No Tom, I just wanted you to look at this last picture group.  I added more white marabou as requested.  This is one of your color groups and I need the OK before I will go on to the next color group...

They look good !

If you would like to do up a set of fire tiger ones that would be great also , either way I quess send them to me . I have yet to get started on the lures as I have been down for almost three weeks with some kind of flu bug . They won't take me long to make once I get started though.  Also If you want me to afix some of these to the lures I'll make for you then do up the colors you like and I will try to match the paint to them .

They look really good Pete  thanks.

I'll see what kind of color combos for fire tiger I can come up with...green, chartrouse, yellow, red...I shall see.  Sorry to hear about your illness.  Get well my friend!  I'll post whatever ideas I come up with.

Hey Y'all,

      Well I am just getting back on here , when they folks up front changed things again , it shut me off again and now I'm finally getting back on . Will the fun never stop?

Any ways the hooks look great , Pete does an excellant job on them . If any of y'all are interested in them  don't be bashful , they are profesional appearing , you won't be disappointed .

Thanks Pete, can't wait to get them on and fish with them.

  tight line y'all

   tom

thems lookd saxy Petey.

now all we have to do is get yah started adding a wire shaft  weight and a blade .

you can use sinkers for weights bullet or egg sinkers work

now that you have transfer d to  single hooks  don't be shy to Tye up  some hair jigs .
 smash  down the lead  > barb and lay a base of thread and  do the same thing .

you can also use a rabbit zonker strip .  then add marabou or hair  just tye  the strip in  so it rides

hair up  in other words insert hook in  vice  and tye to the bottom of the hook shank  so the  hair is facing the shank and  will ride hair up when it is fished.  you want to strip a bit of hair of the strip  so you can tye it in  .


 

Take a kid fishing

Here is half of a custom set I am working on...

 

 

These don't need to be completed until spring, but I couldn't resist getting a start on them!
