    Default Finally.....


    My latest project has been getting a mess of the big Lake Trout jigs I showed a week or so ago finished up. I just got the last one of 4 dozen tied. Got two dozen in the boat box already and the last of these shown here make an even four dozen that have a home in the boat. Lots of bucktail used here. LOTS of bucktail. And there's over 6 pounds of lead used in the 48 jigs. The boat may take on a list with all this weight on one side. lol

    I have a hard time justifying sitting on the couch tying jigs when the weather is decent but today we have a wind right out of hades. And rain is forecast for later. Ma had some stuff to do out of the house this morning so I had it quiet and figured this would be a great way to use the time.

    By the way Redge.....these weigh in at about 3 ounces finished. That's a 7/0 primary hook.
