New Jigging Pole and 1st Tied Jigs
I went to the tackle shop to pick up some jigs and found out a man is making The JD Courtney Special Rods. I just had to buy one. I skipped buying jigs since have more than I can use already. You guys know how it goes. This is a 10ft rod that the line goes thru the center of the pole. No eyes. I have used many different poles before but with one of these you never wrap the line around the tip. Also my jig tying kit came in from BP. I tied my first 2 jigs. They are not perfect but will catch a fish. I am ruined now. It only took a couple of minutes to do. I can't wait to catch a fish on them Thursday. Here are some pictures of the rod and jigs. Look out Skip.

Pole looks awesome. Nice first jigs, they will hunt. I am not even going to try that with my fat fingers.

Congrats on the new pole.. looks like the one you were showing me the other day at the launch.. Jigs look good also.. Practice makes perfect and before long you will have them like you want... I made a few years ago, but raising 4 kids, i didn't have much time to get it down like i wanted.. I may have to get another kit and give it another try.
You can't fish with a hung line!

Yes I am finding that out. I tried one with squirrel tail and used too much and it is too big. I mixed in some silver flash and it sparkles really good in the light. I will make another one tomorrow with half the hair. It should turn out good.
