Bladed Jigs.

[bigjim5589]

Lipripper asked me if I could make some "Road Runner" style bladed jigs for him to target Crappies. So, here's the result, which could also be a good choice for bass. These are 1/8 oz, molded on a #2 Mustad Ultra Point 32833BLN hook. Lip wanted a stout hook, as he said they often hook up with catfish or Walleye's, and this hook is 2X strong, & popular with the Steelhead folks for jigs. Should be no problem!   

Owner & Gamakatsu make similar hooks too, but are a bit more costly. Any of the three brands work well IMO.

They're powder painted black, and I used Sampo swivels & Worth blades. These were made in black with nickel blades per Lips request, as he said it's what he has the most success with! I made 50 of them, 40 for Lip & some extra's for myself. The eyes are painted with enamel. I used Ace Hardware paints, which worked fine! Only took pics of a dozen & a single close up. 

It's that time of year, so if you're not inclined to only be chasing bass, or really enjoy targeting the panfish, these types of jigs are fun to make!

They looks nice Jim and should catch John and I some nice Crappie and Walleyes and should hold the BIG Catfish we hook on them also. You did a great job and John will be pleased. OH the check is in the mail and since your PM box is still full here is the $500 you asked for with a little tip
