GREAT POST PAT,
ALL THE REST OF YOU TRUST ME, THEY WORK!!! TD WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SEND ME SOME A YEAR OR SO AGO AND I HAVE WORN THE PAINT OFF OF THEM AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THEM, I HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO "LIGHTEN UP" A FEW JIGS WITH A GOOD PAIR OF WIRE CUTTERS, JUST BY SHAVING OR NIPPING DOWN THE SIZE OF THE LEAD "GOB" ON THE END OF IT ALL, BEING CAREFUL OF COURSE NOT TO CUT THE WIRE OF THE HOOK. I START WITH A 1/4 OUNCE HEAD AND "TRIM" IT DOWN TILL I LIKE WHAT I SEE. THEN YOU CAN BUFF THE CORNERS AND STUFF TO SMOOTH IT OUT. I USE A LITTLE SAND PAPER OR EMERY CLOTH TO ROUND OUT MY JIG. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ADD ONE MORE TIP...TUBE DUDES JIGS ARE THE BEST THOUGH, HE SHOULD CONSIDER SELLING THE PATTERNS I BET HE STANDS TO MAKE A TIDY PROFIT. THEY ARE THAT GOOD, REALLY, I WOULD HAVE TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TOSSING MY WIFE OUT OF THE BOAT TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE JIGS.LOL.....[
