closing down the site

Guys,
I'm getting out of the jig business. With the new job I just do not have time to spend tying jigs to sell.Should make some happy and some sad.
I want to thank all of you that did buy last year while I was a member of the army of the unemployed .
I will be selling off some things like sickle trebles,hammered spoons,and my fluid bed and maybe some materials and jigs and will be post them on the swap board.
I will still be on here but just not in the jig business.
Thanks to all and hope we all have a great spring on the water:)
A special thanks to Skip who got me going and it turned into sales of my jigs

Hate to see you go but glad it is for a good reason. Best wishes with the new job and hope it doesn't cut into your fishing time too much.

Yeah that sucks for me. I tore'em up with your stuff last year... just went to your site today to grab some more and saw the bad news. Congrats on the job though.

Well it was a ride while it lasted.

Sad to hear it but glad to hear it at the same time if that makes sense. I'd be done with the jig tying biz about as soon as I had to stay home to tie jigs when I should be out fishing on the weekend. GO CATCH SOME FISH!!!! Or are you snowed in down there. lol

Good luck with the New Job. You know I for one hate to see you go. But best of luck and may your new Job work out for the best. If you ever get ready to sell hooks let me know.

No snow Russ, thanks for designing my website for me. Glad my brother used you to get his done.
With spring around the corner thats what would happen. I would be filling orders and would not have anytime to fish:D

Thats why I wouldn't want to own a sporting good store. I had a chance one time but if I had, my fishing, hunting and hobbies would be over... Just don't let work interfer with your fishun.

Hey just glad your job is going well and it must be looking like a long term thing for you.

Congrats and you were a good student for sure. I know that your target was landing a good job and it looks like that happened.

Skip

Hope you don't give up tying as a hobby . I can't think of anything more theraputic unless it is fishing itself.

On the other hand when I owned a bait tackle and gun store . I never fished so little in my life. It never bothered hunting all that much.

the old cliche goes as one door is closed another is opened. Lets hope that new job pay well and is something you enjoy. Good luck in your new endeavor.

back into medical.Not fixing lasers as I had been since the mid 80's but am fixing machines that process slides for pathology. Oh I still plan to tie for myself and maybe some close friends but not like I had been. Skip can atest to this. With so many orders and tying all day long it stops being a hobby and more like a factory and you have time for nothing else

Hate to see you go! Just really good stuff I have gotten from you , Best of luck with the
job, in these times good to know there are still some out there.
HAVE A GREAT DAY & LIFE

Harleyboy,
See you on the lake, will be around Terrys new dock and section of the lake this spring. Heading over next weekend,,,if it don't rain!!

lazerdoc is right on. I started this to have something to do when I quit trading the markets which I had been doing for about 15 years and looked around thinking I can not just watch TV all day and I just can't go fishing all the time. My back would never take that or I would have started to guide again I think. So just started to see if I could tie jig and catch fish with them. Well it turned into something I never thought of and at times it is much less than fun.

Now if I get a few days (very rare) I like to tie stuff for me and I am planning on doing some soon I hope. Want to tie some soft hackle flies and spider flies which are very similar.

Anyway if one works at a regular job I just couldn't imagine trying to do that and doing this too. Heck you would never have time for self and fishing or anything else.

Skip

i myself have just quit my job of about 5 years to try my life long dream of opening my own tackle store. Only about 3 around this area closest one is about 20 miles away.... so i am doing the opposite doc lol good luck.....

Hey good luck with that and I would love to do that too, but too many already here and too much money to do that right. Besides I don't want to go to a store every day and wouldn't be able to do it by my self with my back troubles. Heck every little store around here has a huge tackle section in it, plus a bunch of marinas all around this lake even if it does have 1200 miles of shoreline, LOL!

I wish you every good break and hope it is just what you wish for!

Skip

Dave, at least you know what you can do for a little money on the side when you retire!

Yes DOC. hope to see you, and tell me how you got all those fish in your boat ? ha
Hey by the way , I don"t have take off my lazer jig decal off my boat do I ???
Na think I'll just keep it on,
good luck to you !!

you made some killer jigs good luck with the new job sounds like you are one of lucky ones tight lines.

Well Dave,

I am sure that you will always do what is best for you and your family. Congratulations on securing a job when so many are desperately seeking work. God has indeed showered you with blessings. You do have great skills in the jig making business. I encourage you to continue to tie and create in your off time away from the job. I promise you it will relieve the stressors on your job. Have fun fishin and I'll see you on the water.

Mike

Thanks so much guys for the pats on the back. I will still tie for myself. Have to use up those materials I have somehow:)
Thanks again!!!
