Not sure what to think today, but the product was easy to use. Just did a couple of quick wraps to see what this product is all about..more to follow.

I did a few more jigs and yes the jigskinz are easy to use, boiling water works best, if you are cutting a hole for hardware you to be mindful as to how long you leave your lure in the water as it will continue to shrink and can open up the hole bigger than you want. I will have to wait till April to test them out and see how they hold up to pounding on the rocks

I especially like the squid one.

Big T, those look incredible. I have a giant box of jigs I got off of Craigslist. This guy was a lobsterman that had hundreds of jigs he had been collecting for a few decades. Said he pulled them all off of lobster pot lines. He had some that he claimed he got back in the 40s. They were really cool. If I had more money I would have bought them all. I bought a big box of the cod jigs. Some look really clean but some are missing paint, plating, stickers. I'm going to try this on my beat up jigs.

I am going to order some of these and try them out on fishing rod blanks. Probably alot easier and cheaper then dealing with real Pua laminate.

I wish they had an Akule or Opelu (i.e. Mackerel Scad) patterns.

Really cool concept to freshen up an old jig!
I didn't even know about these.
