[cool][#0000ff]Thanks fer the kindly comments. Blush, blush.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]As most BFTers who know me at all will tell you, I do not sell my lures...nor do I ever intend to try to. They are too labor intensive to get all of the special colors and glitter jobs I do. Some jig heads require over 12 separate steps to produce. I only have about 15 cents in hooks and other materials in an average jig, but nobody could afford my time. Heck, I can't even afford my time.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That being said, there are quite a few folks who fish with many of the different goodies I have originated. In some cases, I might barter something in trade. In other cases I just go wacko and give stuff away. I am also willing to help anybody who wants to start making their own stuff. We have "jig parties" from time to time, where several of us get together to learn basic pouring, painting and decorating. There are a few other local BFTers who are becoming pretty good at turning out good stuff.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you are interested, maybe you could get an invite to the "tackletorium" sometime, to get a first hand look at some of the creations. Usually those tours include some free samples. Wink,
. Send me a PM.[/#0000ff]
