www.do-itmolds.com should get ya what ya need.
If your time is worth more than $2 per hour, you can buy jigs in whatever size, color, shape and with a good hook for less that 20 cents if you look around. Rather than sink a lot of money into molds, paint and hooks, buy them and spend your time putting on feathers etc yourself.

To me, making jigs, etc is for fun. If you want to use your $2hr argument, you might as well go buy your fish from the market!!:)
Heres another good source for supplies.

If ya do decide ya just want to paint shoot, me an e-mail docurly@coffey.com, most do-it molds are 34.95 which turns into 42 to 45 bucks delivered, but if pour'n and paint'n is your thing that is the place, Jans is pretty high on stuff you can usually get the stuff from the 2 big guys catalogs.

phishin,
I can understand the fun. Just remember, if you do it, make sure you do it in a well-ventilated area. Lead poisoning is nothing to mess with. Yup, you can get it by breathing in vapors.
Good luck with your hobby.
