Burnin' the midnight oil does make these cold polar vortex days pass a bit more quickly.

I do like the Blue gill color.

[John Gillio]

The new colors all look great. I am partial to the shad color myself.

[Mike Clifford]

We had the Clifford Craw at one time......God, I miss that one. :}

[Eric]

Nice colors Jonn. Love the big hooks on those jigs too!

[Dick G]

John,

Great looking jigs! Could you show us some with your favorite trailers attached?

[Jonn Graham]

Only one type of trailer I use...............swim baits from Big Hammer. When I get back to school, I will try to post a picture of the whole package. By the way, when you buy swim jigs from me, you get Big Hammer tails for free!!! Just got a big shipment of tails in today from California.

 

Big Hammer is an advertiser in our newsletter.

[Mike G]

This is a naked unashamed blatantly commercial endorsement of Jonn's swimjig. Why should a person who has all the equipment and skills to make a swimjig buy Jonn's? Because they are so darn good.

At his presentation in Rockford I came to see all the work Jonn puts into the things. It begins when his elf hand pours the leadhead on a premium hook. That includes putting in a second tiny hook to hold the traiker. In the picture of the Bucketmouth you can kinda see that hook next to the hookshank directly below the hook point.


But there's more. Jonn personally does a bangup job of powderpainting, baking, and clearcoating the jighead. And more. there's a secret way Jonn ties on the skirt materials to make them puffy. Finally there's the weed guard made from an exact numder of mono strands-not too little, not too much.

Let's not forget Jonn's honesty. Notice that in the article he describes five of the six finishes as attractive to fishermen and one, the shad, as a fish catcher.


Bottom line you gotta buy a Shad Pattern for the fish and a couple others because they're so darn pretty.

You ever make any without the weedguard ?

[Jonn Graham]

Of course I can make them without the weedguard.........do it all the time for some clients.

Mike G:

 

Thanks for the kind words concerning my jigs.................they do take longer to make than most casual folks realize.....

[Mike G]

Jonn,

 

And thanks again for the demo in Rockford. That is what sold me. BTW what do they cost? $_______ a good deal at twice the price.

[Jonn Graham]

Price is $4 each or a dozen for $44. If you order two dozen, I ship for free. Big Hammer tails also included at no charge.
