Love how everything old... is new again... If you go down to the Keys ask for bonefish jigs and you'll find all you need. Everyone I knew called them skimmer jigs... Long before the huge growth of fly fishing in the salt, skimmers were the only way to go for most that got tired of tossing shrimp (or crabs...) at bonefish or permit... They'd been around forever when I came here back in 1971... At any rate I've been making them for folks quite a few years now (for those not satisfied with what they find in stores... ). Everything made to custom order - I keep no stock...
Here's a few pics (believe I posted this info here not too many years ago...).
These are all skimmers - you choose head and tail color, length, etc. They only come in 1/5oz size
These are backcountry jigs - I do them in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2oz sizes...
At any rate anyone wanting a price list, additional styles, etc. just send an email request to
[email protected] - you'll get your info by return mail that day, if possible...
As you can guess this is one of the things I do when I'm not on the water -so the next three months things might take a while - Once skeeter season comes around I'll have lots of time to make bucktails, leadheads, etc...
