I am finally in receipt of my first production run of glow JigSkinz with holographic foil. I want to offer these to everyone at a reduced rate to get the ball rolling. They will likely be up on Tackle Direct in the coming weeks but I wouldn’t mind getting a few bulk orders out to those who have been waiting. Tackle Direct will likely be carrying small packs with no ability to mix and match.
I do want you to be aware of some idiosyncrasies of the product due primarily to the foil. That is the main reason for the delay. I want to make sure everyone understands what they are buying.
I have only made this run in a size #2, which is primarily a jig size, in the 6 colors shown below. All white bellies glow outward to the edge of the spot color.
This for a size reference.
Fully shrunk length and width.
This set will show you the effects of shrinkage on the foil. The reasoning behind it is that foils are laid out like mountain peaks, somewhat vertically. As they get shrunk, they are laid flat and therefore revert to a 2 dimensional shape that no longer reflects. The material just turns a grey/silver color. You see it primarily on the ends of the lures where they taper off and require more shrinkage.
Other places where lures have protruding parts can be affected too. Of course the GLOW is not affected at all by t
If anyone wants to do a big order, I’d love to be a part of it.
Place my order today. Gotta get pouring a few more jigs.
Looks like you got a Jigskinz bandaid on your finger:smiley:.
Thanks!

I had some guy at one of my trade show booths stick his finger in the 190 degree water with a skin on it to impress his hot girlfriend. I made him videotape a waiver prior to it.
You could see it on his face instantly that it was a bad idea…can’t fix stupid. Wonder if he got a piece that night?

So hypothetically speaking if you were going to OBX next week and wanted to catch a big eye tuna. What color / jig combination would you use? Hypothetically of course…

Bigeye like to feed deep sometimes and use there BIG EYE to chase squid. If I were jigging, I would go pink/glow and a little bling can’t hurt.
