Ok fellow TFF er’s, we have rested long enough,let’s start Jig Swap #20.
Sign up will be open until noon January 6th.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to receive all of the entries by January 20th. I will post pictures of all the jigs after I receive them and have them on their way home. All levels of tiers are welcome to join!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is going to be a easy swap to tye for. Since we're still in the Christmas season, I want to see either Red or Green, or both, on the jig. Everyone knows that a jig can't catch a fish unless it can see, meaning, I also need eyes on the jig. Any questions or concerns let me know, and thank ya’ll for the opportunity!!! Gary <><

Almost half way through.Was too lazy to do anything today.

mine are tied... need to bag, and figure out what Gary needs

I don't get off the boat until tomorrow....I will have mine ready early next week.

Finished, bag and tag tomorrow, and ship Thursday or Friday... Dang ya'll are tough to keep up with!!!

Im painted,,,went through a few few prototypes,and finnaly settled on a combo.....

havent started yet, ordered the stuff for this off crazyangler ( my first order with them ). but will have them done saturday. where can I find small baggies?

Michaels or Hobby Lobby has them for about 2 bucks for 100.

OK Gary, mine are heading your way!!!

thanks didnt know that.

Walmart does to

Well.... I just got home from offshore last night....sent the wife and kids off this morning, and got my heads done....they are baking right now.... Then off to Houston for a class for tomorrow.... I should have mine all done early next week...doesnt look like good fishing weather for Monday...so...I'll be watching kids and tying up some jigs.

Now that sounds like a good way to spend a bad weather day!!!

Gary, Mine went out yesterday....

Mine will go postal today.

Mine will go out Tuesday, as soon as the Post Office opens. Ya'll be easy on me..... this is my first swap.

My jigs are bagged and tagged and will be mailed on Tues.

ditto for mine too............

mine are bagged and will be in the mail tomorrow. Swapmeister yours has your name on it.

I have to apologize in advance on the hook I usually use the sickle hook but when I ordered the from TNT I guess I ordered the wrong one so they are normal ordinary hooks.

Bagged and Tagged will be in the mail on Tuesday.Thanks for hosting and for letting a newbie get in with you guys.

Mine have been mailed...on their way to ya Gary.

mine went out this a.m.

Mckinneycrappiecatcher has had to drop out. Does anyone have the name and address of a young person that I can send the extra set of jigs to? I thought it would be neat to make some little fishermans day.

Great idea hunter...

Mine were postal yesterday :-)

PM sent

Gary
My jig set left Ohio today. Thanks for letting me join in the Texas swap.
NightProwler

northtexascrappiehunter has sent me the name of a 15 year old that sounds perfect for out extra jigs. If this is alright with everyone I'm going to send him the jigs.

i hope he enjoys the jigs. srry i had to drop out guys, just too much going on to get this swap done. i hope ill be able to make the next one.

I think it's a great idea!

Very nice gesture.

thanks guys I know this will get him going.

Great idea...I hope he enjoys them!!

Send that boy the jigs! Excellent idea & maybe something to consider in future swaps. Extra couple of jigs to send to some youths is great exposure to the hobby.

Good idea.

Nice gesture guy's....Mine are postal Gary !
