Os:

I was going to order 13 of these jigs.
Which jigs would you reccomend to cover a variety of water conditions? Mostly low/clear water in Oregon. Although I do rub elbows with the boys at Blue Creek from time to time.

The jigs that silent approach puts out are absolutely beautiful! In fact, I had them make me some earings!!!! I love em!
Anyway, I fished them all this morning, and although I didnt get a strike, I notice that each one is absolutely beautifully made. The eyes are all clean and easy to thread, everything about them says PERFECT!
I fished everything I knew today, lures, okies, corkies, jigs, worms, shrimp, eggs, and did nada.

Aren't they great jigs Os! I recently purchased the 13 jig special and they put in a couple of the rabbit fur jigs in the 1/8th oz. size and they look absolutely fish deadly; yet so pretty I almost hate to get them wet and dirty ... but I will just have to force myself to . Thanks Lynn and Roger. ... Smoky, access their webpage at www.silentapproach.com and tell them the same thing as you posted and they will recommend and make you what you want for the water conditions you are going to fish. ... Hey Jen, I just noticed on the Wilson graph that it has come up about a foot, so I think it's possible that the fish that had been waiting down river in the low water could have been moving real fast and not wanting to do anything but travel. Give it a try tomorrow as the water drops and they start to hole up - it should be a better day. - Steve

Steve ,
yes they are ,in fact my second batch has some with Rabbit and Artic Fox.
They do custom stuff as well,keep an eye out on their site for a new jig called the "Os" Special.(cool name Huh)
Roger and I are doing some R&D also on some other designs and styles.
Keep up the good work....Os

BTW:Smoky I would recommend pink and white (lots of different shades here)or just white
as far as the gang at Blue creek goes thats a Red and Black show there most of the time,but sometimes something different is the key....Os

They are also making a jig called "Lil Jennie".
Cool! I can't wait to see it!
Yeah, RT, that happens when the river comes up. Can't help but fish it today though, the color is supreme.

Hey Jen, I've seen the prototype and it's kewl I didn't know the "product name" at the time so me and O's called it a corkibou. hence the name.
