Beautiful jigs! What’s your thoughts on weedguards? I fish a lot of heavy cover and have perfected a double 50# or 30# mono weedguard. I tie them on 1/16 and 1/8 heads. The 50# will knock lite biting crappie off sometimes but works great on the big war mouth (goggle eye) we have in south Louisiana. The 30# works great on crappie but will hang up in some very thick stuff sometimes. I just hate to tie jigs and spend time on 5-6 different materials, weedguard and rattles just to hang it and lose it. I’ve got that pretty well solved, now if I could do something about the garfish…anyway- more flash=more fish… keep on tying buddy. You make em pretty.
I like all 4 of the Monkey milk jigs!! Congrats on the Barlow affiliation, it’s a dang good company. Hate to hear about the website but sounds like the new one will be better!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yes sir definitely praying it will be a great website and easy for my customers! I’m very excited about partnering with Barlows I truly appreciate you watching
Hate to hear about website crashing. But if the lord is in your life you will come out on the other side even better. Glad to hear about the affiliate with barlows tackle they are great people. I have bought thousands of dollars of merchandise from them. Thanks again for all you do and God bless you and yours Phagin
It appears that you tie a lot of jigs using Sickle style hooks. I seem to have an issue trying to find sickle hook jigs to tie....do you have a prefered source for different size/weight jigs to tie?
Like your monkey milk jigs you made! I am just getting started tying jigs for crappie and love your content! What would you recommend for thread size range for crappie (210 Denier ect.) I just got my Barlow catalog yesterday. Thanks for sharing!
Hey buddy I prefer 210 but on smaller jigs I do sometimes use 140, 99 percent of all jigs I tie I use 210, I sure appreciate you watching sorry it took so long to respond I been having to travel to Dallas to my heart doctor every day, every any more questions please do not hesitate to reach out
