Had a special request for a bit darker, duller bluegill color. Took some cues from some of our gills that come from lakes with heavy weeds that tend to run a bit darker, and a touch of blue for color, and you get my new color, Bream.

It sounded ugly in my head, but it looked great once it was put together

That looks really good. Just seeing everyone's handmade lures really makes me want to try to make my own.

Great looking jig, bluebasser! 

 

One question for you, is there an advantage to using the flat-eye hooks as opposed to a regular hook?

A regular eye would require 2 split rings for the blade to be able to lay correctly and Zman has a patent on blades attached directly to the eye. So the flat eye is basically just the best option left

Looks great.  If you ever need a product tester for your "new colors" I'd be happy to give them a try

Sick color! I know I would buy some...

Me too. That would be perfect for areas that I fish

I know who is getting my name in next years Xmas exchange.

Hopefully Beckie will be catching some fish on the ones I sent her this last Fishmas exchange
