That's a shame, he is a great guy and made some great baits.

If the jig in question used a common mold it can be duplicated by several custom jig makers.
Custom mold, then it’s more difficult.

PS, Lot folks lost the lives in Paradise fire, most lost their homes and everything else they had.

He had his own molds, the arkie was very similar to the old Weapon style arkie head. But to Tom's point he used thread hand tied jigs with good layering. Feel free to HMU in the DM if you are looking for Arkie, flipppin or Football heads.

Try California Reservoir Lures. John is a good dude and makes some great custom jigs and they are hand tied upon request. He is in the process of moving and hasn't set up his new shop yet, but will be underway soon. His website has everything you need to look at to see what you want.
