Default Thanks First Cast Jigs, Joe Little's Tie Master and TH Custom Rods!!

WHOOOHOOOO!!! SANTA COMES EARLY !!

I have finally received all the pieces needed to begin a new adventure in steelie fishing....JIGS!! Received the last piece of the inventory today and I am PUMPED UP !! to start jig fishing. This is a life changing moment in my 44 years, YAAAAHOOOOO !!!! bring um on!!

Wheew, almost blew a vein :shocked: :grin:

I really want to Thank Mark at First Cast for his super help in getting me dialed in to jig fishing. Mark has been the epitome of customer service. He was very helpful in sharing information on jig fishing even to the point of answering my "stupid" questions. His jigs look very nice as illustrated in the pic. He uses Owner hooks which are sticky sharp....owwww...just stuck myself again....dang!...hehehehehe. Please if you are checking out jig fishing, give Mark a call...He is GREAT :smile:

I would like also Thank Jim for sending me two of Joe Little's Tie Masters. I have used this a few times now and once I get over my clumseiness with this I KNOWthis will be an awesome tool to have especially if you are using braided line.

Finally I would like to Thank Travis and his wife at TH CUSTOM RODSfor the beautiful rod I received today. This rod is a 9 1/2ft and made with a rainshadow blank. This is equivalent to a Loomis GL-3. The rod looks extremely nice and has a solid feel. I can't wait to get my first brat on this one which will hopefully come on Saturday.

I have been blessed with a very cool jig setup which Mark and Travis definately helped me to decide what to get.

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE FOR A VERY COOL SETUP!!



MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !! :smile: :smile:

Wow, you are set up and ready to go. Now if the rain would ever stop you can get out there and break in the new toys. When you get your first fish on a jig, make sure and take a picture.

Have a Merry Christmas

Mark

OK... I'll confesss :depressed:
We built Keith a beautiful TH 1143s (spinning)... with his name on it and everything.. and somewhere between the finish room and the mail room :whazzup: I don't know how, but Keith's tube got the wrong address. So... I have a client (on another message board) who called last night ( along with Keith) and said, "Hey TH I love the rod, but my name is not Keith and I ordered an TH1143c"
Keith will have his pretty TH 1143s by the middle of the week next week.. and my other client will have his rods as well.
Sorry Keith, you have been a great sport through all of this.

:whazzup:

CND, you have the eyes of an eagle, fingers of silk, and a computer...ole grasshopper!!LOL was hoping to slip that one by but I should have known there is nooooo waayyy this will happen :grin: :grin:

Unfortunately Murphy popped his attitude in on this one but Travis has assured me it will all be taken care of. Another reason to consider TH CUSTOM RODS for your next purchase.

:grin: :grin: :grin:

We couldn't wait for the Jig delivery from Mark, but we used the Tiemaster for the slip knot. The first time using jigs produced two Brats in a half an hour last week. After reading posts and attending Marks great seminar on the Clack we gave it a shot and it worked!! Absolute magic! :grin:
