He's still around.
Health problems caused me to pass the torch, so Jerry Taylor took the torch and it's still burning.
Thanks for asking about me.

A lot of history there in those jigs and some of the names of the color combos.

I ordered some of your jigs several years ago, A Christmas special package. They looked so great I never used them. Did the same with Skip_48. Still have all of them.

Made myself some jigs and tied for a few years afterwards. I don't tie, make rods or fish anymore.

But might fish when it warms some.

Big Possum - before my father passed, I ordered some jigs from Matthew to give to him. I still have my father's packs of jigs as well as one pack or sample jig from almost every jig Matthew ever tied. I know where you're coming from, sir, those jigs are invaluable.

Fish Killer - agreed. It's quite an honor to carry on the torch and be a part of something that was going on long before I knew how to tie.

Bobcat - he sure is. I couldn't agree more. I often think about where these little jigs are taking me and I stay GRATEFUL that Matthew taught me to tie such a fine jig.

CPR - thank you, my friend. I appreciate the kindness.

Sam - I'm glad you're one of a handful of people that really saw this venture grow. The Ugly Sam still hasn't taken off but things are going better than expected. smile Thank you for your continued support.... really.
