Jigs

Another little project ive been working on, been messing about making some jigs. Apart from sambo jigging with shakari charters for sambos i havent really fished jigs before so looking forward to dropping these down. Guys at work just laugh at my homemade gear so hopefully will get something to shut them up, its kind of a quest for me.

 I reckon a dirty big dhubang will like the look of one of those. How heavy?

From the look of it they could probably double as trolling skirts...you could get your dhu, baldy, tuna and dolly all on the same lure!

Hey Guys they are quite light

Hey Guys they are quite light and only weigh 60grams but i generally only fish around the 3 mile in depths between 6 -15m. My last two dhuies were a 8kg fish in 6m and 6kg in 8m of water so im sure i would be able to get these jigs down even if it means casting up wind of the drift. Id be stoked with any fish that ate the jig.

 60 gms may be even too

 60 gms may be even too heavy.  I work on about a gram / metre of water depth.  If you can slowyour drift down you could use those in much deeper water and with a slow action, octo jig style.

 They look great, very professionally finished. I reckon a dhu would engulf them if you put it in front of one's nose

Mate the way your going with the teasers on the other

post and these jigs your prob gonna have your own line of tackle down the track. im not into jigging but i reckon the lumo jig and the red head jig rigged with wire and a game hook will smash a heap of tuna and wahoo pulled behind your teasers = keep up the good work and im lookn forward to posts of your catches with the jigs hanging out of their mouths

Cheers guys, will defeniatly keep you all posted on how it works out.

Beeroclock, i also been fly fishing for about 20 years and in the past had a small business importing fly reels. I tied flys commercially aswell for a couple of years for some very well know tackle stores so thats probly where i get some of my creativity from.

I get just as much enjoyment from making these things as i do fishing it all.

Thanks all

Lyle
