[cool][#0000ff]Several reasons for so many jigs. First, I have to keep both me and TubeBabe well supplied...for many species on many waters. We fish probably 90% with various types of jigs, in many sizes and color...plastic, marabou, baitbugs, etc. Second, I am the preferred source of supply for several other friends and fishing buddies. I do not sell my stuff, but I do have a mutually beneficial "barter" arrangement going with a few folks. Third, I am always working on new designs and colors. If you visit the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?jump=forum%3D128"]LURE AND JIG MAKING[/url] board, which I also moderate, you will see lots of new stuff I am always working on.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I DO fish a lot, and I often fish in "dangerous" waters, with lots of structure and snags. So, I do donate a few of my creations on most trips. If you don't fish in the cover, you are often not going to catch much.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Lastly, I am the senior angler in a large family of fishermen. I have a tough time keeping up with the "needs" of the family members who fish...and who rely on me for their "discounted" tackle.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You might say that I'm a bit more serious than most casual anglers. In the attached pics you can get an idea of the scope of my operations. I make large batches and then keep them in compartmented boxes for either my own personal use or to go to "other destinations". [/#0000ff]
