Title: DIY Deepwater Jigs
Post by: Chris Webster on June 27, 2010, 07:00:26 PM

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where i could get my hands on some knife jig moulds?
Also, have any of you ever made jigs?

Cheers,
Chris

Chris, On one of my last trips I was lucky enough to be fishing with a couple of die hard Japanese jiggers, form my observations they had like a home made blob of lead with wire attatched, and kept shaving them untill they were happy with the way they swam in the water. They painted/attatched stickers etc to them at night and outfished everyone the next day! Innovation at it's best!
