millman, Got them today.

Thanks....Danny

4 more swappers to go.

Any more pics?

Dink that is a good looking jig. I like the looks of the jig head for sure.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Hopefully they will catch ya'll some fish.

The head is powder painted two colors plus a powder clear coat over a freshly poured head for the silver. The tail is hackle and maribou and the body is ice chenille. For some reason these eyes are a bit larger than usual (I ordered the right size)and I'm not completely happy with them, but the jig really needed the blue ones.

I painted some tonight that have five colors including the silver then a clear coat. I'll see if I can get a good enough pic to post in the 'Showroom' thread.

fridays86 Pm'd that he has mailed his jigs.
List has been updated.

Five more days until this swap is over and I will split up the jigs and get them back to you.

Thanks fridays....Danny

Im tying mine right now at work. Look good. Im going to do a test run on Texoma in abot 2 hours.

Go get em' Brian!

They are on the poles thick. I got some more this morning too!

Good luck Brian.


Anthony, when you gonna start #5?

I'm expecting a package in the mail today and maybe a couple others in a day or two. Then I'll get them back to you ASAP. I would hope that I mail them on Friday.

This has been fun on this swap and I look forward to tying up some jigs for #5.(my workshop is A/C'd) I've already got some ideas.



<just thought we needed a bump>

Folks, Im sorry to be bringing up the rear of the swap.But they're tied and packed and in the mail first thing tomorrow..

Ive been on a much more natural trend in my tying lately, but Possum asked for some wild submissions,I hope this one will meet the criteria... You better put on some sunglasses before you open this one.The chenille is actually brighter than shown in the pic,and might even catch some fish

Lookin' good Rog!!

Rad...That is a nice lookin' jig and I bet it will catch fish.

UPDATE ON SWAP #4...
We have had one member drop out. So, it will be 11 people left. I'll see to it you get your jigs returned in your packets.
Thanks...Danny

I vote you keep all the extra's. Certainly dont return mine to me.

Received fridays86 jigs in the mail just now.

Nice ones fridays.

Thanks.

(list updated)

Note to fridays86 and all other swappers:
For future swaps,
No need for "extremely urgent" postage. That's too expensive.
If you check the post on recommended way to send, it usually is less than $2.50 postage(depending on jig weight) and is received in about 2 days. And the cost of the envelopes is reasonable at office supply stores.

Keep um. And the Old Glory will catch fish. I had not fished that jig a lot. Last week I got a couple of hours at Charolets Cove in Abilene. One lady was catching some dinks on minnows and all the jig fishers (6)where catching nothing. I went through several jigs and only dinks. Then I went to old Glory and in about 20 min. I had three good keepers. I was putting them in an old timers basket that I had fished with before and he told me he needed them for food and had not been catching in the last few weeks. So I tyed one on his pole (he is a very good gig fisherman better than me) and when I left he was still catching and we had him a pretty impressive basket. So I hope yall have the same luck.

The last time it took about 10 days. Did not want to put the swap behind again. No big deal.
