It looks like it. A couple of weeks ago the 4 and 5 oz sizes were on backorder. Looks like he now has them in stock.

For the bucktails, he has a disclaimer on the order page that "sorry, we are no longer taking orders for these bucktails"

I think the guy who was making them basically couldn't keep making them as cheap as Tim would like to sell them--lead has gone up in price, and when you add in dying the hair, painting and baking the heads, tying, I guess it wasn't cost-effective for him to keep doing it.

The ball jigs are plain lead and there, it's just a question of melting and pouring.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
