Very cool that you could come down and catch fish on your first trip under those conditions. I won't tell tell everyone that I saw all those sparkles scattered everywhere in your boat that rubbed off the sparkle nibbles you were using.......

Say one more question........is it considered pot licking when a man tells you which pole the fish are gonna be by or just free information???

Welcome to the forum!

Sadly, it seems, that I learned just this morning that they are no longer super secret...The Jigs were a collaborative effort between several TFF persons, myself included in order to create a super jig in a few select situations. Turns out there are more applications where these Jigs are successful than I imagined. Abbott tied the Jigs with some jigheads and instruction supplied by Redgun...all I had was a desire to fish a specific design hair jig, with specific components, in very specific instances. Abbott tied some up for his buddies Illinois, up around Mend Lake (I have no clue where that is located). Just this morning,Abbott informed me his buddies got a 3rd place finish in a tourney up that way, and are wanting some more of the Jigs. I figure me just relaying the story will force him to post some pics of the Jigs in question, despite the fact, they are still in the development phase...I can tell you, from my own limited testing, if you can get one of the Jigs in front of a crappie, they are very likely to bite it!

my nibbles look like a large blob of play doh, it is so old...don�t remember who left them in the boat, I just don�t have the heart to toss them in the trash, cause you just never know who might want to borrow some!

Hmmm, I don�t know...BUT, TroyKing is an expert on all things considered pot licking...so, I shall defer to him for guidance...

Nice read crapicat.
Say, where can I get one of those phones -- you know the kind where you can see the look on her face from Grandview to Caddo.
If they're not too expensive, I might get one.

Ok I have kept everyone waiting long enough. Here are the top secret baits Crapicat is talking about. If you will notice these are weedless.

Now I will tell you a little about the whole deal. I had posted on here a couple months ago about just getting into tying and was wanting to sale a few. So some guys on here contacted me and I tied for them. Then I thought it was done. But here came Crapicat and started PMing me on here and then we started texting back and forth. So we went back and forth by texting for a while. I think he was doubting me that I could do what I said .


So there at first I tied him ones just like these but they was regular ballheads. I finished them and sent them to him. That weekend is when he fished Caddo. After that weekend he texted me Monday morning and told me that he needed to go weedless.


That is when we came up with these. I have tested them out and they do work. But like Crapicat said these are still in the testing and not for sale yet until we get it all dialed in the way we want to.


My buddies are testing them out in Illinois in the stumps and saying they are working great for them. So I think you will see them released real soon.


Let me know if I can help anyone out on hand tied jigs. Thanks
