Glad you could join us Capt. Rob and I enjoyed reading your post. <br><br>Don't forget to register a user name as well ok and then you'll get your replies automatically.. <br><br>As to your Q. there are any number of scale type finishes available, and we use a number of them ourseleves when making up halibut, ling and salmon jigs for AK anglers. <br><br>What weights are your jigs and what shape? I also note that there is no mention of either spinner blades or glow heads on your jigs either. Often, and from our experience, these do better up your than any types of tapes, scaled or otherwise. <br><br>A few examples of what I am talking about are on the links below:<br><br><A HREF="http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/hellraiser.htm" target="_new">http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/hellraiser.htm</A><br><br>This slim line "Long Tom Jig" os different again:<br><br><A HREF="http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/longtomjig.htm" target="_new">http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/longtomjig</A><br><br>From my experience, tapes will not give you a herring finish in the colors your looking for. Needs a totally different approach and something like this below is close to the mark with a high flash and flexing tail.<br><br><A HREF="http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/sonicsemtex.htm" target="_new">http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/sonicboom.htm</A><br><br>Let me know if you have more Q's after registering that name as I cannot see an e-mail address here on the post for sending this to you direct. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Mod-Lures/Baits & Oz Boards<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
