Preventive Maint is key but getting the snow removed is never fun! A nice below zero scooping of snow will help motivate!! Note the shovel and shop broom vs height of snow.....good times.

Trying to bounce around ideas on the pro vs con. The belly spins are a lot quicker to make!! New colors of mylar from Crazy Angler. Top left of the group has the right swivel #12...ran out and was using a little larger to get rid of inventory!

Really good video from Pepop and the saltwater hackle is in. My thoughts is easier and quicker to tie. 1/16 custom head sickle hook and new clown color purchase chenille from Crazy Angler.

I like a fast pace.....Pour, paint and put together takes time for the pony's. I feel like a lot of time!!! But when completed they do look nice.

Looking at another 5 to 7 inches of snow this weekend in IL! Working with mylar 3/16" and the jewelry wire to accent. 1/16" shad darts with #6 sickle hooks.

Not sure what board to post a question......but here we go. I have been using saddle hackle for crappie jigs. I am about out.....so is the best to use saddle hackle or neck hackle?

Tie more jigs.....IL is shutting down plows are coming off the routes and a majority of business will be shut down tomorrow due to weather conditions!

Couple different 1/16oz jigs!

Been over 5 months since a pic posted due to some life issues. Owe a few guys some jigs will be in the mail this week. Started getting ready for season with wool jigs. Avg time is 6mins per jig. Went with metal paint sticks for eyes.

Evening Guys, Long hours at work......A tornado in Washington IL (hometown) has set me back. I apologize for my long absence and soon will be up tying more jigs. Hunting season is slowing coming to a close and I look forward to time around the fire tying jigs getting ready for the fishing...

Been busy at work!!! Finally poured a couple hundred jigs over the weekend for a few friends. Called Rosey's and talked about a chrome finish. Here is the final results. 1/16 oz #4 hook, stump's squeeze to the heads. Using rabbit strip (yellow/barrow stripe) and white satin from...

Posted on jig forum my specific lures. Wanted to post a pic of one of the shellcrackers. Fished lake Tansi all week and had a great time.

Just got back from Crossville Tn. Fishing Lake Tansi. Yellow bass and good shellcrackers. Between the two below jigs I caught over 200 yellow bass and 20 large shellcrackers. First is "reds". Second is my RnD using JoAnn satin with a small piece of rabbit zonker. The jig went blind...

Been very busy at work. Going into a two week shutdown for maintenance on CNC machines. Not much time to tie or pour jigs!! I did get time to have my mold mod guy tweak a 1/32 like my 1/16 to have a taper head. Turned out real nice. Jig on the left has the stump eye mod with pliers. Can...

Always looking for the perfect jig! page 223 of 2013 page catalog. I think if I had the correct diameter I could cut a piece and slide of the hook shank. I then tie at neck. Not sure how to separate the fibers but looks like a winner. Looks like smallest size is 3/16. Not sure if...

Summer is almost here for IL. Run 16ft rods out the front with all 3oz or 2oz weights and push 1/8 belly spinner above about 18" is a 1/16 straight jig. Time to build a few 1/8's. All I had for hooks with Matzo #1 straight. Going with it!

Buddy has different style of float for gills. Was a post from norvise earlier this year. Tied a few tonight. I think the rubber style as on my tie for legs work better than newer silicon (will be switching my froggie over to rubber legs). Buddy pounded them over the weekend at a strip...

Pond jumper and Pepop always starting a trend.......Will hope to have RnD soon.
