Waiting to try.

While I recover from hip replacement I’m ordering a few things.....even though I told myself I wouldn’t....LOL. One item I already have in is the Daiwa Gekkabijin SW SS OG 1 gram #8 hook jig heads. I can’t imagine a better hook up rate than the other Gekkabijin jig heads I have but as many who know me I just love to try different things. In case one is wondering they are as sharp as a hypodermic. Once I get on the water will give full report.

I really like the looks of the jig head and the way the hook is opened up.

I like the looks of those... did you get those from Plat?

You bought him out lol :D

Looking forward to two things. You being back in business and the report on those jig heads. Sound like you’re doing well, and that’s good news.

They look good to me!

I hope you are doing well, I am going to have a hip done shortly, love your reports!

Hope you are on the mend fast, need some more videos. I am really whacking the deep Slabs now, and a 1/32 lite wire head with the Unitaka 3lb braid is still holding up. I still break off a few jigs each trip, but you gotta get down in the nasty stuff where they are hiding.

wishing you a speedy recovery on the hip. that jig head looks good. looking forward to the report on it.

look mighty pretty ,one thing of concern though is the paint on the eyelet .
I notice it has a sharp point or 2 inside it and might cut light line .
get well soon bro

Good eye...that is their marketing photo on website. Nothing like that would make it to the Japanese stores. Since you mentioned it I am surprised they even used the photo like that. Here is what the jig heads look like. I was just too lazy to take my own pic....LOL.

SK I'll send you 4 packs of Daiwa jigs, you keep 2, and tie me some gold and gray jigs on the others. Deal? I can sweeten the deal, name your price. LOL
You have talent. :cheers2

That would be one deadly jig there.

NICE! Looks like the eye is completely closed so you can use a small diameter line?

@Alphahawk : I am just going to have to buy a jig vise, whip finisher, wrapping spool thingy, the rest of the paraphenalia of it all, some supplies, and learn from SK's videos.

I just hate losing the jigs. I kayak-fished for trout in the Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam Sat morning, using little Rapalas and Trout Magnets, and caught several nice stocker rainbows and a brown or two, but boy, did I break off a bunch of Daiwa jigs. Dollar a pop.

Once you start tying your own jigs its an addiction hard to break. A good addiction though...lol. Good thing is you can make whatever you desire.

If you are losing a lot of jigs, might want to look into pouring your own heads?

I hate it too. I figure Ive lost about 7 a week or so since spring fishing started. Some days I don’t lose any. Last fall when I was killing the crappie from the bank I think I only lost 2 in two months. The next few months my loss rate will slow down due to the areas I’ll be fishing. I figure I’ve got 700 jig heads in the garage....and I order 20-40 packs every other month. I’ll be giving a few away on the channel. But I sure don’t want to run out.

Very enticing offer but my time is so limited I'd hate to commit and it take forever for me to finish....
I've had so many ask to buy my jigs it's unreal but at the present time I'm not able to do that....

I agree totally with SuperDave and I know you'll enjoy tying...... Like said it's addicting.....

I fell into the pour, paint, tie thing close to 10 years ago. Wish I had started sooner. Once you source your materials and refine your methods, losing one doesn’t hurt near as much. I’ll help anyone through the learning curve that wants to try.
