This baby was with me from the first days of the season fishing the spring spots and bangin' some nice early season bass with Swimmer, some of those mid to high teens and it also did some bluefish duty down the Cape in Wellfleet Harbor in July taking a beating from blues to 10 pounds! With any luck it will continue to produce right thru the end of the season....its got alot of life left in it!
Jigman Spook ,, solid 3 yrs. old ...Its been rewired once and is on its 3rd set of hooks , could really use a fourth . I stopped counting how many fish ... hundreds .. 3 hundred something .. I got my first 3 keepers on this plug last year on May 5th.. Largest to date 22 lbs. ..still working on that . This plug will not be retired ,, It will be fished until I'm dead or its gone . Jigman knows the secret of the Holy Grail . Look at the paint adhesion . That hook swing is 1/8" deep at one point .. Still you can not pick the surrounding paint off with your thumbnail ..
6in lefty copy. It has caught me lots of fish. Its survived some big blues.
I take left over epoxy and just slap it on every year or so to fix the
ruptures in the topcoat. Lip has been bent several times from slamming into jetties. Just got new hooks and will be in my bag this fall. Needs a new tail but I'm lazy.
I broke mine off on a rock out in front of manomet point last week in some super heavy surf. I knew it was risky, but it looked to good to pass up. It was a squiddly painted pencil, and I'd just stripped and repainted it.
Funny thing is, it's the first pencil I ever made that sank. It was overweighted, it cast better than the others, and once the water was moving the current held it up anyways. I learned a lot from that one...

Nebe I am very scared for you dood
Thanks, Salty - I thought I was the only guy who found that picture more than a little disturbing
Say..uhhhh...Nebe, have you found yourself with an almost uncontrollable desire to go fly-fishing lately?
Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that -
I mean, I've got a distant cousin - very distant - who I suspect might be a member of the Fishin' Coalition...
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
