Thread: Fall Jig Swap Sign-Up

Crappie jigs mailed this morning. Thanks for hosting, Scott.
One thing I neglected to put in my recipe - shine on jig body is Sally Hansen.

Well I didn't put the ingredients in any of my jigs. Being a beginner, I stuck to the basics. Everything I used is self evident. If I find some crazy combo between know and the next swap (yes I will enter more of these). I'll make sure and do that. But for now I just hope every one takes my jigs with a grain of salt. If you find some of these jigs in the back of your box or pack this time next year, PM me and I'll get you my address to ship them back

Your to hard on yourself. You should have seen my first jig. If I can find it I'll post...MAN..it was AWFUL! Looked like a horsefly with a big bird tail feather out the back!!

As of today I have received these to MUCH excitement!! My wife even sat down with us and looked through and was very impressed.

Will be posting pictures of the individual jigs tonight I hope. Waiting to see if more come in today. Thanks so much for the gifts guys, it is MUCH appreciated!!

Bob (snake), thanks for the note and cards. Boys have the cards taped in their boxes already!! The wife was very impressed by the letter. Will have to get with you sometime on the paint. I have never coated any heads...so ours will be silver...but would love too try!! Not getting any out until organizing starts, boys were wanting to the glow jigs out SOOO bad!!

Eddie (jigman), The pink is AWSOME!! I love the combo!! I'm a pink man myself. The last swap I was in I did a jig I called the pink panther. Agrihawg dipped my heads in pink (fluo), pink marabou tail, and black body. Going to have to get some flash like that...never used any but loving it after seeing yours!!

Vernon (pepop), Loving the ruby reds...on our local lake...Lake Greeson, the ruby red minnow (alive) is the GO TO bait by two guides on the lake. They are also members of crappie.com. I would have to say these are some of the most REALISTIC jigs I've seen...the coolest part...well...you'll just have to wait and see what pepop did!! Great idea!!

Soooo....are you all salivating yet?? Just thought I'd throw a little taste out there BEFORE the pictures. Please don't hate me. It'll be WELL worth the wait. Will try to get the pics up tonight of the above and whatever comes in today.

I will tell you one thing though. These make me want to do two things...first, hide my flys and buy some to send Guys for real...these are AWSOME!! and two, work really hard and tie alot more often so mine will look somewhat similar to what these guys have done!!

Again thanks for joining and can't wait to see the rest!!

Got the boys on some of theirs last night. The 13 year old did great on his first, had a little trouble with the whip finisher...but he got it. The 10 year old VERY excited and wanted to tie all night. Did great but we need to get his wrap a little tighter...I was really proud. They told me not to get the mail today because they were going to get it!!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, kind of a crazy day at the shop and wife had a Princess House Party, so 4 kids and I had a "soup bowl" night. "soup bowl" meaning the ice cream bucket in the frezzer with leftovers in it. Veggies, noodles, and meat + crockpopt = good cold weather supper (easy). Not trying to advertise for her but if your wife or you like to cook, man this cookware is awsome!! If you ever hear of someone having a party check it out!

OH man, I cant wait to see these things. I'm so stoaked about this new hobby. I'm about to drive the wife bonkers to the point that she DEMANDED I go fishing tonight It's going to be cold (low 20's) but dangit I'm going!!!

Where are you at in OK?? The radar is showing ALOT of rain coming through your state...maybe some thunder boomers. Be Careful! We won't get the full force of the front until tonight. Take the coffee mug!!

South of Tulsa about 50 miles off hwy 75. almost to Okmulgee. It got here last night about 6:30 and buddy let me tell you temps dropped30 degrees in 25 minutes! Going to Eufaula Marina. They have a heated dock but close the inside up but the outside is open. Honor system still used here. Big Slabs in Eufaula. My personal best is 2.7 lbs.

Bundle up Scrapper. It's a good one!
