The fly rod guys are having a swap.  Do any of you guys make anything that you would want to do and have a different kind of bait swap?

Interesting idea.

On a couple of other sites we used to have jig swaps which were fun. I don't tie flies anymore but my experience I got from tying flies has carried over to jigs. I don't know where to post some of the jigs and spinner baits that I make on here. Maybe they could add a small section here for that. Perhaps do a jig swap as well.

Lots of flies are jigs, in essence,  all the bead heads and cone heads and dumbbell eyed  stuff act as jigs and many of them are even tied on jig hooks. And if your jig is tied on a single point hook, in Mo. it is legally a fly in fly fishing only waters. So put them with the rest of the flies. Not so many flies today have spinners on them as there were back 60-70 years ago, but Pistol Petes are still fairly common. 

If you want to do a bunch of hand carved plugs or molded stuff  and lures with multipoint and/or multiple   hooks, those as "not legally flies" might need a special place, but to me a lure is lure.  Almost anything that is not "bait" is a lure.

By the way, nice flies in that last image.

I guess I should have been more explanatory about the baits.  What I was aiming at was something along the line of molded plastics (flukes, tubes, trailers, craws, swim baits, etc). I’m not really interested in a jig swap.  I have two lifetime supplies of them.

If anyone wants them, I still have about a dozen of Bo's jig heads, bare and painted black. Seems to me someone could tie some mighty fine hair jigs. Bo would like it.
