I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

A customer up in GR asked me to tie him up a custom color jig and it looked so cool i decided to name it after him.  Here it is, not the best pic but its essentially watermelon skirt with a few strands of orange pepper on tbe bottom and some blue pepper mixed in on top. We are gonna call it Monzo after the guy who asked for it, Martin Monzo.  His name is cool enough to make our color chart ;)

I like it and have already tied up 5 for me, myself, and I.  But i will have them at the Wonderland Show this weekend if anyone else likes it enough to buy there own.

Well since posting the picture last night or should i say early this morning, we have had 4 orders for this color totaling 18 jigs.  so im thinking we will just bring this color to the show ;)  maybe a couple McCarter Magics too, you know, just to feed my ego ;D

Looks Sweet, I would have called it the Gilbert though ;D, that may be a Pinckney thing however?

I'm bummed I won't be @ the Wonderland's great show this year (Wedding in Maryland) have a good time!

Oh man this is going to go right to his 18 year old head!  Can't wait to forward this thread to him.

Way to go Brian... there will be NO LIVING WITH HIM now!!  LOL!!!

He's a great kid, and a heck of a bass fisherman.  And he's MY partner!

Looks like work is going to get in the way of me getting to the Wonderland show.  Dang.

Is that tied on a Revenge jighead, or are you doing your own jigheads too?  Just wondering, I may have to pick a few up with some custom colors of my own.

we pour the heads ourselves.  its a new mold design and we modified it to fit the screw lock around the hook.  we paint them ourselves, too.  what colors you have in mind?  i would have to say the funnest part of making stuff is doin custom stuff.  its always cool to hear other peoples ideas on colors and combos.

if its a secret, just pm me ;)

McCarter himself :-\'

cr

What about my White/Chartreuse, and just White?

McCarter

refresh my memory charles.  i have both tied but couldnt remember why i did them???

cr

The customer is always right, right?  :) ;D   No I didn't order any, just suggested the colors on the post where you were asking for input on colors, months ago. Might pick some up this weekend though . 

McCarter

did you want swim jigs?

if so, you want a little flashabou in them?

McCarter himself :-\'

cr

 Yeah, maybe, how about both ? White, White/Flashabou, White/Chartreuse, White/Chartreuse/Flashabou. Do I detect skepticism in your post ? Don't like White jigs?

play for keeps

wow that is a really good looking color.... and monzo is such a cool name for a jig

lol ;)

Do you tie them with wire? Im done buying skirts with the rubber bands.

McCarter

we sure do.  i hate rubber collars.

Waterfoul

If you haven't seen Brian's jigs, you should order some.  They are top notch and well made.  I have quite a few now and I'm sure I'll be buying more of them over the course of the season.  And some gobies!!  You have to check out his gobies!!

i agree, brians jig are some of the best ive seen, and the twist wire keeper really locks any chunk you want to put on it, youll destroy the chunck before it slides down the shank :o
