a stream that runs through a park next town over. good fishing there and not many people know about it. had one other one throw the hook on me too. until recently I'd forgotten about that pattern then remembered it with the trout jig swap. that body material rocks! gotta start using that more again I think.

Got mine out in the mail today at lunch. Painting the heads took me longer than tying the jigs. :p For a change i listened to the KISS mantra - only used 3 materials - and they turned out really good.

Maybe these will catch a trout in a 'negative' mood? haha!

Sorry for the lame humor. Been staring at print graphics all day long and that's all i got. Have to either wait for the 'group pic' to see the true color or if you are really curious, you can simply invert the colors through most any graphic editor. ;) Is it quitin' time yet? Ahhhhh it is.

Sure made me laugh but I've been staring at a computer screen editing Photographs all day so I can relate. :D:icon14: I checked out that picture. The Neon (InYoFace) Blue, pink and white is sweet but I like the "Real" colors. Awesome Jigs Man!

Curiosity got ya! :) What is the main software you use? CorelDraw (X3) is what i use mainly for our vector graphics & print separations but also use PhotoShop (Elements) for any raster photo edits. As many times as i have tried using the fancy vector tracing tools on Corel, still doesn't match doing it by pen & paper.

We primarily do portraits for families,daycares and high school seniors. I do most of my editing and retouching work using Adobe Raw and Photoshop CS4 (it was new like five minutes ago, theyre up to CS6 now :) ) I'm not too familiar with vector graphic stuff.

Went to mail mine Thursday night, but it was after hours and the stoopid postage kiosks were doing some kind of software update. Had to come back Saturday. But they should be on their way by now.

Received jigs from AtticaFish and Fireshadow today. Nice work! I look forward to seeing Shoemoo's. They should be here tomorrow I'd say.

That would have been an interesting race by the pony express if they had all gone out (from TX, ID, OH) on the same day - to see if they all would show up (in MO) on the same day. :trollin:
