Jig Swap #25 Sign up

OK everyone here we go with the October Jig Swap! It's my first time to host so be gentle.

***With the air and water temps starting to cool down fall is fast approaching. What is your fall/early winter time....put fish in the boat....put meat on the table the family's hungry jig? If you had to have fish and could only tie ONE jig to take fishing what would it look like? ***

Nightprowler said it so well I'll stick with it.

**Another thing that will be encouraged is to show off your jigs when you get them completed if you would like or any step along the way. I know we all like the surprise of opening our package when it hits the mail box. But it also makes a fun swap when you can check in often and see updates of what people are tying. If you still want the surprise, just don't check the forum as often. We'll see how it goes.**

1. Sign-up runs now through Oct 10, 2011
2. All participants should complete and mail their jigs by Oct 24, 2011 (2 weeks)
3. All tyers are welcome to participate. Don't worry about your skill level
(We all started somewhere) Just show us what you got!
4. Jig Size will be 1/8 ounce and smaller.
5. Jig may be constructed with any natural or man made material.
6. I will send a PM to each participant after the deadline has been reached and
let them know how many jigs they need to tie and where to send them.
7. If you have never done a jig swap this is very helpful http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-s...swap-jigs.html

gator bait, i haven't recieved you mailing adress yet. i almost have my jigs ready to ship. thanks, jeff

Fnished mine up this week. The order was for a 'put meat on the table' jig, and I know one guy who fished every day for three months straight with this file scheme. He always find do well, he just never had a reason to change. I also had tremendous success on a similar plastic jig with the color on the top and bottom instead of the standard front and back. So I came up with this.

Hope they do well for everyone.

You guys are on the ball. I haven’t even decided what head to use...lol. I like your go to pattern and can see why he wouldn't change. Nice Job!!

guess wat i wwill look like when i am done? Attachment 71473Attachment 71474

OK everyone...you should all have the address to send your jigs to in your in box. If not let me know and I'll resend it. I tried to send them all as a batch and that didn't work...so I sent one at a time.

Sorry it took a few days, mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I sent Misty to NE to spend a week with her. I've been running ragged here running the property myself this week. She will be back next week.

Yellowjacket, try putting a piece of white paper behind the subject and then take the pic. Mine did the same, it's a focus issue. hope this helps. Looking good everyone.

Mailed my jigs today. Tied some jigs that seem to always catch crappie.

Hope everyone is coming along well on their jigs. I had something come up and had to leave town.

My wife's mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I flew her up to Nebraska on Sat the 8th and ran the property myself for a week. Then she passed away early Monday morning. I threw things in the truck and drove to Nebraska and helped get things ready for the services.

We plan to be back in Baton Rouge by Tuesday the 25th so I should be able to put the jig packs together and mail before Halloween. My jigs may not be very inventive this time, but I'll try to tie something next week.

Sorry to hear that, Gator. I don't think anyone will mind if you take as much time as you need.

Hate to hear of the news. Take time with your family and our thoughts and prayers will be with y'all.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. Take time to be with your family and don't worry about the swap. If you need me to tie up some for you, just let me know. I finished mine up this morning and can whip up another set if you need it.
We'll be thinking of you,
NightProwler

Mailed my jigs out today.
Attachment 71975

Mine will go out Monday no later than tuesday sorry about holding things up.....

No holdup...should be just right as we should be back home in Baton Rouge Tuesday. I can throw something togather and get the packs in the mail by Saturday. Friday is auction and that's always a zoo.

OK everyone...we just hit town. Man...what a rough couple of weeks!

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, it means a lot from my "fishing family".

Here is what was waiting for me...and I hope the rest are mailing today or tomorrow.

If Stumpsticks jigs show up Saturday I will mail Monday.

Stumpsticks' jigs did NOT show up in today's mail. The rest are ready to drop a Stumpsticks jig in each pkg and mail. I'll try to see when they were mailed.

There were some extra jigs due to dropouts so I invoked "host's proactive"... kept a few and put an extra couple of jigs randomly in each packet

Got Stumpsticks jigs today while I was fishing at Chicot State Park. I'll drop one in each packet and will be ready to go in tomorrow's mail (while I'm er....fishing). The first fish caught was a nice bream on 1fishmike's jig...little sucker hit it like a 5 pound bass. I'm off tomorrow also and will probably try some others!

Jig Swap #25 complete and in the mail 11-1-11! Thanks for letting me host...it's been fun guys!

I received my jig package yesterday. Nice work everyone, they are some talented tyers here.:)

I received the Oct jigs and they looked great. Gator Bait did an "OUTSTANDING JOB" as host. I was disappointed to see so many dropped from the swap but I realized everyone is busy. I contacted Tsdunigan about the Nov swap, but have not heard back from him yet.
Thanks again,
NightProwler
