Why do metal jigs cost almost the same from every Chinese factory?
Short answer
Our sample of 5 listings runs US$0.97 to US$2.01 per piece.
In detail
That 2.1x spread is the second narrowest of any type in our catalogue, and it is narrow for a structural reason: a jig is a lead body with a finish and some hardware, so the cost is dominated by one commodity rather than by a material package or a colour range.
The numbers behind this answer

| 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 |

|---|---|---|
| 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 |
