Welcome aboard from SoCal. WOW looks like you were busy. Awesome work - great jigs!

Welcome!!! Those look great, nice work!!!!!!

Nice looking assortment..... am taking notes on color patterns. The purple and orange patterns are well known around here and am going to have to try your yellow chart/blue.

Can see the artistry in your jigs, but also would love to see the artist in the Sketch Diary from the pic. Looks like a little oddball art to be appreciated on your walls as well. My paint area has several fish/art pics torn out of magazines as well as some home drawn stuff.

Welcome from East Texas! Nice jigs! :icon14: :icon14:

The sketch diary is something I started close to 25 years ago to make notes on how to tie special things that I don't do that often (ex. tandem worm rig), it does have a lot of info on different jigs patterns as well as the special ones my father had in his tackle box when he died. The artist on the wall is an Alaskan resident Ray Troll who makes some really nice fish themed artwork. Some cheap prints can be found at Ravensbrew.com which is also in MHO the best coffee (try the Deadmans Reach).

Let me know what colors work for you in OH, unlike most manufacturers I am always happy to share patterns and tying information.

Tight Lines,
Jay

Very nice work and colors. Walleye and crappie like the same colors :icon14:

All purple or a color combo called John Deere (green/yellow) are probably the most popular......... yellow/white has done well for me and some friends that i have given away jigs to.

Top of the line worksmanship! I would guess the rack jigs are the most popular size in your area? What head weight & hook size? What are your personal color favorites?

These jigs on the rack were to fill spaces in my inventory. All 1/2 Barumba heads (5/8 are popular also) The Blue / Orange is a favorite at Oneida Lake where the fish like the Cuse colors. Black and purple is probably the hottest color in that lake. You cant go wrong with a sand pike or perch color jig. Blue / white, blue / chart I use mostly in the Susquehanna river.
