a website and are on fb.

Without doubt, Colin Parker is your guy to contact. these guys make the best jig heads I have used and at fair pricing compared to the imports.
I think Tommo uses them a lot as well.

Will be for sure cheaper that Nitros . MM are made in SA , so cheaper that to import i Quess ...

the Couple of Nitros I have , are thicker gauge hooks , I use mine from the boat .

The MM are a whole range , but generally thinner gauge hooks , For surf and river use dropshot/Paddletails ideal . I prefer the ball head jig , but have a few 'shad type' shape too , you could just buy a few eyes and epoxy them to the 'blank' jughead too .

Thx Lenny. I have had some extremely dodgy jigheads in the past so I've tended to stick to the Nitros with their Owner hooks despite the exorbitant price. I tend to use jigheads mainly for Kingies so hook strength is a huge factor for me.

Guys, for those keen, get in touch with Shaun at madmullet. Apart from the heads that are on the website (mustad hooks and generally ok for estuary and lighter surf use), they do one with owner hooks which they supply to some of the operators in Seychelles that are better priced than the nitros (and always lekker to support local). I placed an oder about a week back to top up supplies. think they do 1/2oz 5/0, 3/4oz 5/0, 1oz 5/0, 2oz 7/0 and 3oz 7/0 - . Also good to see that they have given thought to the application of the heads using hooks with wider gaps to ensure more clearence out of the plastics.........
I hear you guys on tough lessons with cheap heads

Felt a bit under gunned with the small hooks , but they ate your PD like theres no tomorrow they chewed every colour you sent me [ used the Nitros as per my Post up top]

The ones I got from you , IMO are for fast fishing ,leeries and Elf , Kingies ext , and I just threw them for Kob , so I , can't really tell you .

Good to know, happy to hear the Paddles got eaten. Busy building (collection info and sourcing suppliers for now) a CNC milling machine, this means that soon, (as I figured how to work in a CAD program for idiots) I will be able to design my own lures and cut aluminium molds........ So, if you guys have something in mind, maybe tweaking or twisting a fav lure, lemme know?

The first thing I have to make is a "kick-lever" for one of my bass baitcasters as it is deemed too old and I cannot get a replacement part, so I will cnc it, soon!
