Our five sampled listings run from US$0.97 to US$2.01 per piece - a 2.1x spread, the second narrowest in the catalogue - so shopping on price across suppliers will not produce a meaningful difference. What differs is the weight band, the shape, the finish and whether the jig arrives rigged. This page is the entrance, not the whole answer. The technique-level detail - which weight for which depth and current, how glow is specified, what an assist hook has to declare - sits in our slow-pitch metal jig brief, and the hook specification sits on the hook type page. Read this page to choose a supplier on specification; read those to write the specification. Our metal jig sample holds 5 listings between US$0.97 and US$2.01 per piece.

Shimano's LEDGERUNNER took the ICAST 2026 saltwater hard lure category - a jig, in a year when soft plastics took both soft-lure awards. What moves the unit price A narrow band does not mean a simple cost. It means the cost is dominated by one commodity. Cost driver Why it moves the price How to control it in the order Lead or tungsten by weight The body is bought by weight, so the metal price is the largest single input and it moves with the commodity market. Quote the price at two weights to see the slope before committing to a weight range. Weight range spread A listing that covers 20-120 g carries more tooling and more stock than one that covers a single weight. Decide whether you are buying a range or a weight. The price is different. Finish Glow and laser etching are separate steps; a plain painted body is the cheapest option. Name the finish per colourway rather than as a general instruction. Rigged against bare An assist hook, a cord and the labour to tie them turn a body into an assembly. Quote bare and rigged separately and decide which one you are actually selling. Hardware Solid rings, split rings and welded eyes are small parts with their own corrosion requirement. Name the corrosion standard for every metal part, not just the body What the five sampled metal jigs cost Reference bands per piece, aggregated at build time from the sampled listings. Weight range is quoted from each listing title. Sampled form Reference price MOQ Deep sea slow pitch jig, 20-120g US$0.97-1.85 / piece 200 pieces Water-drop slow-sinking jig, 40-100g US$1.16-1.53 / piece 200 pieces Multi-colour red-eye small jig US$1.39-1.82 / piece 200 pieces Laser-design sea-fishing jig, 30-100g US$1.48-2.01 / piece 200 pieces Shore-casting jig US$2.00 / piece 100 pieces When price is flat, these four fields decide the order The band is too narrow to differentiate on price. The differentiation is in the specification, and three of the four fields below sit outside the lure itself. Field Why it decides more than price here Where to read the detail Weight band 20 g to 120 g is the same mould family at different fills - and it sets depth, drift and species Our slow-pitch metal jig brief carries the weight-to-situation table Hook and assist cord Often sold as a bare body; the hook is a second purchase with its own gauge and cord The hook type page and the terminal tackle brief Glow and finish Glow is a separate process step and a separate SKU, not a colour option Finish is specified per colourway Weight of the metal Lead is bought by weight. A 120 g jig carries roughly six times the metal of a 20 g one This is the one cost line that a narrow band hides Questions buyers ask about metal jigs from china: the narrowest price band in the catalogue Each question has its own page, so it can be found and cited on its own. Why do metal jigs cost almost the same from every Chinese factory? Our sample of 5 listings runs US$0.97 to US$2.01 per piece. What is the MOQ for metal jigs from China? 200 pieces on four of our five sampled listings, and 100 on the fifth. If the price barely varies, how do I choose between suppliers? Stop comparing price and compare the specification. Should I order bare jigs or rigged ones? They are different products at different prices. What weight range should a first order cover? It depends on whether you are selling a technique or a weight. Does glow really need its own specification? Yes. What is the difference between a slow-pitch jig and a normal metal jig? The fall. Are Chinese metal jigs good enough for saltwater? The body is a casting and castings are consistent. What to send for a comparable quote Fields a factory needs before the answer is a quotation rather than a guess. Field Why it changes the price Weight in grams The single most important field on a jig; it sets depth, drift and target species Body material Lead or tungsten; tungsten is denser so a smaller body reaches the same depth Body shape Slow pitch, water-drop, shore-casting - each is its own mould Length in mm Decides how the jig reads at range and how it packs Finish Painted, foiled, laser-etched or glow; each is a separate process Glow performance Charge time and visible duration, if glow is claimed Hook specification Whether the jig ships bare or rigged, and the gauge and gap if rigged Assist cord Length, material and breaking strain where an assist hook is supplied Eye and ring Solid ring, split ring or welded eye; decides the failure point under load Pack format and count Bare bodies and rigged jigs pack differently What to agree in writing, and the tolerance to name On a jig the weight is the product. A gram of drift changes the fall rate the angler paid for. Field What the order has to state Tolerance or standard to name Weight Target weight per piece, and whether it is measured with or without hardware Name the gram band. Weighing rigged jigs gives a different number from weighing bare bodies Finish adhesion How the finish is tested Name a tape or abrasion test; painted jigs are where finish failure shows first Glow performance Charge time and visible duration State both, or the glow claim means nothing Assist cord strength Breaking strain where the jig ships rigged Name the strain and the knot used Salt-spray hours The corrosion standard for body, ring and hook Name the standard and the hours, or the saltwater claim cannot be enforced What we have not verified Fall-rate and flutter measurements: we hold none for any jig in this sample.
