SafetyChain Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hello All, First post and new to the group. I wanted to make the formal introduction. I was guided to this site by another member I met while searching the Internet for molds. I am as green as they come to making my own tackle. I have been interested in making tackle for several years and finally starting to do something about it. I have poured my own lead for about a year. I pour jigs and weights for now (I have a never ending supply of lead). Being from the Pacific NW I do a lot of Sturgeon, Steelhead and Salmon fishing but also take an annual bass trip to Eastern Oregon every May. My oldest son (15y/o) is learning to do this with me as he loves to fish with his own creations. He caught his first springer last year on his own spinner (caught it all on tape too ). I hope to learn much from this site and appreciate all I have already learned just from reading old posts. My intention to to start out with soft baits to go along with my jigs. And then maybe get into hard baits. Don't have any real goal to sell publicly, mostly for my own use. I do have a small ministry I will use this for. Whenever I am out on the water, I hand out a small package that contains a jig with a soft body. The packaging includes a short tract and is titled JIGS for Jesus Is Gods Son. Anyway, thanks for the site allowing me to learn from you all. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
