I was speaking to Jimi not long ago and he said to me;
:cool: "if anything were ever to happen to me, would you make sure that the fishing community is offered the "Purple Haze" Fluke jig"?
:) I couldnt say no, but I asked him to be more specific as to the design. I didnt want to dissappoint my old pal.
:cool: "I want it to have a "purple haze body, with an 'eclipse glow head', and 'pearl krystal flash running boards'. Most importantly, it is to have a 'swing hook'.
:) I asked "Jimmy, is the swing hook used because it helps BIG FISH from shaking the jig"?;)
:cool: "Well, he said, that is true, but I like the swing hook because it reminds me of the hot action I get on the swaybar of my stratocaster guitar. Man, you can get the rods bent just like I bend my B string with the whammy bar."
He then looked at me with a cold stare and said "one more thing. In honor of Noel and Mitch, will you offer a money back guarantee if this jig does not produce with BIG FLUKE, and lots of them?
:) what was I going to say NO?:confused:
"of course we will guarantee them":)

Love the swing hook idea, let us know when ya have some in, I was even thinking of a jig-head with a sleeve or hole straight through to rig it as you would an egg sinker, just a lot better looking...

Leif, did you know that that's Jimi burning all his old fluke bucktails. Right on the back deck of the Jamaica 2. I told him it wasnt a good idea, but when he saw the purple haze bucktails, he just lost control.:eek:
