IF I can make the hair work right and look right I hope to have one none of you have seen, well not in a while anyway. I just have to get it to come out right, 27 times.

I took my swap jig prototypes on a trout and bass fishing trip the last few days.Tied just one of each,big mistake as I usually tie at least three but tying time was limited. One bait they jumped all over it. I caught a 16 inch brown, one largemouth,two smallies,two huge goggle eye and a black crappie before a nice smallie snatched it about 6 feet from the tip and I broke the line on the hook set,Guess I got too excited and set the hook to hard with light line.When I got home after unpacking I tied up 30 of these baits,27 for the swap and 3 for me. I would have tied more but that's all the jigs in this color that I had painted. Water was stained and high from recent heavy rains and the fish were hungry,sure liked this bait and I hope everyone else does too.
Are You using some new head's or color's ? got in a truck load of chenille tonight gonna play all day tomorrow! This is My 2nd 1000 post in 1 week!
I painted some jig heads tonight for the jig swap. I think I'm gonna call this jig the "Dirty Panther" I won't show you the completed jig, but here are the jig heads. Hope you guys like what you see so far.

Now Ya using My Kind of color! Hawg looks' like You got Them babies ready for battle.
Got some mighty fine lookin jig's from Mr. Miller today nice work A.W.!
I was using a 1/12 Phatboy jig that I poured on a #4 red sickle,three colors of powder paint,two color eyes,new color chenille and some kind of hair that was custom dyed. I just received another custom mold earlier this week and poured several hundred heads this morning.I'll paint some today and bring them out for the next swap. I figure I'll have a month or so to try them out before the next one. These heads are cooool.
For Criminy sakes, I haven't even finished my design yet and you already have a couple that are gonna be done. I work to darn hard on doing these things just so they can be destroyed by a few dozen slabs that would be oh so tasty on the grill with some lemon and butter and some tater wedges and crawdad salad and, and, and........................
I guess it is worth it after all since I am drooling. :D:D:D
That sthe way to build me up and let me down Jim:( I have caught some real slabs from the jigs you did from my swap. ThanksQuote:

I wasn't planning on showing what I'm tying, but I can't make up my mind. Already named the "Dirty Panther", I'm not sure which of three prototypes to pick. So......tell me which one of the three you guys like. Thanks!

Hawg,you can send me one of each to check out or try them all and let those slabs decide.They all look great..Dr fish,ran out of the uniorn lashes last week,sorry about that,but I may have some star dust or frog hair around here somewhere if that would help. I'll trade ya for some dodo hair.I'm glad someone's using some of my jigs.Congrats on those slabs fishing buddy..With a month to go I have plenty of time to change my mind again,and again and well you get the idea. These 1/24 minnowheads are tempting me,calling me. I'm addicted to these swaps.
Thanks JJJ for the compliment.
Any opinions? Hello....anyone out there? :D

I found micro purple glitter for the gloss,over the pumpkin brown and i call it pbj"very nice color"
My swap#9 jig is called "Dream Weaver" by the way" it is crochet over top of lg.chartreuse metallique chenille then i pick, and pull the fibers up through the weave"making for a nice wooly bugger look against flo.chart/blk.#2 chenille i wove over top of it.
I hope everyone likes it, and is able to produce some nice catches for them...!It has a pearl grn. 1/16oz. nickle plated head on a #4 sickle.My gift to you all for this swap"
Jeeeeesh" cant use my p.m.'s", "no similes!"...how long was i gone for god sakes???

Hey hog my vote is for the top one. That is not a combo that many fish have seen I bet. Looks like it would be a good one for the muddy water times and a good troller.........my 2.......brimQuote:

JJ
Jiggin_Joe, I don't think I'm up to the task of tying three for everybody....but thanks for the compliment.
brimreaper & crappiekiller3, I think I'm gonna go with the one's you guys liked. I was kinda leaning that way myself, but it's not a typical color combo. You guys sold me on it.
Oops did'nt mean send all three I meant any of the three would be great
JJ
Hey grub Give Me a call click on My web address at the bottom of My signature go 1/2 way down home page the page that opens look to right there's My # I'll be up till mid night.
Basic Math .27 a yard x 24 = $6.48 + $2.00 shipping = $8.48
WHAT ABOUT THE TIME IN CUTTING IT UP," AND RUNNING IT TO THE POST OFFICE???NOT WORTH A DOLLAR AND A HALF?"NOT TO MENTION THE SAMPLES, FREE BEES I ALWAYS SEND TO EVERYONE"And that's not to mention me asking every one whos a part of this to take turns in choosing colors come there turn in rotation"...besides all that"some one would have to do it for every one right"? I even asked evryone would they like me to send them the order come ther turn so they can have the advantage of getting the free chenille for them self"So"ya see,ah Basic math"has nothing to do with the true matter at hand here"no one has complained so far ,and everyone of them keeps asking me to do this for them"Honestly"flat I make no profit other than the free chenille unless the skeins come up short"which has happend on occasion"I eat that too...!:)Thanks"Quote:

No blk/pink/silver your colors are blk/pearl/white Blue/chart/red flash both of which are on their way to you as of today. The last clown colors flo pink/flo yellow/blue crystal got divied up between all of us. I hadn't heard from you by the time it came in, so what is coming to you is what is mentioned above. I will be ordering more of the clown, in #3 in the fall, will keep you in mind. You should see your order by tuesday at the latest.
Thanks,
Grubs

Can't find a hook to fit the 1/8 side of the mold, so better send
me some VMC 2/0 (100) with the sickles. I believe that's what you used.
Keep the Slab Stacker busy!!!!!!!
