Made just 1 set a piece.One for me and one for my son.If they do as good as I think they will,they will be mass produced.

Not that I know of.But,them fluke just hit the crap out of pink or chartruese or white.I decided to add all three colors and see what happens.

I'd call them Gamblers cause that is what you are doing with the colors right . But what the heck do I know never even seen a live fluke in hand .

It is a Gamble,lol.BUT,I already have every other color combo that you could imagine.Bad thing is,once they start biting,I never take the jig off and try another one.I usually take 20 lbs. of jigs and use maybe 2 ozes all day at the most,lol.

Ok,this is the last of them.Tied a pair of both teaser and jig.3/4 oz. both with the Gamakatsu hook.Filed the sides of the jighead before paint to leave a flat spot for the eye.It's more natural looking for you non-hippie guys out there.No more tying for me until September,lol.I Quit.

It's just trying to trigger that strike instinct. Can't explain it. If Bruce is on the flounder, they will hit those. Blaze orange isn't really a fish I have heard of swimming around, but the party boat captains will show you pics of the results from the 6oz. blaze orange fluke balls they use. Last year, I killed them with orange and purple lol. Whod a thunk?

Hope you supply all the neighbors with some new door mats Bruce.

Here ya go blt,had to have a couple just incase.Orange everything,even the flash.Gamakatsu 5/0 hook,same as the others.These jigs in this thread are going into my personal carry bag and not in the jigbox.Since I only have 2 of each one.And yes,the hook eye is cleaned from all of them,use the ole slipring pliars to make them as clean as can be.Can't have my mono leader hitting a sharp powder paint edge and breaking off my 15 lb. doormat fluke,lol.
