Terry Dodge Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Burnin' the midnight oil does make these cold polar vortex days pass a bit more quickly. I do like the Blue gill color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 The new colors all look great. I am partial to the shad color myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice colors Jonn. Love the big hooks on those jigs too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick G Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 John, Great looking jigs! Could you show us some with your favorite trailers attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 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.
