a buddy of mine uses copper pipe like this.  it seems very effective!

OK Alan, is your friend a hippie from the 60's and what exactly is he stuffing into that copper pipe It must be the good stuff if it's as effective as you say. ....HAHAHAHA

he's got some sort of rig that has one section of copper pipe inside another.  he says it clangs like crazy.  he seems to catch fish.  been wanting to try it.

Thanks for the detailed explanation... might try that with our east coast cod next trip out.  It all makes sense to me now

A great design - thanks for sharing.
They look similar to the 'bottom ship' and 'jitterbug' jigs we use here in NZ (considerably more affordable though).
Cheers, Justin

Homemade is always Best-at least Most Rewarding. 

These are typical BC style-just net weights or mootching sinkers painted white w/ glo hootchies attached.

As  mentioned upthread I've often wondered if the copper pipe used in WA & Alaska imparts some quality of attraction to those jigs-here in BC the further north a person goes the better a glo/white colour works.
