Gizzard shad and PB Largemouth

[Boobie]

Jim,    Im in your neighborhood. Im always interested in buying some lures for my sons tackle that are different and catch fish. These look awsome!!! I need to hook up with you if you are interested in selling a few.

Get in line Boobie! Ha. 

 

Seriously, Jim. You have a built-in market on this forum and I’m sure many others would be eager to join me and Boobie waiting for the virtual shop doors to open. Holler when the eBay page is up and running.

 

Did you get a chance to test out the batch you made? I’m interested to hear the field test results.

I've been selling jigs on ebay for almost 14 years now and try to keep over 50 listings on there with a variety for freshwater fish, not just bass even though I'm in bass mode right now. If you look at custom jigs or float n fly you should find some of my ties there and you can look at my other baits by clicking on seller's other items. I do custom orders and actually prefer that since ebay gets in my opinion to good of a percentage when they do sell. Have a look and if you see something you like I will make it for you. Send me a pm or something. I'm retired and check here frequently when not fishing or filling orders. I didn't join this site to sell jigs but felt that I found a site where I can directly relate to since we fish the same areas. I did get back out last Saturday and fished the same area without a bite, but moved around and found some shad and a few bass up to 15 inches, no big fish that day. Black hair jigs are still catching fish like they have been for the past year since I started fishing them regularly instead of a dozen casts and switch to something else. If the weather would cooperate I'd do more testing, maybe get a few guys here to test some for me. I don't have a site or page and don't want one either. Afraid I'd spend too much time tying and it would take away from my fishing days, not going to happen.

I was fishing Tuesday at an STL County park lake an observed a dark spot out in the lake. I cast into it and hooked a Gizzard Shad about 8" in the dorsal fin so started to fish on the down wind side of the school of shad and caught three nice bass in the 14-18 inch range. I decided to fish the upwind side of the school and on the first cast hooked up with what I thought was a carp since I caught a glimpse of the belly flash and it was fat. Played it and when I got it close saw that it was a bass and backed off on the drag and landed her. By myself so took one picture next to my rod for scale, measured her from tip of my middle finger up my arm and tail touched my shoulder. Then I released her. Figured between rod picture and unofficial measurement of finger to shoulder believe she was about 25 inches long and probably 9-10 lbs. since she was so fat. Since then  I have been working on some gizzard shad baits and this is what I have come up with so far. These are 1/8-3/16 with 2/0-3/0  jig hooks and measure 4-6 inches in length. Last picture is the jig I caught it on, about 3 inches long. Going to get out there tomorrow and look for shad. Find shad and you find bass.

absolutely spectacular Jim..... What is your ebay name??? I would like to buy a bevie of your shad underspins
