Tm Customs Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I was wondering if you guys could devote a tackle making section soley to jigs? There not really files or wire baits so mabey they could use there own catagory. I know this probably wont happen, but I know there are enought guys out there who make flipping jigs and custom tie jigs that it would be worth while. I don't think jigs recive enough attention, especially since they win so many tornaments and hair jigs may be the number 1 way to catch smallies. I figure why not throw the idea out there. Just putting a new idea out there for you guys, let me know what you think. Thanks, Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I dont see any problems with doing that, give us a lil time, we'll be adding some moderators soon & re-organizing some stuff here, nothing huge though. The existing jig topics will have to be moved over to the new forum also. I agree that jigs dont get alot of attention here, but that falls true for fly tying, rod making & other areas of tackle that we dont even currently support (like net-making) In time hopefully we'll have more members who make those baits & when they do, we'll accomodate the best we can. thanks for the suggestion!

LedHed Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 A jig section sounds good - how about a "jig swap"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I tie hair jigs and pour plastics what are you looking to swap, what do you make ledhed? Check out some of my plastics in the gallery Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Was involved with the last wire bait swap and have a pic posted on page 1 of the Swap Pics post in the wire bait forum. Also have some pics posted in the gallery. Started doing UL jigs years ago and am doing a lot of saltwater stuff now. Just started pouring plastics about 6 months ago (thanx to TU). Concentrating mostly on saltwater style swimbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markell Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Ledhed, LOL! That was the first thing I thought about. We may need to wait untill the section is up and running but when the time comes I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Markell, Bet we could get CJ to jump in ? the last bait swap was way too cool. Another swap would be a great way to launch another forum. I?m in for the next one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm Customs Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Check out this rabbit hair jig tied on one of CJ's stand ups from a previous trade. Would you guys be interested in a few of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 they look awsome! i never really fish natural hair jigs. maybe ill go tie some now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I may be in the minority but in my opinion a Jig forum is not needed...maybe the wirebaits forum should be called lead baits or something else but it can more than adaquatly cover these baits. A jig swap sounds great, look for a sign up sheet in the wire forum. JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
