Some new stuff from me. Jointed swimmers. 3 3/4 inch, AYC, used screw eyes on these. Nice snake like wiggle on top. Will dig about 6 inches if cranked pretty hard.

View Full Version : freshie stuff Jigman 02-23-2005, 08:34 PM My first attempt at hand carved cranks. Got some good pointers from a local friend on these. These ones are pretty much a knock off of some stuff he does. AYC, screw eyes. The largest one is 3 1/4 inches. Nice wide wobble to them. Shallow divers, hit 3-4 feet on retrieve. I'll use these along with the above jointed swimmers chasing smallmouth in the local creeks.

Have you made any in that paint pattern like that? Very nice. (Is that a Lithos Line plug?):) Karl F 02-23-2005, 09:47 PM jigman, those carved ones.. I got just the smallie patch for them, I'll have to show those to my son when he's home on break.. he'll flip out. steelhead 02-23-2005, 09:55 PM NJT Lefty 1 lip? Those will be killer. I know an estuary up here on the North Shore that the stripers would climb all over them this spring.... tattoobob 02-23-2005, 10:15 PM They look like schoolie candy Nice steelhead 02-23-2005, 10:38 PM Big ones, too. :-) Jigman 02-23-2005, 10:53 PM Thanks gents :) Steelhead, I believe those are Atom type lips on the jointed ones. Got a batch from Bernzy a while back and finally found a good use for them. Flap, I've done some stuff in the color for some guys on the Cape. Various plugs (needles, swimmers, poppers). Have not tried doing a larger sized jointed, sounds like I should concider it if I'm headed to the Cape this year ;) Jigman capesams 02-24-2005, 06:47 AM murreel baby's:kewl: nice job. reelecstasy 02-24-2005, 08:17 AM Lovin em :kewl: The Dad Fisherman 02-24-2005, 08:45 AM Like those Jointed Swimmers....pretty slick looking FlukinUki 02-24-2005, 10:32 AM Nice stuff jigman. Like the joints :) Skitterpop 02-24-2005, 11:05 AM Great work Jigman.... I bet they would work wonders and hold up in the surf as well................Lovely stuff! Mike Bernzy 02-24-2005, 11:06 AM :hihi: :btu: Bernzy Christian 02-24-2005, 02:40 PM hot damn niiiice Jigman 02-24-2005, 07:48 PM ... I bet they would work wonders and hold up in the surf as well ... A little light for tossing in the surf (around 1/2 oz). Doubt I will throw them at landlocked stripers either. Really not build strong enough for that purpose. Smallmouth bass, no problem :D Jigman Skitterpop 02-24-2005, 10:42 PM Estuary or in the wash....very flexible rod...light line....good drag.... catching! Jigman 02-25-2005, 04:28 PM Thanks Mike, I'll keep that info in mind. Might have to do up a couple with saltwater hooks. Jigman steelhead 02-25-2005, 07:33 PM I agree with Indianite. Fish like would would a fly in the wash at the beach break. Catch big fish.... Short line, let the current fish them for you... Maybe even on the end of a fly rod... Hmmmm.... Adam R 02-25-2005, 09:58 PM Good stuff jigs! You know how much I like the jointed plugs! You making a northern tour this fall? Jigman 02-26-2005, 10:57 AM Adam, certainly hope to make it up to the Cape and Rhody this fall. Really depends on work as it looks like a chaotic schedule for this year. Right now, things are looking good for a trip up there late Sept/early Oct. Will certainly let you know if I'm going to be in the area.
