Those are some sweet looking jigs!

If you want I can field test them for you out in Morro Bay in a couple weeks ;D  ::) ;D ::)

Ok i,m always to little, and too late.   Mr.pjstevko I,d be glad to send you one in your choice of colors Butt i,m on a winter vacation to Oregon and not home for about the first of the new year,  I did not bring any with me and will be glad to send you possibly a more refined version of these jigs.    I haven't had  a good chance to fish these either,  it seems like the weather and my windows closed sooner than I expected, nor wanted.   The mold is in good shape and in my spare winter time up north i,m planning on pouring some more lead being more careful.
   I feel good about how these are different in design, colors, hook options, and am confident they will work good.

Here's another skirt a little shorter that's a 2 pc skirt and it could be the glow inner part (shown) might be the outer skirt or just a single skirt used.   This is marketed by Delta tackle.  I can find them reasonable and in a 2 pk.  About 6$ Alaska dollars 💵.

Looks great and I'm sure they'll be fish killers!

These are quite a bit sturdier than most skirts.  Presently my jigs shown are planned to be used with tandem j hooks using bait hanging.    I,m sure they will catch some things.

Here's another crazy twist to the fish, the forward angle will make the jig appear more lively I'm thinking 🤔.  As a part human it's my thinking that may move the center of the gobble forward some?  That's to the jigs advantage.   Maybe?

Gary, those look great! I haven't seen a grouper throw up an octopus but everything down here eats squid, and I've no doubt your jigs would get crushed with a squid pinned on! I wish I had time to do this!
