I finally received my replacement computer and I'm just getting the chance to reply to everyone. Even if these replies aren't seen by those who made the initial comments, I couldn't go without trying to show my appreciation. I'm sorry, if I leave anyone out.




I appreciate you, man. You've always been supportive. Not just supportive of me but anyone getting into tying jigs. Glad you're still active on TFF.



I appreciate you taking the time to read my story, sir. If you ever decide to place an order and would like advice first, please don't hesitate to contact me. I typically take calls 8:00 - 8:00, 7 days/week this time of year. My phone number is listed on my website's Contact page. Thank you for taking the time.



Sam! Yes sir, I remember you! You're the reason I ever believed another hand-tied jig tail could outfish feather. We need to catch up sometime, sir; I'll be happy to send you a few of these new jigs I'm tying to try out. Tickled you're still on the forums! I recall our conversation as well as sending you the video. Additionally, I remember your kindness/offers as well. I look forward to speaking with ya.
Hah - By the way, the "Ugly Sam" still exists!



Hey brotha man! Thanks for the encouragement during the growth of my company; your kindness and support has meant a lot. As for how many jigs I've tied.... I'd have to look at my tax statements to answer that legally/on record. ( ) I'll answer you directly when we talk next (just remind me). I imagine I'll tie more than 30,000 this year but it's hard to say... I'm likely over 100,000 jigs tied since you and I met but if not, I'll be there before the end of the year. If you ever see any of my jigs you wanna try or see something new you'd like to dunk, just let me know and I'll be happy to send you a pack or two to try out.



Hey buddy. I remember sending your package and am thankful you remember as well. Thanks for the kind words regarding my business. Hope this coming year is your crappie-est year yet.



Glad to read that you've enjoyed my jigs. Even though you didn't win anything in my giveaway, I appreciate your kindness along the way. I am sure I had your address from before but I'd like you PM it to me again, if you don't mind? I'd be happy to send you a few packs of those Gold Slinger jigs, as they're not available for purchase anymore. If you miss this reply, I'll sneak into my user database on the website and get some jigs in your hands one way or another.



This year, I was able to pour, polish, and paint almost 30,000 jigheads before season so I'm going to be offering a larger catalog again. Some of the jigs you liked before are back again and some new jigs have never been offered online. Please let me know, if anything new catches your eye.



I remember speaking with you privately when I launched my website. You were one of a handful of people who were very uplifting and encouraging that left an impression on me strictly kindness. Glad to see you're still on the forums, sir. Blessings to you!



My feeling about your work is the same, sir. Been great getting to know you and finally meet. Next time we arrange to pick up fish, we need to go fishing or sit down and eat a bite together. Thanks for everything, Mr. Muntz! You're an extraordinary crappie artist, if I've ever met one.



Your'e welcome. I forgot all about sending you those jigheads but come to think of it, remember your attitude of gratitude when you received them. Thanks for the offer, sir.



I'm very proud to have you using my jigs, sir. Aside from your success on the tournament trail (not to take anything away from those accomplishments), I gained respect for you when you tested baits for me. I sure value your knowledge and willingness to help and was impressed at how thorough your testing methods (and results) were.... I look forward to the damage you'll do on a tournament trail when you can focus solely on fishing (someday, sir)...
Thanks for everything.



Johnny, you're one of my favorite people to fish with and have been positive about me since the day we met (HAH!... what a day THAT was!). Honored to have shared the time on the water with you I have. Dad gum....!!!! The laughs we've shared. Come to think of it, we've seen highs and lows. You and Carmen stay on my mind these days. Don't dare hesitate to call me, if you need anything. We love you, too, man. Thanks for everything over the years.

Wow!!!! What kind words to so many!!! Thank you Jerry for every thing you do for the sport of crappie fishing!!!

I know many of you will remember Jerry�s very generous giveaway recently. I was the fortunate recipient of the Dorado bag. It is not just a tackle bag. It is so large and well built it could be used for a long weekend for tackle, clothes, and 2 or 3 days of rations!
Jerry has one of the best jigs I have ever used. I am a double offering jigger and use his Grease Bath and Old School www.jigginjerry.com as the top jig and Lane Palmers www.constantpursuitoutfitters.com plastics as the bottom jig on my 7 ft & 8 ft G-Rod and President vertical jiggers. When you see his jigs first hand you will see how the colors are so bright and coordinated they jump out at you like they do to an ambushing impulsive Crappie.
If you go to www.jigginjerry.com and read his �about� page you will see why he is so dedicated to a quality product and an all around good guy.
Daddy�s influence.
Found out I had seen his Dad on the old school show, Anglers Choice, and read his articles in Honey Hole magazine.
Thanks Jerry for the bag and quality jigs.

I am sorry I missed putting you in on this original post. So many people to thank that I missed you. I appreciated your comment as well as any. Fishing has been a passion and way to earn a living for entire family for generations now. I love the fact you took the time to read our legacy. Blessings to you, sir. (oh - and you should give crappie a try...)



Mr. Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I thought I replied to you initially, as well..? Either way, good getting to know you, sir. I appreciate your kindness and look forward to our next discussion.


----------------------------------------------------

FINADDICT - You're a heckuva nice guy, and lucky one at that! I don't know if anyone knew it, but Ernie won the Facebook drawing and this drawing.. That was 3 prizes in over 400 collective entries of which you won two.... those odds are amazing, unheard of luck! As for fishing Lane's baits with my baits, tandem.... he and I've actually talked about this. Deadly combo! Blessings on your upcoming crappie season, sir.

BILL - I didn't wanna go without saying thanks to anyone and know it's a ton of text to read through... but I genuinely appreciate everyone... yourself included!

Thank you Jerry...for all you do!!

Folks, they just don't come any better than Jerry, and his hand ties.

I'll second that!
