Most of my jigs are tied on #2 #4 #6 sickle hooks.  I have a guy that pours to my needs in OK and he does a wonderful job.  He really knows his stuff with cleaning the lead to get the supreme finish on the jigs.  Most jigs are minnow or round head and the round head I typically mash the sides flat to allow the 3d eyes to make it round again.   I also paint and cure my own jig heads.  The walleye head jigs I buy out of Canada they are hard to find in the states and get a good jig again the hook is everything on a jig in my opinion.  I'm pretty particular about my hooks so when I buy jigs, they pour what I want.  I'll even send them the hooks if need be. 

Going crappie jig testing tomorrow.  1/64 oz on a bobber, Dogwoods are in bloom it should be a fantastic day of fishing.   Tomorrows jigs

Are those tied onto Rock Chuck jigheads?  Best jigs (imho) for canadian shield lakes.

hey wow......these are simply awesome. Like mini works of art.

I'm diggin the hooks......premium hooks on small jigs is certainly not the norm.

I know that the craft hair jigs with 9' rods, 6lb test and pear shaped fixed bobbers are the rage for cool water smallies in KY/TN.

Nice Job!

Thought I'd pop in and say hey.  I haven't been really active here or other places in a few years.  Between chasin bigger fish "tarpon" in the land of the tropics.  Although a Q/BW trip isn't completely out of the question I may pass on my Sept trip and do a Q/BW trip. 
My new hobby is making these now.

I try to make at least 50 a night.  They are a decent mix of sizes, all the way up to 5/8 oz down to 1/64 oz.  I know they catch fish here in KY and in TX.  Just wondering if they would catch anything in the Q.  Any thoughts?

Just though I'd pop in and let you guys/gals know I'm still alive and kicking.  I still check in here from time to time but miss a lot on postings.  I hope all are well and here's to wishing you all tight lines and big fish.
