No worries JT
JJJ does some awesome stuff – flats – lots of talent – good luck……

Thanks guys and yes I can make most any color you want and they will last more than a few fish. Have had more than one customer tell me they had caught over 300 on one jig.

I usually can't catch that many on one before the wood fish gets them.

Sorry I had been out of town visiting my son for the week of Christmas and just getting going again after getting over the trip. Man I cam home and was so tired I couldn't hardly think, LOL!

If you have to have that pattern and you cant find someone to duplicate it, someone else had posted that a dab of fingernail polish or fly tying glue on the body close to the head takes care of the unraveling issue. I have not tried it but I have used the jigs and can attest to the fact that they do catch fish, but I had the same problem a lot of people have had with the Blakemore Slab Daddys, the body starts to unravel after about the 6th fish.

Have not tried them, but probably because I can tie anything they can and mine will hold up. Also don't know if they ever started curing their paint, but have used lots of their Roadrunner (before I started tying my oqn of them too) and the paint chips because it's not cured.

No one that buys a jig should have to put a drop of glue that the guy that tied it should have used.

Also the tying is pretty bad, but what do you expect of products from Hattie?

Skip

They sell these jigs around here for about $1.00 each and are not worth that much if they fall apart!

I agree with Skip you shouldnt have to do the finishing touch to a jig you purchase, Looked at some a Basspro and a few of them were comming apart in the package before they even got used,maybe they were a old batch and have improved since those were made.
