Received my jigs in the mail today and man do they look good. Everybody should be proud of their accomplishments. I was really impressed by some of the designs and have already started to copy some of them that I want to fish with. Good Job everybody and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Received today. That is what I am talking about for a variety! Has to be one that will get these cold hearted fish to bite here.

The mail finished off my plastic box, oh well, I figured as much. Will have to find a couple good metal ones for the next swap I do.

Hey y'all .... here's a pic of all the jigs!! If you'd like a large sized pic of your jig (or any of them) send me a PM with the user name of all the tyer's that you'd like to have.

Enjoy! I know I will!

This recommendation is for everyone..... I've joined in on several swaps and have found that the containers really aren't necessary if you try the method below......

Go to the department store and head over to the office supplies. Look for the 6x9-inch bubble wrap cushioned manila envelopes (they usually come 5 to a pack). These are what I use for my swaps.

They have plenty of room for me to stuff in another of those bubble wrap envelopes inside along with my jigs.

Now what I do with my jigs is after sticking on the toe tags, I just put them all into ziploc bag. Roll up that bag and it stuffs nicely next to my return envelope.

Seal the bag and mail away. Now you don't have to worry about those containers!! The bubble wrap protects the jigs just like the container would.

Hope this helps!

I had thought of that AW but I was worried that the hooks might somehow get poked through the envelope and wind up getting in trouble with the Postal service. I ship a lot of them in the basic brown envelopes without padding but I use some thin cardboard or card stock to staple the bags to so they don't move. This way there is no chance that the hooks can get a wild hair and catch a postal worker.

That is really some fast turnaround time for those packages. Glad to hear it - based on that, I'd say the rest of you should see yours Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

AWMiller must not have received one of my jigs because I did not see it in his pictures.
