I see you fish in the Puget Sound for squid. I have made some jigs like those, it really isn't that hard to make. How I make mine is I use old bic pens, take out the ink and cut the shell to the size I want. You can use nail polish or glow in the dark paint to paint the body. As for hooks I buy them from Jon at www.squidjig.com, he is located in Auburn, Wa. To add weight to the jig, I use hollow core lead coil, the ones used for drift fishing, and add that in the pen shell. To put it together, I use a stainless steel shaft that is used to make fishing spinners.
