hollywood100 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I just returned from the fishing/boat show happening in E. Tn. I met Jawjacker and had an interesting discussion with him. I know some of you on this board know him, but he blew me away with his baits and knowledge. His bait designs are awesome and his painting/finishing is above that. Also, for those into "production" on this board, he only had approx. 2,500 baits on hand. He truly is a master craftsman. I thank him for the conversation and his time.

jawjacker Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 thanks for the praise hollywood it was nice chatting with someone from tu face to face for a change instead of looking at an avatar i have also met jblaze in person both of u guys are very fine people and i wish the both of you the best of luck in your crankbait crafting i was just lucky to have some of the legends in this craft to teach me some of the tricks thanks again jawjacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'll eventually meet Rob at a one of the shows he does...and for fishing, I'd much rather have his lures than any made by any of the "legends" he learned from, because Rob has done the research and development it takes to build great baits. Its good to have folks from which to learn, but Rob has made the most of the opportunity by going the extra mile, and burning the midnite oil! That's why he's da man!

hollywood100 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Dean, I believe you hit the nail on the head. I tournament fish and would rather throw his baits than anything else I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawjacker Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 thanks dean but i believe that you can be considered da man also since you take the time to help other members on this forum thats what this board is for i was just fortunant to have grown up living near all the "legends" in crankbait making and have spent close to 20 years in developing a way to make crankbaits that will last and catch fish all the praise should go to everyone that takes the time to learn this art thats what will keep it alive when we are all gone to that big lake in the sky so to all that make crankbaits ........ please take the time to teach someone young who you think will carry this craft on.......... i am sure glad that someone and they know who they are took the time to share it with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
