A few from the Lubbock lab! (pic heavy...for me)

A few from the Lubbock lab! (pic heavy...for me) - 10/03/16 03:35 AM

Hot days have meant more tying than fishing this summer, but that trend will be reversing shortly!

Here is what I have been working on lately...as I try to do less lurking and more posting.











Those are the most recent.

This next pic shows just how hungry the fish have been...this fish actually ate them both! This is the first time in my 45 years that I have ever seen this happen!



I hope to be posting more often in the future, but it honestly just slips my mind.

Go get 'em boys!

I like your two tone paint jobs. thumb

I just never seem to take the time to do them.

Thank you REDGUN! They are completely unnecessary, but they look cool...lol

RonL, if I had to guess I probably tied 1,000 or so jigs this summer. The practice is good for me and I get bored easily.

My son actually started tying that one first. He caught alot of fish on it last winter under some pontoon boats, so I tied a few too!

Very nice paint and ties on those SlabedSilly. Are you brush tapping the second color? I like the mixed color vs. doing a top and bottom contrast.
