Apparently the blades cost double now what they used to as well, its up to a little over $2 for 10 blades. Football jigs work well in place of the hook/weight combo, though there are performance reasons you'd want one or the other (brush comes to mind - wouldn't want the football jig in brush if I had the other style with me.)I get everything lately through www.lurepartsonline.com because I really like the variety of silicone skirts they sell, but they require you spend $150 to get free shipping. That's a lot of silicone skirts to have to buy - but I find it fun, certainly gives you the ability to match the hatch on your local waters (so to speak). This year I got into tying hair jigs too - haven't fished with them yet, but i'm having a blast making them up with my 3yr old. I'm hoping to make up a bunch of lures this year and sell them at my local club's swap meet to at least recover the cost of the materials. If all goes according to plan I should be left with enough materials to still make quite a few for myself.</blockquote>
