Charleston Angler (West Ashley) quoted me $52 per 100ct bag of Original TT’s. I ordered 3 bags to hold me over, just enough to take the edge off.

Thanks everyone. I found 3 more bags. Puts me above my goal of 500. Should be able to finish the season.
opti, I hear you. the 10x can really handle the pinfish and bluecrabs so no reason not to use them. I have a bin full of those baby blue bags that is always in the boat.
The casting comment was directed towards fishing the 10x unweighted.
Hey friogatto. Was that “deal” you got at Chas Angler a special deal or was that their regular price on 100?
“Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It’s Hand”, but really, who cares?
Was wondering what the best size jig head to use with Trout Tricks?
No special deal at Chas Angler. I believe that is their normal price.
The original recommendation from Bob Sanders was 1/8oz 3/0 hook. I had a hard time finding that weight/size combo so I use a 3/16oz 3/0 Gamakatsu round jighead. I also threw a trout eye jighead for a while. That would be my number two after the round Gama.
Does anyone have a good place with a good price for 3/16oz 3/0 Gamakatsu round jigheads? Thanks
If you are price concerned and fish regularly, you may want to look into pouring them yourself. Their is a BIG quality component market out there that is equivalent to Gamakatsu as far as hooks go. For 15-20 cents each, you can pour a year’s supply in 1 day.

What are the best colors for the TT? Don’t want to waste money on things that do not produce.
The Original TT only comes in one color.
Z-Man makes a bunch of different colors in the 10x plastic, Moon something or Ralphs Shad is the closest to the Original color.
If I had to use Z-man TT’s it would be something with contrast running along the length. Light on one side, dark on the other.
This is all just personal preference. Find the color that works best for you where you fish.
If your asking about jighead colors, none. Plain unpainted lead is what I use.
Mood Ring is the matching color.
I have caught a ton of fish on the Original but have struggled with the new ones.
Here is where you can buy the original for $5.99 a bag. If you don’t want to buy them in bulk.
