Stumbled across this product and ordered up some to try out on some of my old jigs. If you haven't heard of Jigskinz before here is a link to their site :  http://www.jigskinz.com/

Hey Peanut Gallery  ;D actually I ordered some lifelike stuff and will be dressing up some bottom fishing gear for a spring report to the owner/inventor ... I think them rocks will be tuff on this stuff but for $1.00-$2.00 per lure it's better that $10.00- $14.00 per lure to replace. I may also do an epoxy cover over a few to test as well.

I like my old lures with the paint chewed off. The fish obviously do too. It's all about the motion in the ocean.
But pretty can't hurt!

Gee Tanks,  I did not know?   ???  Got to try this product.   Wish my wife and daughter saw this sooner?   Wood fit a few in my Christmas stocking...   See, an old dog can buy new tricks!!!  ::)

It's very highly thought of in the South and East. Been around awhile.
