Got another box today with 120-130 strand jigs. I've already caught some nice ones on the craw colored jig like the ones on the right. I can't wait to throw the black/blue jigs.
where did u get them they look pretty sweet
Yes indeed where did you get those bad boys
Nice!!!
That is definitly a full skirt.
Those look...not to quote Napoleon Dynamite or anything...flippin' sweet.
OOOOO! Daddy likes!
Look like my custom made ones i get.
Look good. Where did you manage to get that many of them?
Those are some nice looking jigs.
are you gonna trim those skirts down or do you fish them like that ?? i trim mine down to probably a third of that , nice looking colors though
I too would love to know where you got those jigs at...

Francho, this is a family friendly site. please refrain yourself.
flipin4bass, me including over 500 people are waiting to hear where you got the bloody jigs.
Sorry bout not getting back, I trimmed a couple of the jigs, but for the most part I like a longer skirt. The guy that made them doesn't market these jigs, he makes them during the winter months when he's not out fishing himself. I met him through another friend in Illinois and was able to talk him out of some. He's an old timer, sort of a local legend around where he lives and is known for turning a lot of kids on to fishing. He's kind of hard to talk to sometimes if he doesn't know you but if you get him talking about getting envolved with kids he warms up to you. His wife is a lot easier to get to know. Anyway, his name is Bill and his number is (PM for Number). It's easier to get ahold of him on Saturdays afternoons and he goes to bed early. He pours his own jigs and uses wide gap hooks which I really like. I gave him six bucks each for his trouble and IMO they're worth it. I've paid 5-6 bucks for store bought jigs that are not half the jigs these are.
It's interesting how different people see the same object through different eyes.
Without trying to be critical, the jigs pictured display three features that I personally dislike.
1) I'd rather see the eyelet located on the nose of the jighead where it can easily shed weeds.
2) Big is fine, but high strand-counts make a dense bulky skirt, which I would definitely thin out.
3) The hook is not a "round-bend" hook, but more of an O'Shaugnessey configuration.
Rick Clunn once stated that "round-bend" hooks contributed a lot to his tourney successes.
Rick claims that slappers (bass that don't engulf) are more likely to get stuck
on the outside of the mouth by a round-bend hook.
In any case, all my skirted jigs use a round-bend hook

True, those look awesome, but I think they are too thick. I like Buckeye Mop Jigs, the skirts aren't massive and dense like that.
That really is a beautiful jig though.
Hi, not trying to tell you what to do. But i would take his number down. If anyone wants it they can pm you for it. just my 2 cents.
** Good suggestion, the number was removed **
Thanks tcroot, point very well taken.
Very, cool jigs, I was thinking sbout making some of my own some time...

Everyone needs to oat themselves on the back sometimes..
What does oating myself do? :-?

These are football jigs, and I prefer the line tie at 90 degrees, to protect the knot. I'd have to see the skirts in the water, but 40ish is usually enough for me. I'd definitely lose the weedguard. Lacking that, the wide gap hooks work well with the 90 line tie.
Those are 45 degree Mustad Hooks 38109
I was never an expert on hook styles but I like wide gap hooks on a jig when I can find them. When I visited this guy I noticed he had large bags of Mustad hooks hanging on peg board behind his molds; does anyone know where you can buy hooks in bulk like that?

sounds dirty
Come on brushhoggin it is getting a little unfriendly here, we need another "Refrain yourself" comment. :
Nice Jigs but to thick for my tastes. I think they would be a good hot summer jig though
I've stopped buying jigs from other people.. But pouring and painting my own jigs is a pain in the arse so I just buy boss jig heads in bulk and tie my own skirts... I can make 60+ jigs for about $125
That's like 2 bucks a piece and I get to pick how long, how many strands, what colors, and so on. Plus it gets me in the fishing room and out of my wife's radar for a while. and since i live over seas it's cheaper than buying and shipping marketed jigs. plus i just like fishing something I made
These are the heads I use
