Trishul: Please describe what you mean by jigs. 600-650gm is almost 1 1/2lbs or 21 to 23 ounces. Jigging a 1 1/2lb iron will give you shaky arms. I guess that's ok, you don't have to catch fish to feel tired from reeling ;D. Dominick
I'm not sure what you are looking for but there is a company called River 2 Sea that makes a jig called the Sea Rock which made one 700gm going down to 500, 300, 200, 150gm. After looking at their website it only lists them up to 300gm but one store that sells online lists that they have the larger models. Here is one color that they have, is this what your looking for?

These 600gm chrome banana pirks are available in the UK. They can be modified by sticking holographic tape on in different colours and patterns.Your brother could pick some up for you if he is prepared to accept excessive baggage charges ;D ;D

conchydong - 750 grams thats a bit t00 heavy f0r me at the m0mment but maybe i may change my mind and g0 with that if i can find a suitable r0d within my budget
irish jigger- the 0nes 0n the australia site seem diffrent,, he always ends up paying extra baggage charges as the 0nly half decent tackle sh0p cl0sest t0 me is in m0mbassa kenya (captain andys kenya) which is a 7 h0ur drive but i d0 make the trip s0me times
I could ship you a couple if you were happy with the postal charges.
most of the "jigs" I'm familiar with in that size range are old-school codfish jigs ("Norwegian" jigs). Back in the days of mono lines, 21oz jigs or heavier were pretty common. Now with the braided super lines, smaller reels, and lighter weight rods, lighter jigs have become popular when codfishing - I tend to use from 8 to 14 oz for about 100 - 200 ft of water.
(I'm going on a pollack trip in March where we are fishing 400' and we've been told to go no lighter than 16oz)
All that being said - Kilsong probably carries more metal jigs of more types than anybody else I know. you may want to check his site - jignpop.com
He's got pretty extensive experience jigging all over the world, so he may have some ideas on what you might try.
I've met him a few times and he's always been super friendly and helpful.
Most of the jigs in the 500+ gm range on his site seem to be norwegians, although I do see a few "butterfly" style jigs there as well.
irish jigger im n0t s0 keen 0n that style 0f jig that y0u p0sted the link f0r it seems like an 0ld sk00l jig
i will take a l00k at kils0ngs site 0n the jigs secti0n, i g0t s0me r0ds fr0m there last year but dealt with jane great cust0mer service they g0t check this 0ut i came acr0ss this site these guys are hardc0re t0 jig that stuff

go to google and type in "chinese fishing lure" and step back from the keyboard!
I types Chinese fishing lure in Google and the first hit was
http://www.chinalure.com/
True that the site provides some very cheap jigs, but on the first page i also found copies on several known manufactures of lures, among them a copy of Fathead Junior. I was also pretty shocking to find exact "1:1 copies" of both the Bulldawg, as well as the softbaits of our competitors!. But I can see with a half eye, that the copyist made a major mistake on the tail of the Bulldawg :), a good reason for bying the original.
