I can't wait!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

got any idea how many ounces they are?
Are they filled with lead?

Yes filled with lead!! The new ones i did today are 20 oz (10) and I have a few a little bit havier, and I have about 5 or 6 that are 17 oz

You got an idea on the cost to make per jig ?

well I got the 3/4 Alumin pipe for free from the dump 2 pieces about 12 feet in all

the lead I collect from everyone I no!! But it can be had for $7 for 10 # at your local plumping supply.

8/0 trebiles .95 each (cheaper in bulk I am sure)

Split rings .25 each ( again cheaper in Bulk I am sure)

Gas, and your time.

Since I got most stuff free its woth it for me!! And alummin pipe don't rust!!

Aluminum and lead, I am probably off base but wouldn't these two substances effect the water in some way?

yea they get a hook in the mouth and they go in my fry pan!! :laughs:

I have been using them for 5 years now

What I meant was doesn't the lead and aluminum some how effect the water? I am not saying that this is something that is your falt there is a ton of terminal tackle made with lead.

If the fish is hooked, it's time is up anyway!!!
only hrs till it's filled anyway

Now these fish are in pretty deep water, is it color that attracts them to strike or is it the sound?? If it is sound like I presume wouldnt a jig that bends in half like a broken back rebel make all kinds of noise attracting more fish? Just thinking out loud, Maco I could use a few of them;)

Macojoe,

PURPLE!!
Just ask the Freak!
The Haddock love the color purple too!!

If you can, add some krystal flash to them also.....

I have to start looking for more pipe soon!! I am running out. I have a friend that has some Stainless pipe for me :D

The first ones I ever made were made with crome pipe and they rust up pretty good but they last for a while. I keep cleaning them up then spray with clear coat.

Then I started keeping them in a bucket of salt water till i got home then washed with warm water and soap. That helped alot!!

bluerple, kristal flash, teasers.:humpty: :humpty:

going to look for purple tomorrow!!

Thanks guys!! :happy:

MJ, I'll give ya a call tomorrow.;)

2 1/2 inch purple shrimp worked well for my pool winning cod.

purple bucktails

What size diameter and the length of pipe. I work on Cape as a machinist in the oceanographic industry and have access to stainless. I think stainless would be the way to go because you can polish it up shinny. I would be interested in making some. Drop me a P M and maybe we can do a little trade if I can get what you are looking for and I get some info. P.M.

I'm GONNA HOE one of those JIG's OFF ya

Try it Buster!!! :laughs:

MJ got the same jigs! Teasers use white, green, blue or purple bucktail. These tipped with a touch of bait = Haddock!

Only a Googan puts bait on a jig or teaser :D

Red was the common thread amongst the tackleshops I consulted. Everyting from buck-tails to rubber shrimp. Some votes for white, but mostly in red.

May have to look for some blurple with flash.

-IWK

Anymore room on this trip?

I have one, possibly two boats that may be joining the trip if its ok with everyone.....

Ricky and the Christians need a boat.
Jim, if you want to go I'd love to see the new boat!!!
PM me if you're interested (sorry I haven't talked in a while, some Vietnamese guy stole my restaurant!):D
Later,
Rick

That's why Ben caught a big haddock last trip!

Nice jigs ya made there MJ. :)

Light doesn't penetrate 250' below the surface does it? How can the fish "see" the color ...... LOL.

I've always been told its the noise the lure makes - clicking & clanking down there that gets the fishes attention.

Jigs gotta HIT the bottom or ya may be wasting your time. ;)

ray, thats why they have a new green marine lumiscent light for the deepwater...;)
