Calling All Jig Tying Maniacs

[crappie crippler]

I am a member on another fishing website that holds a "jig swap" once in awhile. What happens is, everyone who enters (usually stop with first 20) ties a jig. If 20 people are signed up, you tie 20 jigs all the same. Each of the 20 people make 20 jigs of their choice but all 20 are the same. Lots of "20's" in there!! Mike makes red/white/blue and Dave makes green/purple/orange. But 20 of them. One person is assigned the "swapmeister". When your jigs are finished, you mail them to swapmeister with a postage paid mailer inside of your mailer. Large bubble mailer with smaller bubble mailer inside works well. When all entrants jigs are received, you will get back 19 jigs. Each one tied by someone else. Sounds confusing but very simple and lots of fun. You can have a theme such as perch jigs, shellcracker jigs, favorite jigs, etc... And if you are serious about tying jigs you get lots of neat ideas from the others. Swapmeister keeps the spares for having to go to post office. Anyone want to try it?

Jigs is a very broad topic. What kind of jigs are you talking about; trout, bass, crappie, white bass, striper, bucktail, living rubber, silicone, light weight, medium weight, heavy weight?

As I stated, you have a theme for each one. It will vary. Most are 1/8 oz. or smaller crappie type jigs. Has to be something simple. Not everyone makes 3/4 oz. bass jigs.

The silence is deafening. Nevermind. I'll stick with the other guys.

Sorry but I don't tie anything of that type.
