    Jig attempts

    Here's a few jigs I put together. A buddy and I bought a few large lots of jigheads and we each powdercoated a batch of them and mfg. our own skirts. I'm debating if it's worth the time to actually tie the skirts on or not, instead of using bands. All the jigs- football, flippin', and finesse use the same custom Gammy hook, which I LOVE! The hook points out, as opposed to pointing at the eye. Great hookup ratio!
    Whaddya think? Any suggestions to make them better?

    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

    They look good. I think your bite to catch ratio will be alot better with a round bend hook. Been there and done that.
