Yet another way to use jigs.

[QPassage]

About a week ago I had someone message me on ebay requesting a special jig. The kind that doesn't catch fish. Well ok they might but not being used for that. 1/4 oz Minnows about 3 1/2 inches long.


Yup wedding boutonnieres


Apparently the bride and groom both like to fish. I was told the wedding is to take place in some old fishing shack close to the water. It wouldn't surprise me if a couple of these get tested.
Kinda neat I thought.

I would sure tie one of those on!! Well Done!!:icon14:

Fantastic idea!

 

[Jig Man]

Only way those wont catch fish is if ya cut the hook off....

 

[AllenOK]

Yep, the "artsie-fartsie" side of tying!

Have you ever seen the level of involvement for tying full-dress Salmon Flies? The kind that sell for a few hundred $$ each?

LOL Allen, I never thought of it like that. That deer hair sometimes has a terrible odor to it.

Seems like that's the new rage for people getting married these days. I've had several come into my store looking for jigs or stuff the tie them with for weddings? What's next? Pinning a fresh bluegill on the groom's men and a fresh bass on the Groom? Maybe fresh crappie for the bride and blackhead minnows for the bridal party? Ok, I'll shut up now.

As long as they both like fishing things should work out between them.
