Sharky, looks like you could start a war with that arsenal. Great looking patterns!

Looken good Mike you may be the next Buck Tail Man.
Have fun and catch fish with them, I've been tying for a while, its nice to hook a fat boy on one of your own.

Received some requests regarding the jigs I make and whether I would sell these or not. Please send me a PM or email to my AOL email address for inquiries.

Mike,

try jigging above the bottom more; less contact hitting the bottom. i think you'll lose less and catch more fish. i understand you need to "feel" the bottom to know you're close to it but fluke come FAR off the bottom to hit a jig and you'll spend more time fishing and less time re-tying.

Mike, absolutely right since many of the fish are being caught on the teasers 14-16" up the leader that aren't on the bottom when they hit. I'm going for the color options at this point to have whatever is "hot" for that specific day .......
