Started making a few jigs recently. Started with the round head and moved on to these. All 3 are 1/2 oz footballs with 4/0 Mustad hooks. The skirts and weedguards need some trimming, but you get the idea. I just want to give a shout out to all the resident jig makers for all the great info….thanks guys!

Those look really good.  I don’t know how accurate the information is, but I had heard that Terminator was going out of business.  Are you planning on making any jigs with the air fluff skirts like Terminator made?  If so, are you jigs for sale?  I might need to get up with you if that is the case.

Thanks guys, This is almost as much fun as making plastics. I don’t have any “air fluff” skirts that Terminator sells, and never really bought into that deal but Terminator still remains my favorite jig for flipping. If you could use some Ddaniel, we could work something out, I’m just looking for an excuse to make more anyways….lol.

There is a little cone thing you can buy to slip on the skirt and it will flare it out. I think barlows sells em, might be something to check out.

Sounds good PAX.  I’ll be getting back home around the 2nd or 3rd, depending on travel, and I’ll get up with you.
