That's AWESOME!! I'm sure as with many prospering "small-business" folks around here, they started off slowly and look where they are now...in the world's best outdoor/sporting goods catalog!!

Congrats First Cast!!

Great Mark. But now you are going to have to make jigs day and night. Soon you will be doing them in your sleep. No time to fish anymore. Good luck.

And if Bass Pro has any sense they will order a bunch, in suitable bassy colors, for their catalog too. Imagine bobber'n jig fishing off structure for bass. Killer!

Don't think you even need a bobber Jack. Just jig 'em using weedless jig hooks

I caught my first steelhead of the year on a first cast jig. It was also the first time I ever tried a jig period. Think I'll stick with'em. Nice job guys. Good luck.

Funny that you mentioned that Jack. Ive been sending custom tied Bass jigs to a gentleman back on the east coast for a couple years now. He even wrote an article about how effective they are for smallies. Practically every warm water fish he chases after loves them.

Here is a simlar color pattern that he has been using. The longer tail really comes to life in the water.



We're calling it the Long Tail Bass Jig .

OoO, nice color there. If you want an amazing all-around color combo for your maribou, try chartreus/blue/white. Throw a tuft of black for the 'tail' and you have a killer bass jig.

Mark,

I just got my Salmon / Trout eddition of cabela's and saw your jigs in there. The add looks good maybe not as much detail as your website but you should get a good response. Glad to see local products making a name for themselves. Congrats Mark!!! I hope you can keep up with the demand...

Great job, and great jigs. We can't keep them on the shelf at the store. They are sold out in no time.
You may have to hire some help now.!

Mark:

I just received a bunch of jigs you tied for me, the first ones I've ever ordered from you direct. BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to put them to use. I am a novice at the bobber &amp; Jig, but I've had some good success.

The "bass" jig you show, reminds me the Rooster Tail, green body with green and yellow streamer and gold blade. This, along with the brown w/ gold blade, have caught me a lot of steelhead on the Deschutes, incluning my largest ever, a 24# buck in 1981.

I haven't used them for years, but now that I've sterted having some success with bobber &amp; jig, I'm looking forward to having some tied up.

Imagine one of these (particularly the brown) in the water with some salmonflies in the air.

Mark, please PM me. I'd like to talk to you about this.

Drop me an e-mail and we can discuss different jig patterns. With all the colors available the sky is the limit.

Congratulations!
I've never used your jigs, but have used jigs of similar appearance. It's nice to see a small business grow. Congrats, Congrats, Congrats

Nothing beats a "hand tied" jig! Nothing!
