This has been a long winter for me. Matter of fact so long that I think that I am beginning to regain the lost hearing in my right ear. Believe me, after being married for going on 54 years--improved hearing is NOT a good thing.

I do have selective hearing when questioned about cost of tackle.-- HUH?
With all the attention that vertical jigging is getting and ever since I nearly collapsed from sticker shock when I checked the price on one of the more popular jigs, I figured I needed to fill some idle time. I have been making some homespun versions at a good material cost. I would be glad to share instructions for the do it yourselfers.
