Jig heads

So the one thing I have learned through trial and tribulations of owning your own business is being able to adapt. I started out making simple probably not very good quality spinnerbaits. As I learned more about the lure and found different types I evolved. I use a higher quality wire, sharper hooks and better blades. I often find myself in craft stores now looking at the beads and coming with new and exciting ways to make those beads match everything else on the lure. In December a high school friend reached out to me and asked if I would make him 25 buzzbaits. I had never even fished a buzzbait let alone knew what one was. But off to research and develop I did. I now even fish buzzbaits when the opportunity arises. Then came inline spinners. So many people waste their money on roostertail and mepps lures when I have found the mass producing of these lures has caused a decrease in their quality. So I started making my own. Not into trout fishing much anymore since where I live produces more bass and sunfish fishing. Which brings me to my next step in evolution. I will soon be making jig heads. With a great supply of lead at my disposal I will be making jig heads by the hundreds. I have mulled over the idea for sometime now and have always come around to not wanting to change. However the idea has been in my head since I did my first craft fair. A gentleman there said he would by hundreds of jig heads if available. I even wrote it down "jig heads". So soon enough I will be adding them to my etsy page in hopes they sell just as well as the spinnerbaits, inlines and buzzbaits. Just another piece of arsenal gathering in my tackle box :) Who knows maybe my next step will be trolling rigs. Hmm... not a bad idea :) Cheers and keep your lines tight!

New posts coming...

I just realized that I have lacking on posting my newest items to my blog. January was the last time I posted anything. Shame on me lol. Just to give you some in site as to what I have been doing for the past couple of months. I still am on Etsy. I have done okay there but most of my sales have been privately. I did a big sale of buzzbaits to an old high school friend of mine. Also I went to a craft fair and did very well there. All in all I say my spinnerbaits have sold well. I'm always driving for more sales though. Anayways I will be adding more pictures soon and please dont be afraid to comment on anything you see and like. Everything I post is available on my Etsy store plus I will do special orders via contacting me. Thanks for following me!
