There I was at the canvas boat cover maker!!!!

[plateboater]

So as I reviewed the possible canvas boat cover makers facility, I note a very large area of "scrap". The owner showed me a piece and how strong the material is for building boat covers this afternoon. I took a couple pieces home this afternoon to show my wife and thought.....what the hell!
I think it will work. Stiffer than satin but sets nice in the water. Has a good bounce! Colors are limited but the gray would work.

I like that tail, wonder what it would look like under a black light. I keep a light close by to see what they look like.

 

[plateboater]

No black light here!

That kinky jig should turn some fish on.

I can remember when kinky did it for me!

OH, and GREAT lookin jig!!

 

[plateboater]

Nice.....!

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

They don't cost much,got mine for around $5. I believe fish see fluorescent colors better and my favorite color jig combos usually have one or more fluorescent colors in them.

 

[plateboater]

Hmmm. always learning something new. Where do you purchase the fluorescent lights at for $5?
