About out of names to give my jigs. Pretty bad when you start picking guns and rock and roll bands These are all made with new age. Cool colors for sure!!

You guys on this forum do some really great jigs!!!
The question I have is, being a rod builder, how do you decide what
to keep and what to sell? When I finish a custom rod, I look at it,
think damn that's nice, pretty or whatever too nice to sell. That is why
I currently have over 300 rods in my basement besides the 18 I use
myself and the 12 wifey has. I realize you have less money invested in
one jig than one rod, but still.........................................

These just get tossed in to my jig box. I then post the picture on my website and if it sells I look at the pic to remember what I did. I bet Skips boxes are over flowing with jigs and he doesn't sell every jig he designs either

If you only knew, LOL! It gets so bad I have a lot of little plastic bags full of jigs to try that I keep in a storage box (not a jig box) of sorts I keep under my console. I did this because anything I put into a box may not see the light of day again and if I want it I may not be able to find it.

It is really not good,

LMAO, and I thought I had a lot of gear before. Thankfully I have a lot of stuff but a lot of different stuff, not hundreds of the same thing, except hooks of course.

I am getting there on my jig collection though. Having 11 different species to target with jigs and the collection starts to get large. But still I have a lot of different sizes and colors and such. Not too many of any one style or size.

As for deciding which ones I sell and which we keep when it comes to jigs and such. I will bet that the best are in some one else's hands and our miscues and odd balls all make it to the tackle box and not for sale. I know that it is that way for me. I keep the worst spinners, worst jig ties and most awful paint jobs for myself when I sell anything. Rarely do i ever get to keep the "best" for my own use. I catch more fish on the odd balls than the "sellers" but some of them would never be bought and if I sent them to someone they may never buy from me again unless it was a freebie.

I doubt that little box stays full long with all the kids you work with, but it's okay we won't tell :D:D:D

Me thinks all my jigs are flub-ups, some just more so than others - the more so's I keep and use.
