Re: Time to get those UV jigs ready!!!
 

Shark Gypsy
Grouper are UV junkies! I have several guys from Florida and Texas that use it down there so you should see a welcoming reception to your jigs in that area. I used a few boats as test boats too.... since we don't have that fishery up our way. Again.... it's gonna make a difference and the shops that take it on will be repeat buyers I'm sure. For some reason, seems that the snowy grouper respond to UV jigs and only UV for a few boats down there. We had a few members here get them using UV Spanko's.

That's good.:rolleyes:..Fleetwood Mac sings a song about a Gypsy, I SPY. a day later and a dollar short I guess..LOL....

Had great reception and reaction from the Snowys, Scamps, Gags and Reds, was truly interesting to watch how they produced. Even the Red snapper clobbered them, I mean as soon as they hit bottom, Time after Time ( But that was Cyndy Lauper ;) Maybe the FLA sun baked my brain as my excuse. LMAO ) although unfair, some of those had rattles too :D Had some really good action reported on blank, unpainted ebay jigs I picked up and also dipped in UV. So UV seems to be the ticket on almost ANY jig...

Looking forward to seeing the end results of your testing as well. I'm sure you will see some great results on your jigs too.

Hammer- let me know when you're ready to do some drops. Have some ready for the field...playing with the paint effects to design a more life like fish look vs. solid coloring across the jigs as most fish have patterns and lines throughout...match the hatch seems to be working very well

Holy crap........ whoever was offended that I looked at a screen name the wrong way needs to lighten up. :confused:

Sharkispy..... Sharkgpsy..... my bad I guess. I had to come clean and say that my mistake on a screen name was 100% error. Now that I see the screen name.... I can tell you I will do it again probably, because I am just not the " I Spy " type I Guess.

Trust me..... if I have something to say... you all know I am going to just say it!!! As I have in the past!!! I never intended to play baby games. Sh*t like this is exactly why I don't bother with these forums anymore. They are all quickly becoming a waste of money & time. :rolleyes:

I was told that I offended so many of you, by posting a screen name wrong, while engaging in an actual conversation about fishing, with no negative comments in it at all. If so..... my bad. I have been reading his screen name as Sharkgypsy for years now..... but c'mon..... lighten up! What the hell is a Shark Gypsy anyway??? You guys need to get real problems if I really offended "tons of you!! "

To the minority that read the thread as normal conversation, you were right in doing so. Thats all it was....... :rolleyes:

Re: Time to get those UV jigs ready!!!
 

Did you finally get that UV paint in yet? I emailed you about 6 times so far...anything yet?

Re: Time to get those UV jigs ready!!!
 

All these talks about uv paint got me interested. So I got some uv paint and put them on bucktails made from Sam's jigs.
The second pic is under UV light. Looks pretty good in person, but didn't come out too well in pics. Will put them to use and report back. ;)
