I was fortunate to receive a bag of these and I passed along a majority of them out on the pier. Kim wanted me to let you know that she was catching a bunch of big Spanish on this particular one before a Spanish bit through on the leader. She wanted me to find out if you had more. I started using them a few weeks ago and have been pulling big Spanish off the bottom when the bite gets slow. Thanks

I sent all I had left over from the fall trip and haven't made anymore YET........... that metal flake green is a nice color for my smaller gaff's and only did a few on the jigs.....even the pink last fall were catching spanish for me.....so I guess sometimes something other then WHITE/WHITE is nice to have and throw
Thanks Chris for posting pic for me and sharing the jigs. Bill, I was having a blast with this one and had to take a pic because I knew I would eventually get cut off. Thank you for sending them down.
Your welcome Miss Kim,
I will make more,......... just ordered some more of that color paint, did a few gaff's in it so the jar is less then needed for dipping the jigs to cover them
with the temp's here in the mid to upper 80's the basement sure is feeling good , maybe time to start pouring and tying the jigs for future trips
also ordered a few other metal flake colors to try....... it seams to have some decent flash
one sent to a fellow northerner, plus my 2 box gaff's :)
.
I have that very gaff, and planning to baptize it in blood at my first opportunity in June. Given my luck, however, is it considered unseemly to ask someone to gaff an LY on a sabiki?
there is only one panted like that,(by me) except for my two smaller box gaff's .....I liked yours so much, I painted my small ones the same.....now I don't have enough paint for the jigs till the mail man comes:DQuote:

Yes, but it's not an iIronman gaff. A friend made it in Wisconsin and it sure doesn't work like yours does for Kings. I used the one you made for Chris because it was only one of two on the pier today for about 30 people. I was surprised how true, straight and sharp it was. And by the way, Chris passed out some of your jigs the other day and he gave me some. Thank you both. Keep up the good work...in your spare time!
not much spare time lately, I went back to work, and working on getting my class A cdl license.....be nice if I could find a transport thing between here and southern Alabama with a few day layover down there(pier time)....not really wanting over the road driving but ??? more for the Machinery moving company and pick up and deliver equipment(forks and cranes)
Bill,
That was pure sarcasm:p
I still have enough for 3 cut up, just haven't messed with it since the last 3 that took way too long to finish, maybe for a fall trip,
need to strip a old school rod and redo it, in all my spare time too
finally got the garden in and back doing my 600hrs of Ironwork that we retirees are allowed for the year....hence my desire for the CDL A license and the need for drivers every where I look anymore :D
yep just a few of those green ones made last fall
.
I agree. That green metal flake is beautiful.
I'm a little like you. Supposed to be retired but am busy picking and selling. Unfortunately I have to leave my "pier family" for June, July and August, but I'll be back in September. Just right to beat the heat and heavy summer traffic. I'll still miss everyone though.
While I'm gone...
Good fishing everyone.
got a few painted now, with some added flash I thought was powder paint when ordered but it was just glitter ....did find other paint ,new stock of hooks for more pouring later onQuote:
